WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool operation.

CAUTION: Always observe the following safety precautions:

• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all precautions are understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).

• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer, turn switch OFF and remove plug from power source.

• Make sure all guards are properly attached and securely fastened.

• Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.

• Always wear eye protection or face shield.

• Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached to cutterhead.

• Do not plug in planer unless switch is in off position.

After turning switch on, allow planer to come to full speed before operating.

• Keep hands clear of all moving parts.

• Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.

• Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are smoother with good quality wood.

• Do not plane material shorter than 15", narrower than 8/4"_wider than 13" or thinner than 1/2".

• Never make planing cut deeper than %_".

• For workpieces longer than 24"_ use material support stands. See Recommended Accessories, page 13.

• Do not back the work toward the infeed side.

• Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit anyone to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.

Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.

• Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever planer is not in use.

• Replace knives as they become damaged or dull.

• Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance instructions (see pages 8 -9).

ure 6 Switch Lock

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Refer to Figure 5.

The planer is equipped with a motor protection device-circuit breaker. The breaker will automatically shut the planer off when excessive current is consumed.

If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer off and reset the circuit by pressing the button.

CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer off prior to resetting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up of the planer.

DEPTH OF CUT

Refer to Figure 12.

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness which the planer will produce is indicated by the scale (Key

No. 30).

Depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the rollercase using handle (Key No. 27).

.

Each full rotation of the handle moves the rollercase

1/16 tt

.

Quality of thickness planing depends on the operator's judgement about the depth of cut.

.

Depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, dampness, grain direction and grain structure of the wood.

.

Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed in one pass is '/8" for planing operations on workpieces up to 6" wide. Workpiece must be positioned away from the center tab on the rollercase to cut W'.

.

Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed in one pass is '/,6" for planing operations on workpiece from 6" up to 13" wide.

CAUTION: A %2"depth-of-cut on hard, softwood 6-13" wide can be made. However, continuous operation at this set-up can cause premature motor failure.

.

For optimum planing performance, the depth of cut should be less than 1/18".

.

Board should be planed with shallow cuts until the work has a level side. Once a level surface has been created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.

.

Plane alternate sides until the desired thickness is obtained. When half of total depth of cut is taken from each side, the board will have a uniform moisture content and additional drying will not cause it to warp.

.

Depth of cut should be shallower when work is wider.

.

When planing hardwood, take light cuts or plane the wood in thin widths.

.

Make a test cut with a test piece and verify the thickness produced.

.

Check accuracy of test cut prior to working on finished product.

DEPTH-OF-CUT GAUGE

Refer to Figure 13.

A spring loaded depth-of-cut gauge (Key No. 23) is attached to front of rollercase. The pointer on depth-ofcut gauge accurately displays the depth-of-cut per pass when workpiece is positioned below the gauge.

Cranking the handle moves the rollercase down and the pointer shows depth-of-cut up to 3/82"

6

Recommended Maximum Depth-Of-Cut:

Hard/Softwood up to 6" wide: ..................

Hard/Softwood 6-1 3" wide: ......................

CAUTION: A 8/82"depth-of -cut on hard, softwood

6-1 3" wide can be made. However, continuous operation at this set-up can cause premature motor failure.

WORKPIECE THICKNESS PRE-SET GAUGE

Refer to Figure 7.

An eight position workpiece thickness pre-set control knob is mounted on right side of planer. This knob allows operator to preset the desired finished workpiece thickness. Eight settings are provided: W', W', 1/2",8/4",1 ", 1W',

1 W'and 18/4".

Example: Plane a 2" thick workpiece up to 11/4".

• Raise or lower rollercase until it is just above the workpiece.

• Position the workpiece on the planer table below the rollercase.

• Rotate knob until 11/4"is indicated.

• The planer is now set to stop the rollercase when the workpiece thickness reaches 11/4".

NOTE: To reset for a different depth stop, raise the rollercase by about 2 rotations. Turn knob to desired set-up.

