SAFETY  
READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL  
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL  
result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD  
result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY  
result in minor or moderate injury.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper  
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage  
to the machinery.  
NOTICE  
Standard Safety Instructions  
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious  
injury hazards to untrained users.  
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.  
3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES  
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.  
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause  
permanent hearing damage.  
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may  
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip  
footwear.  
6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.  
Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.  
7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make  
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.  
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work  
area.  
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

W1747 20" Planer  
10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to  
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.  
11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or  
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.  
12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.  
13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-  
heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords  
over 50 feet without consulting a qualified electrician.  
14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is  
in OFF position before reconnecting.  
15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.  
16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.  
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting  
wrenches before turning machinery ON.  
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of  
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine  
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.  
19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.  
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.  
20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.  
21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured  
workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.  
22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-  
tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."  
24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.  
25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and  
animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you  
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety Instructions for Planers  
READ and understand this  
entire instruction manual  
before using this machine.  
Serious personal injury  
may occur if safety and  
operational information is  
not understood and fol-  
lowed. DO NOT risk your  
safety by not reading!  
USE this and other machinery with caution  
and respect. Always consider safety first,  
as it applies to your individual working  
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can  
be complete—every shop environment is  
different. Failure to follow guidelines could  
result in serious personal injury, damage  
to equipment or poor work results.  
1. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY: The infeed roller is designed to pull material into the cutterhead.  
Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation to pre-  
vent serious injury.  
2. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING: The workpiece may kick out during operation. To avoid get-  
ting hit, stand to the side of the planer during the entire operation.  
3. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL: Planing materials not designed for this planer creates a hazard for  
yourself and the machine. Only plane natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF,  
plywood, laminates, or other synthetic or man-made products.  
4. GRAIN DIRECTION: Planing across the grain is hard on the planer and may cause the workpiece to  
kick out. Always plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain.  
5. CLEAN STOCK: Planing stock with nails, staples, or loose knots MAY cause debris to kick out at  
the operator and WILL damage your cutters when they contact the cutterhead. Always thoroughly  
inspect and prepare stock to avoid these hazards.  
6. MACHINE LIMITATIONS: The planer may kick out a workpiece at you or you can damage it if it is  
pushed beyond these limits:  
• Maximum Depth of Cut: 1/8  
• Minimum Board Length: 7"  
"
• Minimum Board Thickness: 1/4  
"
• Maximum # of Boards at One Time: 1  
7. LOOKING INSIDE PLANER: Wood chips fly around inside the planer at a high rate of speed. DO  
NOT look inside the planer or remove guards/covers during operation.  
8. REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES: Attempting to remove jammed workpieces while the planer is  
running may cause serious injury to the operator. Always stop the planer and disconnect power  
before removing jams.  
9. DULL/DAMAGED CUTTERS: The planer may kick out a workpiece at the operator or give poor fin-  
ish results if it is operated with dull or damaged cutters.  
10. UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS: When connected to power, the planer can be accidentally  
turned ON. Always disconnect power when servicing or adjusting the components of the planer.

W1747 20" Planer  
ELECTRICAL  
220V Operation  
The Model W1747 operates at 220V. Always connect this  
machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground,  
using the recommended circuit size listed at the bottom  
of this page.  
Electrocution or severe shock could  
occur if machine is not grounded.  
Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper-  
age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure  
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about  
the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your  
machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz-  
ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.  
Extension Cords  
We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V  
operation. Instead, hard wire the machine directly to a  
power panel that is equipped with a manual shutoff lever  
lever and that can be locked in the OFF position.  
Replacing an existing circuit breaker  
with one rated for higher amperage  
may result in a fire. Get help from an  
electrician if your circuit will be over-  
loaded by the machine.  
Grounding  
This machine must be grounded! Hardwire this machine  
into a power supply circuit that contains a ground cir-  
cuit. If you have any questions about correct electrical  
installation, contact a qualified electrician for assistance  
to make sure all connections are safe and adhere to  
required electrical codes.

