SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS
Extension Wings
Your planer is equipped with front and rear exten-
sion wings. Each wing folds up for machine mobil-
ity and down for machine operation. To check
alignment, lay a straightedge across the bed and
wings. See Figure 6.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
1. Use the 10mm wrench and loosen the lock-
ing nuts and set bolts underneath each
extension wing.
2. Hold a straightedge across the bed and
wing and turn the setscrews so the end of
the wing moves back into the same plane
as the planer bed.
3. Move the straightedge to the other side of
the bed and repeat step two. Re-check to
ensure consistency from side to side.
Without turning the set bolts, tighten the
lock nuts.
4. To adjust the second wing, repeat steps
one through three above.
Feed Rollers
The infeed and outfeed rollers are made of high
quality rubber and provide effective gripping pres-
sure during operation. The delivery speed is 26
FPM (8 MPM).The infeed and outfeed roller pres-
sure was pre-set at the factory and requires no
adjustment.
Make sure the G1017 is unplugged or dis-
connected from the power source and mov-
ing parts have come to a complete stop
before investigating any problems or per-
forming any maintenance or adjustments.
Serious personal injury may occur.
The cutterhead knives on the G1017 planer
are extremely sharp. Merely brushing your
finger along the edge can result in a severe
cut.Take extreme caution when doing any of
the adjustments involving the cutterhead
knives. Wear thick gloves anytime it is nec-
essary to manually rotate the cutterhead
assembly.