Figure 7 - Workpiece Thickness Pre-set Guage

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES

• Thickness planer is a precision woodworking machine and should be used on quality lumber only.

• Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear out blade.

• Remove nails and staples. Use planer to cut wood only.

• Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes knots hard. Knots can come loose and jam blade.

CAUTION: Any article that encounters planer blades may be forcibly ejected from planer creating risk of injury.

PREPARE WORK

• Thickness planer works best when lumber has at least one flat surface.

• Use surface planer or jointer to create a flat surface.

• Twisted or severely warped boards can jam planer.

Rip lumber in half to reduce magnitude of warp.

• Work should be fed into planer in same direction as the grain of the wood. Sometimes grain will change directions in middle of board. In such cases, if possible, cut board in middle before planing so grain direction is correct.

CAUTION: Do not plane board which is less than 15" long; force of cut could split board and cause kickback.

FEEDING WORK

The planer is supplied with planing blades mounted in the cutterhead and infeed and outfeed rollers adjusted to the correct height. Planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly depending on type of wood.

• Feed rate refers to rate at which lumber travels through planer.

• Align work perpendicular to rollercase so that work feeds through planer straight.

• Raise/lower rollercase to produce the depth of cut desired.

• Stand on side to which the handle is attached.

• Boards longer than 24" should have additional support from free standing material stands.

• Position the workpiece with the face to be planed on top.

• Turn the planer on.

• Rest board end on table and direct board into planer.

• Gently slide workpiece into the infeed side of the planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the workpiece.

• Let go of the workpiece and allow automatic feed to advance the workpiece.

• Do not push/pull on workpiece. Move to the rear and receive planed lumber by grasping it in same manner as it was fed.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury due to kickbacks, do not stand directly in line with front or rear of planer.

• Do not grasp any portion of board which has not gone past out-feed roller.

• Repeat this operation on all boards which need to be same thickness.

• Planer has return rollers on top so assistant can pass work back to operator.

NOTE: Assistant must follow same precautions as operator.

• Surface that the planer will produce will be smoother if shallower depth of cut is used.

Avoiding Snipe

• Snipe refers to a depression at either end of board caused by an uneven force on cutterhead when work is entering or leaving planer.

• Snipe will occur when boards are not supported properly or when only one feed roller is in contact with work at beginning or end of cut.

7

• To avoid snipe, gently push the board up while feeding the work until the outfeed roller starts advancing it

• Move to the rear and receive planed board by gently pushing it up when the infeed roller looses contact with the board

• When planing more than one board of the same thickness, butt boards together to avoid snipe

• Snipe is more apparent when deeper cuts are taken

• Feed work in direction of grain Work fed against grain will have chipped, splintered edges

• Loosen and remove three screws and belt guard

• Press cutterhead latch down and carefully rotate belt towards you until cutterhead locks in position

Planer will operate best if kept in good condition and properly adjusted

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

• Condition of blades will affect precision of cut

Observe quality of cut which planer produces to check condition of blades

• Dull blades will tear, rather than sever wood fibers and produce fuzzy appearance

• Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying density Raised edge will also be produced where blades have been nicked

• Blades on this planer are reversible Blades should always be reversed or replaced as matched set

Keeping a spare set of blades on hand is recommended

CHANGING BLADES

Refer to Figures 8-10 page 8

WARNING: Always turn planer OFF and disconnect from power source before starting any maintenance work

• Loosen and remove thumb screws from dust chute and hood on the rear side of planer Remove chute and hood

Figure 9 - Remove Gib Bolts

• Loosen, but do not remove, eight screws located on gib Loosen screws just enough so that gib is loose, allowing blade to be removed

• Insert the magnetic blade removal tool under the center of the gib

• Lift the tool up until blade is free of pins and then remove blade

NOTE: Magnet can be easily disengaged from gib by tilting it to left or right

CAUTION: Blade edges are extremely sharp Keep fingers away from blades at all times

• Blade is located in position by two pins Carefullly lift old blades from cutterhead using magnets Do not make contact with the blade using fingers Use magnet only

• Reverse or replace blade and carefully position it on the two pins using magnet

• Replace gib and align the holes on the gib with holes on the blade using magnet

• Secure gib to cutterhead using eight bolts earlier

• Depress latch to release cutterhead Release latch when cutterhead can be turned by hand

ADJUSTING TABLE LEVEL

Refer to Figures 12 and 13, pages 12 and 14.