MAKE your shop “child safe." Ensure  
that your workplace is inaccessible to  
youngsters by closing and locking all  
entrances when you are away. NEVER  
allow untrained visitors in your shop  
when assembling, adjusting or operat-  
ing equipment.  
If any parts are missing, examine the packaging for the  
missing parts. For any missing parts, find the part num-  
ber in the back of this manual and contact Woodstock  
International, Inc. at (360) 734-3482 or at tech-  
Machine Placement  
Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load in  
a small footprint. Some floors may require additional  
bracing to support both machine and operator.  
Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed  
through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands,  
work tables or other machinery when establishing a  
location for your planer.  
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to  
eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.  
Figure 3. Example of planer being lifted  
using forklift.  
Lifting Planer  
The cabinet stand on the Model W1747 is equipped with  
lifting bars (see Page 5) to lift and place the planer.  
When lifting the planer with a forklift, we recommend  
placing shop rags or cardboard between the forks and  
cabinet base so you do not scratch the paint.  
Figure 3 shows an example of a typical planer with lifting  
bars being lifted correctly with a forklift.  
USE power lifting equipment to  
lift this planer. Otherwise, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.

W1747 20" Planer  
Cleaning Machine  
The table and other unpainted parts of your planer are  
coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corro-  
sion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent  
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-  
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if  
you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you  
will ruin the finish.  
These items are coated and must be cleaned:  
NEVER use gasoline or other petroleum-  
based solvents to clean with. Most have  
low flash points, which make them  
extremely flammable. A risk of explosion  
and burning exists if these products are  
used. Serious personal injury may occur  
if this warning is ignored!  
1. Cutterhead  
2. Table  
3. Feed Rollers  
4. Extension Wings and Wing Mounting Surfaces  
ALWAYS work in well-ventilated areas far from  
possible ignition sources when using solvents to  
clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when  
inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of  
waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create  
fire or environmental hazards.

Gearbox Oil Level  
Before starting your machine for the first time, make  
sure the gearbox has oil. The proper oil level is just even  
with the bottom of the fill plug hole. The gearbox uses  
80W-90W automotive grade gear oil.  
To check the gearbox oil level, do these steps:  
1. Wipe the outside of the fill plug clean.  
2. Using a 14mm wrench or socket, remove the gear-  
box fill plug (Figure 8).  
3. Using the short end of a CLEAN 6mm hex wrench,  
dip it inside the fill hole and remove it. (Do not drop  
the wrench into the gearbox!)  
Figure 8. Gearbox fill plug location.  
— If the end of the hex wrench is coated with oil,  
then the gearbox oil level is okay. Replace the fill  
plug and continue with set up.  
— If the end of the hex wrench is not coated with  
oil, then fill the gearbox with 80-90W gear oil  
until the oil reaches the top of the fill plug.  
Note: Replace the gearbox oil after the first 20  
hours of operation. This is a normal break-in pro-  
cedure.  
Connecting to Power  
Now is the time to connect your planer to the power  
source. Make sure you have read and followed precautions  
listed on Page 9, before doing so.  
Knife Setting Gauge  
Assemble the knife setting gauge as shown in Figure 9.

Adjustments  
4. Press the green button to turn the machine ON. The  
planer should run smoothly with little or no vibra-  
tion.  
For your convenience, the adjustments  
listed below have been performed at the  
factory and no further setup is required to  
operate your machine.  
— If you suspect any problems, immediately turn  
the planer OFF by pushing the red STOP button.  
Refer to Page 40 to troubleshoot/fix any problems  
before starting the planer again.  
However, because of the many variables  
involved with shipping, some of these  
adjustments may need to be repeated  
to ensure optimum cutting results. Keep  
this in mind as you start to use your new  
planer.  
— If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is not  
readily apparent, contact our technical support  
for help at (360) 734-3482 or contact us online at  
Step-by-step instructions for these adjust-  
ments can be found in the SERVICE sec-  
tion.  
Tighten V-Belts  
The final step in the set up process must be done after  
approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16  
hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley  
grooves. After this 16 hours, the V-belts must be ten-  
sioned or your belts will slip and burn out. Refer to Page  
24 when you are ready to perform this important adjust-  
ment.

