The maximum depth for a moulding cut in soft wood is

⁄4" deep. However, the harder the wood or the more

knots it has, the shallower the cut, and the slower the

feed rate must be.

The basic steps of operating the machine as a moulder

are as follows:

(. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER!

2. Review the Workpiece Inspection list on Page 23

and the AVOIDING KICKBACK warning on this page.

3. Review Moulding Do's and Don'ts on Page 26, and

take the appropriate safety measures.

4. Adjust the guide rails against the sides of the

workpiece so the workpiece is guided into the planer

blades without binding, then tighten the rail lock

levers.

5. If you have not already done so, adjust the feed roll-

ers and spring tension as outlined in the Feed Roller

Height and Spring Tension section on Page 21.

6. Loosen the headstock lock lever, and use the

handwheel (Figure 42) to adjust the headstock down

far enough to make a full pass.

7. Put on heavy leather gloves and rotate the

cutterhead manually to verify that the knives do not

contact the table or the guide rails.

8. PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES, EAR PROTECTION, AND A

RESPIRATOR.

9. Turn the feed speed control dial to a slow speed and

start the machine. Finding the best feed rate will be

a process of trial-and-error based on finding a bal-

ance between the wood type, moulding knife profile,

and the quality of finish desired.

10. Stand to the side of the table, place the workpiece

on the table, and slowly feed it into the machine

until the feed roller begins to pull the workpiece.

AVOIDING KICKBACK!

• Always stand to one side of the

machine.

• Always check and reset outfeed

roller height after changing knives.

• Always plane WITH the grain

direction of the wood. Never plain

cross-grain or end-grain.

• Do not make a second pass after

cutting the initial profile. The first

pass has full roller-to-workpiece

contact, but on the second pass,

both the infeed and outfeed rollers

have minimum contact and the

workpiece may be ejected.

• Use roller stands to support long

workpieces.

• Carefully inspect all stock to make

sure it is free of large knots and

foreign objects.