The planer will produce uneven depth of cut (tapered cut) if the rollercase (Fig. 13, Key No. 31 ) is not parallel with the base (Fig. 12, Key No. 34). To restore parallelism of the rollercase with the base:

.

Using a test piece, measure the height of the taper.

.

Turn planer off and disconnect from power source.

.

Fold the front and rear extension tables.

.

Lay planer carefully on it's side so that bottom side of the base is exposed.

° Clamp vise plier (not supplied) on the left side of shaft (Fig. 12, Key No. 52) next to the gear (Fig. 12,

• Aprenda las normas de seguridad generales para el uso de herramientas mecanicas. Aseg_rese de comprender todas las precauciones (vea las paginas 20, 21,24 y 25).

• Cuando ajuste o reemplace cualquier pieza de la cepilladora, Ileve el interruptor a la posici6n OFF (apagado) y retire el enchufe de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

• Aseg_rese que todos los protectores est_n correctamente acoplados y firmemente sujetos.

• Aseg_rese que nada obstaculice ninguna pieza m6vil.

• Siempre use protecci6n para los ojos o para la cara.

• Aseg_rese que las cuchillas est_n alineadas y correctamente acopladas al portacuchilla.

• No enchufe la cepilladora a menos que el interruptor est_ en la posici6n de OFF (apagado). Despu_s de encender el interruptor, permita que la cepilladora alcance toda la velocidad antes de usar.

• Mantenga las manos alejadas de las piezas m6viles.

• No fuerce el corte. Si disminuye la velocidad o se queda atascado, se recalienta el motor. Permita que la alimentaci6n automatica funcione correctamente.

• Use madera de calidad. Las cuchillas duran mas y los cortes resultan mas uniformes si la madera es de buena calidad.

• No cepille material que tenga menos de 15" de Iongitud, menos de 3/4"de ancho, mas de 13" de ancho o menos de 1/2"de espesor.

• Nunca haga un corte de cepillado mayor de 3/32"de profundidad.

• Para piezas de trabajo con una Iongitud mayor de 24", use plataformas de apoyo para materiales. Vea "Accesorios recomendados" en la pagina 13.

• No haga retroceder la pieza hacia la superficie de alimentaci6n.

• Tome las precauciones necesarias en caso de contragolpes. No permita que nadie cruce ni est_ de pie en la trayectoria de rotaci6n del portacuchilla.

Los contragolpes o los residuos arrojados iran en esta direcci6n.

• Abra el interruptor y desconecte la alimentaci6n si no se esta usando la cepilladora.

• Reemplace las navajas si se daSan o desafilan.

• Dele mantenimiento a la cepilladora.

Siga las instrucciones de mantenimiento (vea las paginas 27-28).

CONTROLES DE OPERACION

INTERRUPTOR DE ON/OFF (ENCENDIDO/APAGADO)

Vea la Figura 5.

El interruptor de ON/OFF (encendido/apagado) se halla en la parte delantera del motor de la cepilladora.

Para Ilevar el interruptor de la cepilladora a la posici6n ON (encendido), mu_valo hacia arriba. Para Ilevar el interruptor a la posici6n

OFF (apagado), mu_valo hacia abajo.

Cortacircuito

Figura 5 - Interruptor de ON/OFF (Encendido/Apagado) y reajuste del circuito

TRABA DEL INTERRUPTOR

Vea la Figura 6.

Se puede impedir el uso no autorizado de la cepilladora trabando el interruptor. Para trabar el interruptor:

• Gire el interruptor a la posici6n OFF (apagado) y desconecte la cepilladora de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

• Extraiga la Ilave. No se puede Ilevar el interruptor a la posici6n de encendido sin la Ilave.