W1747 20" Planer  
OPERATIONS  
General  
The Model W1747 will perform many types of operations  
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these  
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor-  
rectly.  
The instructions in this section are written with the under-  
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge  
and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you  
are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,  
stop using the machine!  
READ and understand this entire instruc-  
tion manual before using this machine.  
Serious personal injury may occur if  
safety and operational information is not  
understood and followed. DO NOT risk  
your safety by not reading!  
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-  
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training  
from an experienced planer operator before performing  
any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should  
come first!  
Basic Operation  
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears  
could result from using this machine  
without proper protective gear. Always  
wear safety glasses, a respirator, and  
hearing protection when operating this  
machine.  
The W1747 table moves approximately 1/16" with one  
turn of the handwheel.  
The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:  
1. Put on safety glasses, respirator, and ear muffs.  
2. Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane  
the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat—having the  
face flat will ensure that it sits flat on the planer  
table during operation.  
3. Adjust the table height slightly lower than your  
workpiece to ensure the first cut is as light as pos-  
sible (approximately 1/32"–1/16"). This cut removes  
any excessive high spots.  
4. Start the planer.  
5. Making sure not to stand directly in front or behind  
the workpiece to avoid kickback injury, place the  
flat side of the board down on the table, and feed  
the workpiece through the planer.  
OFF  
DO NOT investigate problems or adjust  
the planer while it is running. Wait  
until the machine is turned OFF and  
all working parts have come to a  
complete stop before proceeding!  
— If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer,  
turn the planer OFF immediately, allow it to  
come to a complete stop, remove the workpiece,  
and repeat Steps 3–5.

6. Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust the  
table height as necessary to take a lighter or heavier  
pass, depending on your needs. For most wood  
types, 1/16" per pass is a good cutting depth.  
Note: Any time you switch directions with the  
handwheel, there will be a small amount of back-  
lash—so the first crank of the handwheel after  
switching directions will be slightly less than 1/16".  
However, as long as you move the handwheel in the  
same direction during operation, backlash will not  
be a factor.  
Operation Tips  
Inspect lumber for defects, warping, cupping, twist-  
ing, and for foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded  
gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the qual-  
ity of your lumber, do not use it. Remember, wood  
stacked on a concrete floor can have small pieces of  
stone or concrete pressed into the surface.  
Use the full width of the planer. Alternate between  
the left, the right, and the middle when feeding lum-  
ber into the planer. Your cutters will remain sharp  
much longer.  
Scrape all glue off of joined boards before planing.  
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. No wood composites  
(OSB, MDF, particle board, etc.).  
Plane wood with the grain. Never feed end-cut or  
end-grained lumber into your planer.  
Do not use boards with loose or large knots, splits,  
crossgrain or other obvious blemishes or defects.  
They can damage the machine and pose the possibil-  
ity of operator injury.  
Keep your work area clear.  
When making multiple passes through the planer on  
long stock, use the stock return rollers on the top of  
the machine to move the material back to the infeed  
side of the machine.  
Avoid planing wood with a high water content. Wood  
with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed  
to rain or snow, will plane poorly and cause excessive  
wear to the cutters and motor. Excess moisture can  
also hasten rust and corrosion.

W1747 20" Planer  
Feed Speed  
The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock through  
the planer while keeping boards flat and providing a con-  
sistent rate of movement.  
 
The power feed features high/low feed rates. Use the  
different feed rates as stated below:  
Low Feed Rate .............................Dimensioning Pass  
High Feed Rate.................................. Finishing Pass  
Figure 10 illustrates the three different positions of the  
feed control knob. Moving the knob toward the machine  
(Position A) produces the high feed speed (23 FPM) mov-  
ing away from the machine (Position C) produces the low  
speed (18 FPM) and moving the knob to the center posi-  
tion (Position B) places the gearbox in neutral.  
Figure 10. Feed control knob positions.  
The speed should only be changed when the machine is  
running.  
NOTICE  
Only change the speeds when the planer is running,  
but DO NOT attempt to change speeds during any  
cutting operations or damage to the gearbox will  
result.

Bed Rollers  
Adjustment Height Range:  
0.002"–0.020"  
The height of the bed rollers will vary, depending on the  
type of material you intend to plane, but as a general  
rule keep the roller height within 0.002"–0.020" above the  
table (Figure 27). When planing rough stock, set the roll-  
ers high to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed.  
When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to help  
minimize snipe.  
���  
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment pro-  
cess quicker and easier, we recommend using a W1218  
Rotacator (see Page 21) to gauge the bed roller height  
from the table. If a Rotacator is not available, a straight-  
edge and feeler gauges can be used, but extra care must  
be taken to achieve satisfactory results.  
Figure 11. Bed roller height range.  
Note: Misaligned bed rollers can cause workpiece chatter,  
a washboard surface, uneven workpiece feeding, or bind-  
ing.  
To adjust the bed rollers, do these steps:

side shown).  
4. Raise or lower the rollers by rotating the roller  
adjusters to reach your desired height.  
5. Verify both sides of the bed roller are at the same  
height in relation with each other and to the table  
surface, and lock them in position with the locking  
set screws.  
6. Double check the roller heights to make sure they  
did not move when you locked them (if they did,  
repeat the procedure).

