set the table to the approximate thickness of
your test lumber. Measure the lumber with
calipers to determine its exact thickness.
2. Move the table to

the planer.

turn the handwheel one full rotation and run
the board through once more. turn the board
over and repeat.

Anti-Kickback fingers

the Model g1033X provides an anti-kickback
system as a safety feature. the anti-kickback
fingers hang from a rod suspended across the
cutterhead casting. the anti-kickback fingers
should be inspected regularly.
Check the fingers (figure 39) to ensure that they
swing freely and easily. if the fingers do not swing
freely and easily, clean them with a wood resin
solvent.
figure 39. Anti-kickback fingers.
Proper operation of the anti-kickback fin-
gers is essential for the safe operation of
this machine. failure to ensure that they
are working properly could result in serious
operator injury.
do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-
kickback fingers. oil or grease will attract dust,
restricting the free movement of the fingers.