AVlSO: Si se extrae la Ilave con el interruptor en la posici6n de ON (encendido), se puede Ilevar a la posici6n de apagado pero no a la de encendido.

• Para volver a insertar la Ilave, deslicela al interior de la ranura del interruptor hasta que se acople.

ura 6 - Traba del interru uste del circuito

CORTAClRCUlTO

Vea la Figura 5.

La cepilladora esta equipada con un cortacircuito que sirve de protecci6n al motor. El cortacircuito apaga automaticamente la cepilladora si se consume demasiada corriente.

Si el interruptor se dispara, apague la cepilladora y restaure el circuito presionando el bot6n.

PRECAUCION: Aseg_rese de "apagar" la cepilladora antes de restaurar el cortacircuito para evitar un arranque involuntario de la cepilladora.

PROFUNDIDAD

Vea la Figura 12.

DEL CORTE

El cepillado de espesor se refiere a reducir el tamafio de la madera al espesor deseado al mismo tiempo que se crea una superficie nivelada, paralela al lado opuesto de la tabla. El espesor que producira la cepilladora se indica en la escala

(clave no. 30).

La profundidad del corte se ajusta subiendo o bajando la caja de rodillos mediante la manivela (clave no. 27).

• Cada rotaci6n completa de la manivela mueve la caja de rodillos %".

° La calidad del cepillado de espesor depende del juicio del operador en cuanto a la profundidad del corte.

° La profundidad del corte depende del ancho, la dureza, la humedad, la direcci6n de la veta y de la estructura de la veta de la madera.

° El espesor maximo de la madera que se puede eliminar en una pasada es de 1/8"en piezas de trabajo de hasta 6" de ancho. La pieza de trabajo se debe colocar alejada de la lengfleta central en la caja de rodillos para cortar 1/8".

° El espesor maximo de la madera que se puede eliminar en una pasada es de 1/18"en piezas de trabajo desde 6 hasta 13" de ancho.

PREOAUOION: Se puede efectuar un corte de 8/j, de profundidad en madera dura o blanda de 6-13" de ancho. No obstante, trabajar continuamente con esta configuraci6n puede hacer fallar el motor prematuramente.

• Si se desea obtener el mejor desempefio de la cepilladora, la profundidad del corte debe ser menor de 1/18".

• La tabla se debe cepillar con cortes poco profundos hasta que la pieza tenga un lado nivelado. Una vez Iograda una superficie nivelada, d_ vuelta a la madera y haga lados paralelos.

• Cepille los lados alternos hasta Iograr el espesor deseado.

Cuando se haya alcanzado la mitad de la profundidad total del corte por cada lado, la tabla tendr& un contenido de humedad uniforme y no se combar& al secarse m&s.

• La profundidad del corte debe ser menor si la pieza es m&s ancha.

• Cuando cepille madera dura, haga cortes pequefios o cepillela en extensiones angostas.

• Haga un corte de prueba en la madera y verifique el espesor producido.

• Revise la precisi6n de la prueba de corte antes de trabajar en el producto terminado.

CALIBRADOR DE PROFUNDIDAD

Consulte la Figura 13.

DEL CORTE

En la parte frontal de la caja de rodillos se incluye un calibrador de profundidad del corte accionado por resorte (clave no. 23). El indicador del calibrador de profundidad del corte muestra con exactitud la profundidad del corte por pase si la pieza de trabajo est& colocada debajo del calibrador. AI accionar la manivela, la caja de rodillos baja y el indicador muestra la profundidad de corte hasta %2".

Profundidad de corte maxima recomendada:

Madera dura o blanda de hasta 6" de ancho: ..........

Madera dura o blanda de hasta 6-13" de ancho: .......

1/8"

8/32"

PRECAUCION: Se puede efectuar cortes de 8/3_"de profundidad en maderas duras o blandas de 6-13" de ancho. No obstante, trabajar continuamente con esta configuraci6n puede hacer fallar el motor prematuramente.