V-Belts  
V-belt removal and replacement is simply a matter of  
loosening the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys,  
replacing them with new belts, then retensioning them.  
OFF  
Always replace V-belts with a matched set of 3 belts, or  
belt tension may not be even among the 3 belts and may  
cause premature belt failure.  
To adjust/replace the V-belts, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!  
2. Open the motor access panel and V-belt cover.  
3. Using a 19mm wrench, loosen the fasteners on the  
tension rods shown in Figure 13.  
Figure 13. Fasteners needed to be  
loosened for V-belt replacement.  
4. Lift the motor up and slide the V-belts off of the  
pulleys.  
5. Slide the new belts onto the pulley, lower the  
motor, and tighten the fasteners loosened in Step 3.  
6. Close the V-belt cover and motor access panel.  
Note: The correct tension for the V-belts is 14" deflection  
when pushed in the center with moderate pressure. After  
the first 16 hours of belt life, retension them, as they will  
stretch and seat during this time.

Lubrication  
This planer uses sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings  
that require no lubrication.  
The following is a list of parts that need lubrication:  
Column  
Lead screw  
Columns/Lead Screws: The four columns should be lubri-  
cated weekly with SAE 30W oil. Unfasten dust covers to  
gain access. The four lead screws (Figure 14) should be  
lubricated with general purpose grease once a month.  
Worm Gear: The worm gear should be inspected monthly  
and lubricated with general purpose grease when need-  
ed. Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts dia-  
gram on Page 44 for location.  
Figure 14. Columns and lead screws  
(Shown with cover removed).  
Chain: The table height adjustment chain (see Figure 21  
on Page 28) should be inspected monthly and lubricated  
with general purpose grease when needed.  
OFF  
Gear Box: Gear box oil should be changed after the first  
20 hours of operation (see Figure 15). Inspect levels  
periodically and change yearly. Replace gear oil more fre-  
quently under heavy use. See Page 15 for instructions on  
adding oil.  
Fill Plug  
Replace with 80W-90W gear oil. Fill until oil reaches the  
top of the filler plug port for correct oil level.  
Drain Plug  
Drive Chain: The drive chain should be inspected and  
lubricated monthly. Check sprocket, chain and cotter pin  
during inspection. Use a general purpose grease. Some  
chains will have master links instead of cotter pins.  
Figure 15. Gearbox oil drain/fill locations.  
Feed Rollers: Regular lubrication of feed rollers is crucial  
to the operation of your planer. Lubricate every 30 hours  
of use. Each end of each power feed roller has an oiling  
port located on the top of the headstock (Figure 16).  
Apply SAE 30W oil, making sure that the lubricant pen-  
etrates the bearing.

MAKE SURE that your machine is discon-  
nected during all service procedures!  
If this warning is ignored, serious per-  
sonal injury may occur.  
Inspecting Knives  
The Model W1747 Planer has a four-knife cutterhead.  
Because of normal use and wear, the knives must be  
periodically sharpened, replaced or adjusted. Adjustment  
from the factory must also be checked prior to use due to  
possible movement during shipment.  
These Points Must  
All Touch Evenly  
The height of the knives can be easily and quickly  
inspected with a knife setting gauge or Planer Pal® (Model  
W1216). This inspection will ensure that the knives are  
protruding equally and are parallel with the cutterhead  
body.  
To inspect the knives, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!  
2. Remove the top cover and dust port.  
Middle Pad  
3. Place a knife gauge on the cutterhead, directly over  
a knife, as shown in Figure 17.  
Figure 17. Gauge positioned over  
cutterhead knife.  
4. Carefully inspect how the gauge touches the  
cutterhead and the knife.  
— If both outside legs of the gauge sit firmly on the  
cutterhead and the middle pad just touches the  
knife, then that knife is protruding the correct  
amount (.040"). (Repeat this inspection with the  
other knives.)  
— If the gauge sits firmly on the cutterhead and the  
knife does not contact the middle pad, or if the  
knife contacts the middle pad but the feet rock,  
then reset that knife. (Repeat this inspection with  
the other knives before resetting.)