Figura 7 - Calibrador Preajustado del Espesor de la Pieza de Trabajo

CALIBRADOR PREAJUSTADO

DE LA PIEZA DE TRABAJO

DEL ESPESOR

Consulte la Figura 7.

En el lado derecho de la cepilladora est& instalada una perilla preajustada que regula el espesor de la pieza de trabajo. Esta perilla le permite al operador preestablecer el espesor de acabado de la pieza de trabajo. Se cuenta con ocho valores de ajuste: 1/8,lh, 1/2,8h, 1, 11/4,14, y 18h.

Por ejemplo: Cepille una pieza de trabajo de 2" de espesor hasta 1W'.

• Suba o baje la caja de rodillos hasta que quede justo encima de la pieza de trabajo.

• Coloque la pieza de trabajo en la mesa de la cepilladora por debajo de la caja de rodillos.

• Gire la perilla hasta que indique 11h".

• Ahora, la cepilladora est& ajustada para detener la caja de rodillos cuando el espesor de la pieza de trabajo sea 1W'.

AVISO: Para hacer que la caja de rodillos se detenga en otra profundidad, raise the rollercase by about 2 rotations Gire la perilla hasta el valor deseado.

EVITE DANAR LAS CUCHILLAS

• La cepilladora de espesor es una maquina de precisi6n para trabajar en madera y s61o se debe usar en madera de buena calidad.

• No cepille tablas sucias; la suciedad y piedras pequefias son abrasivas y desgastan la cuchilla.

• Extraiga los clavos y las grapas. Use la cepilladora para cortar madera solamente.

• Evite los nudos. La madera con una veta atravesada tupida endurece los nudos. Los nudos pueden soltarse y atascar la cuchilla.

PRECAUClON: Todo articulo que se encuentre con las cuchillas de la cepilladora puede ser lanzando con fuerza y ocasionar lesiones.

PREPARAClON DEL TRABAJO

• La cepilladora de espesor funciona mejor cuando la madera tiene por Io menos una superficie plana.

21

• Use la cepilladora de superficie o un cepillo mecanico de banco para crear una superficie plana.

• Las tablas torcidas o muy combadas pueden atascar la cepilladora. Rompa la madera en dos para reducir la magnitud de la comba.

• Se debe alimentar la pieza a la cepilladora en la misma direcci6n de la veta de la madera. Algunas veces la veta cambia de direcci6n a la mitad de la tabla. En dichos casos, si es posible, corte la tabla por la mitad antes de cepillar de modo que la direcci6n de la veta sea la correcta.

PRECAUCION: No cepille una tabla que tenga menos de 15" de Iongitud; la fuerza del corte puede partir la tabla y producir un contragolpe.

ALIMENTACION DE LA PIEZA DE TRABAJO

La cepilladora viene con las cuchillas de cepillado montadas en el portacuchilla y con los rodillos de alimentaci6n y salida ajustados a la altura correcta. La alimentaci6n de la cepilladora es automatica; varia un poco dependiendo del tipo de madera.

• La velocidad de alimentaci6n se refiere a la velocidad a la que avanza la madera a trav6s de la cepilladora.

• Alinee la pieza de trabajo de manera perpendicular a la caja de rodillos de modo que la misma avance a trav6s de la cepilladora de forma recta.

• Suba o baje la caja de rodillos para Iograr la profundidad de corte deseada.

• Permanezca en el lado al cual esta acoplada la manivela.

• La tablas con una Iongitud mayor de 24" deben tener mayor apoyo mediante pedestales de material independientes.

• Coloque la pieza de trabajo con la cara que se va a cepillar en la parte superior.

• Encienda la cepilladora.

• Haga descansar el extremo de la tabla en la mesa y dirfjala hacia el interior de la cepilladora.

• Suavemente, deslice la pieza de trabajo hacia el interior del lado de alimentaci6n de la cepilladora hasta que el rodillo de alimentaci6n haga avanzar la pieza.