Setting/Replacing Knives  
Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper  
operation of the planer and is very important in keeping  
the knives sharp. If one knife protrudes higher than the  
others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull  
much faster than the others.  
The included knife gauge is designed to set the knives  
approximately 0.040" higher than the cutterhead. Planer  
Pal® (Model W1216) can also be used to set the knives.  
This planer comes with both jack screws and springs to  
provide you with two options for cutterhead adjustments  
(see Figure 18).  
Note: Only one of these options is needed to set the  
knives—see Step 5 for clarification.  
Figure 18. Cutterhead profile diagram.  
To set the knives, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER  
SOURCE!  
2. Remove the top cover and dust port.  
3. Remove the belt guard to expose the cutterhead  
pulley.  
4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley to give you good  
access to one of the knives.  
Planer knives are dangerous and may cause personal  
injury. To reduce the risk of beng injured, wear  
leather gloves when handling the knives in the fol-  
lowing steps.  
5. Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the cutterhead gib  
bolts, starting in the middle, and alternating back  
and forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not  
falling out.  
Note: If this is the first time you are setting  
the knives, remove the gib and knife from the  
cutterhead. The cutterhead comes with both springs  
and jack screws installed. Decide which adjust-  
ment option you are going to use. If you decide to  
use the jack screws, remove the springs from the  
cutterhead. If you decide to use the springs, you  
can just thread the jack screws completely into the  
cutterhead so they will not get lost. Replace the gib  
and knife.

7. Jack Screws—Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack  
screws through the access holes in the cutterhead  
(Figure 19) and rotate the jack screws to raise or  
lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it  
will barely touch the middle pad of the knife setting  
gauge. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold  
the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7 with the rest of  
the knives.  
Figure 19. Jack screw access hole.  
Springs—Push the knife down with the gauge so that  
the knife edge touches the middle pad of the gauge.  
Hold the gauge down and tighten the gib bolts just  
tight enough to hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps  
5-7 with the rest of the knives.

9. Final tighten each gib bolt, then reinstall the top  
cover, dust port and bolt guard.  
Chain Tension  
The chain drive transfers movement from the handwheel  
to elevate the table. The chain drive can be adjusted to  
remove slack if the chain stretches over time or is loos-  
ened during table leveling procedures.

Table Parallelism  
Table parallelism is critical to the operation of the  
machine. As such, it is essential that the table is parallel  
with the cutterhead (within 0.002") from side-to-side, as  
illustrated in Figure 22.  
��  
 
���  
���  
Maximum Allowable Tolerances:  
Cutterhead to Table Side-to-Side..................... 0.002"  
Headstock to Table Front/Back ....................... 0.020"  
�  
 
 
�  
How the table sits in relation to the headstock from  
front-to-back is also important (see Figure 23). Because  
the feed rollers, pressure bar, and chip breaker will  
be adjusted off the table position, the tolerances on  
the front-to-back positioning are not as critical as the  
cutterhead/table side-to-side positioning. Therefore, the  
maximum allowable tolerance for the front-to-back paral-  
lelism is not more than 0.020".  
���  
���  
Figure 22. Side-to-side parallelism of  
table and cutterhead.  
Table Parallelism Inspection  
 
The easiest way to determine if your headstock has a  
parallelism problem is to plane a workpiece and measure  
the thickness in multiple locations. If the workpiece is  
tapered from left-to-right or from front-to-back, then par-  
allelism may be a problem.  
���  
 
���  
 
 
�  
�  
Use your Rotacator to further inspect the table parallel-  
ism. If you do not have a Rotacator, a wood block and  
feeler gauges may be used, but extra care must be taken  
to ensure accuracy. If the table is not within the maxi-  
mum allowable tolerances, it must be adjusted.  
���  
���  
Figure 23. Front-to-back parallelism.  
Table Parallelism Adjustments  
The table is adjusted by turning the chain sprockets  
underneath the table for movements over 0.016" or by  
adjusting how the table is mounted on the columns for  
movements under 0.016".  
NOTICE  
When making adjustments, tighten fasteners after  
each step to ensure the accuracy of your tests.  
When adjusting the chain sprockets, keep in mind  
that if the chain becomes too loose, it will fall off of  
all the sprockets. Returning it to its proper location  
will be frustrating and time consuming.