• Suelte la pieza de trabajo y permita que la alimentaci6n automatica la haga avanzar.

• No empuje ni tire de la pieza de trabajo. Mu6vase a la parte trasera y reciba la tabla cepillada agarrandola de la misma manera en que la aliment6.

PRECAUCION: Para evitar el riesgo de sufrir lesiones debido a los contragolpes, no se ponga de pie directamente en linea con la parte delantera o trasera de la cepilladora.

• No agarre ninguna parte de la tabla que no haya pasado por el rodillo de salida.

• Repita esta operaci6n con todas las tablas que deban tener el mismo espesor.

• La cepilladora cuenta con rodillos de retorno en la parte superior de modo que el ayudante pueda devolverle la pieza al operador.

AVlSO: El ayudante tiene que tomar las mismas precauciones que el operador.

• La superficie que produce la cepilladora es mas lisa si se usa una profundidad de corte menor.

C6mo evitar el redondeo

• El redondeo se refiere a la depresi6n en cualquier extremo de la tabla producido por una fuerza dispareja en el portacuchilla cuando la pieza entra o sale de la cepilladora.

• El redondeo se produce cuando las tablas no estan correctamente apoyadas o cuando solamente un rodillo de alimentaci6n esta en contacto con la pieza al comienzo o final del corte.

° Para evitar el redondeo, empuje suavemente la tabla hacia arriba al tiempo que la alimenta hasta que el rodillo de salida la haga avanzar.

° Mu6vase a la parte trasera y reciba la tabla cepillada empujandola suavemente hacia arriba cuando el rodillo de alimentaci6n deje de hacer contacto con la tabla.

• Cuando cepille mas de una tabla del mismo espesor haga que las tablas se topen entre si para evitar el redondeo.

• El redondeo es mas evidente cuando se hacen cortes mas profundos.

° Alimente el trabajo en la direcci6n de la veta. La madera que se alimenta en contra de la veta tendra bordes picados y astillados.

° Asegt_rela en su posici6n apretando la cinta.

La cepilladora funciona mejor si se mantiene en buen estado y ajustada adecuadamente.

VERIFIQUE QUE NO ESTEN DESGASTADAS

CUCHILLAS

LAS

• El estado de las cuchillas afecta la precisi6n del corte.

Preste atenci6n a la calidad del corte que produce la cepilladora para verificar el estado de las cuchillas.

• Las hojas desafiladas rasgan, en vez de cortar, las fibras de madera y dan una apariencia fibrosa.

• La veta se eleva si las cuchillas desafiladas golpean madera de densidad variable. Si las cuchillas tienen picaduras, se elevan ademas los bordes.

• Las cuchillas en esta cepilladora son reversibles. Las cuchillas deben siempre invertirse o reemplazarse en conjuntos que hagan juego. Se recomienda contar con un conjunto de cuchillas de reemplazo.

CAMBIO DE LAS CUCHILLAS

Vea la Figuras 8-10, las paginas 22 y 23.

ADVERTENCIA: Lleve siempre el interruptor de la cepilladora a la posici6n OFF (apagado) y descon6ctela de la fuente de alimentaci6n antes de iniciar cualquier tarea de mantenimiento.

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos de mariposa del canal para polvo y el cap6, a un lado de la cepilladora.

Retire el canal para polvo y el cap&

• Afloje, pero no extraiga, los ocho tornillos ubicados en la cu5a. Afloje los tornillos Io suficiente para que la cu5a se suelte y permita la remoci6n de la cuchilla.

• Inserte la herramienta de remoci6n de imanes de la cuchilla debajo del centro de la cu5a.

• Levante la herramienta hasta que la cuchilla quede separada de los pasadores y luego extraiga la cuchilla.

AVISO: El iman se pueden separar facilmente de la cuba inclinandolos hacia la izquierda o derecha.

PRECAUCION: Los bordes de la cuchilla estan extremadamente afilados. Mantenga los dedos alejados de la cuchillas en todo momento.

• La cuchilla esta ubicada en su posici6n mediante dos pasadores.

AJUSTE DEL NIVEL DE LA MESA

Vea las Figuras 12 y 13, paginas 12 y 14.

La cepilladora producira una profundidad de corte dispareja

(corte ahusado) si la caja de rodillos (Fig. 13, Clave No. 31) no esta paralela a la base (Fig. 12, Clave No. 34). Para restaurar el paralelismo de la caja de rodillos a la base:

• Vali_ndose de una pieza de prueba, mida la altura del adaptador c6nico.

• Apague la cepilladora y desconecte de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

23

• Pliegue las tablas de extensi6n delantera y trasera.

• Apoye cuidadosamente la cepilladora sobre su lado de modo que el lado inferior de la base quede expuesto.

• Aplique un alicate de prensa de tornillo (no incluido) al lado izquierdo del eje (Fig. 12, Clave No. 52), al lado del engranaje (Fig. 12, Clave No. 56).

• Extraiga el tornillo (Fig. 12, Clave No. 59) y desengrane el engranaje derecho del engranaje del tornillo de elevaci6n.

• Gire lentamente la manivela (Fig. 12, Clave No. 27) para elevar o bajar la caja de rodillos. La caja de rodillos se mover& 0.006" con cada vuelta de un diente del engranaje. Mueva la caja de rodillos la distancia necesaria para descentrar el adaptador c6nico.

• Vuelva a engranar el engranaje derecho y el engranaje del tornillo de elevaci6n, y a colocar el anillo para asegurarlos.

• Suelte y retire el alicate de prensa de tornillo.

• Coloque de nuevo la cepilladora sobre su base.

• Haga un corte de prueba para verificar el ajuste.

REEMPLAZO DE LA CORREA EN V

Vea las Figuras 12 y 13, p&ginas 12 y 14.

La tensi6n incorrecta de la correa en V (Fig. 13, Clave No. 53) hara que se deslice de la polea del motor (Fig. 13, Clave No.

55) o de la polea impulsora (Figura 13, Clave No. 52). Se deben reemplazar las correas que est_n flojas. Para reemplazar la correa en V:

• Apague la cepilladora y desenchSfela de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos en la tapa derecha (Fig. 12,

Clave No. 28). Retire el panel (Fig. 12, Clave No. 29).

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos (Fig. 13, Clave No. 28) en la protecci6n de la correa (Fig. 13, Clave No. 27). Retire la protecci6n de la correa.

• Afloje el perno (Fig.13, Clave No. 39) para aflojar el conjunto del motor.

• Retire la correa usada haci_ndola pasar alternadamente por el motor y las poleas impulsoras. Empuje el motor hacia abajo y tire de la correa hacia fuera a la vez que gira las poleas simult&neamente.

• Coloque la correa nueva. Haga pasar la correa por las poleas de manera inversa a como cuando la extrajo.

• AsegSrese que la correa est_ asentada completamente en las ranuras de tanto la polea del motor como de la impulsora.

• Apalanque el motor hacia arriba para aplicar tensi6n a la correa. Asegure en posici6n apretando el perno (Fig. 13,

Clave No. 39).

• Vuelva a colocar la protecci6n de la correa y los tornillos

(Fig. 13, Claves No. 27 y 28).

• Vuelva a colocar y asegurar el panel derecho.

LUBRICAClON

• Los rodamientos del portacuchilla y del motor vienen sellados y no necesitan lubricaci6n.

• Los engranajes y los tornillos de elevaci6n deben limpiarse, para eliminar los residuos, y engrasarse.

LIMPIEZA DE LA CEPILLADORA

• Mantenga la cepilladora sin astillas de madera, polvo, suciedad y residuos.

• Despu_s de 10 horas de funcionamiento, se debe retirar de las cadenas y engranajes las astillas de madera, el polvo y la grasa vieja.

• Use grasa de rodamientos automotrices para lubricar todas las cadenas y engranajes. AsegSrese que todas as cadenas y engranajes tengan suficiente grasa.