To adjust the table parallelism, do these steps:  
OFF  
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!  
2. Remove the motor access panel and locate the chain  
on the underside of the table.  
3. Loosen the lock bolts and idler sprocket (see Chain  
Tension instructions on Page 28).  
4. Mark the location of one tooth in the sprocket that  
you are adjusting.  
5. Move the chain away from only the sprocket you  
want to adjust so only that sprocket can be turned  
independent of the chain.  
Figure 24. Table micro-adjustment  
screws.  
Note: If the left side of the table is too high, the  
left two sprockets will need to be adjusted. Each  
tooth on the sprocket represents 0.016" of vertical  
movement as the cogs are turned. Make sure, as you  
turn the sprockets, to keep an accurate tooth count  
to ensure that the table is adjusted equally.  
6. Carefully turn the sprocket (clockwise to raise the  
table; counterclockwise to lower the table) just  
enough to position the next tooth at the marked  
location, then fit the chain around sprocket again.  
7. Repeat Steps 4–6 with each sprocket that needs to  
be adjusted until the table-to-cutterhead clearance  
is within 0.016" from one side to the other.  
8. Make sure the chain is properly fitted on the sprock-  
ets, and tighten the idler sprocket and lock bolts.  
9. Micro-adjust the table position by loosening the cap  
screws (Figure 24) using a 6mm wrench, and lifting  
the table upward or downward until the table and  
cutterhead are in alignment.  
Note: This process may require adjusting the col-  
umns on both the left and right hand sides until you  
find the correct combination.  
10. Replace the motor access panel.

W1747 20" Planer  
To adjust the height of the infeed and outfeed rollers,  
chip breaker and pressure bar using wood blocks and a  
feeler gauge, do these steps:  
 
1. Build the wood blocks by cutting a straight 6' long  
2x4 in half.  
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even height is  
critical to the accuracy of your overall adjustments.  
For best results, remove board warpage by squaring  
the 2x4 with a jointer and table saw before cutting  
in half.  
2. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!  
3. Lower the bed rollers below the table.  
Figure 30. Wood blocks on table.  
4. Place one wood block along the left side of the  
table, and place the other wood block along the  
right side of the table, as illustrated in Figure 30.  
5. Remove the dust port, top cover, and belt cover.  
6. Adjust the table and use the feeler gauge until you  
have a 0.040" gap between the edge of a knife at  
bottom dead center (find by rocking cutterhead pul-  
ley) and the wood blocks.  
7. Lock the table height in place, as the wood blocks  
will now be your reference points for the rest of the  
adjustments.  
8. Loosen the infeed roller adjustment jam nuts (Figure  
32) and turn the adjustment set screws on each end  
to raise the feed roller above the wood block (if nec-  
essary), then bring it back down so it just touches  
the wood block on both sides.  
9. Lock the infeed roller adjustment set screws in place  
with the jam nuts, making sure they do not move  
while tightening.  
10. Without moving the table, adjust the chip breaker  
(Figure 29), pressure bar (Figure 28), and outfeed  
roller (Figure 27) in the same manner, using the  
wood blocks as your reference point.  
11. When you are finished with the adjustments, replace  
the top cover, dust port, and belt cover.

Spring Tension  
Roller spring tension must be adjusted so that roller pres-  
sure is uniform. Roller spring tension will vary, depending  
on the type of wood you plane. This is usually deter-  
mined from trial-and-error.  
Tension Screws  
#1 - #3 Adjust to 18  
"
Generally speaking, less spring tension is more forgiv-  
ing on workpieces. Therefore, if you primarily plane  
milled lumber with relatively consistent surfaces, you  
can get away with having less spring tension. Likewise, if  
you primarily plane rough lumber with inconsistent sur-  
face heights, more spring tension is a must to keep the  
workpiece feeding through the planer without stopping.  
Tension Screw  
#4 Adjust to 516"  
If workpieces regularly stop feeding during operation, it  
may be a sign of weak spring tension.  
Figure 31. Tension screw locations and  
adjustments.  
To adjust roller spring tension, do these steps:  
1. Locate the four tension screws located on the top of  
the planer, as shown in Figure 31.  
2. Using a 6mm hex wrench, adjust tension screws #1–  
#3 so that they protrude 18" above the headstock.  
3. Adjust tension screw #4 so that it protrudes 516"  
above the headstock.

2. Remove the dust port and top cover.  
3. Loosen the chip deflector mounting bolts (see

4. Make sure the deflector is beveled toward the  
cutterhead. Move the deflector until the edge is the  
correct distance (given above) from the closest knife  
5. Rotate the cutterhead to ensure clearance by turn-  
ing the cutterhead pulley.  
6. Re-tighten the mounting bolts and return the top  
cover and dust port to the planer.  
Scale Calibration  
The scale can be adjusted for accuracy. The machine will  
need to be run to make proper adjustments.  
Figure 33. Depth scale adjustment screws.  
To calibrate the scale, do these steps:  
1. 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 116" under the thickness of your  
lumber and feed your test board through the planer.  
3. Turn the handwheel one full rotation and run the  
board through once more. Turn the board over and  
repeat.  
4. Re-measure the board and compare your results  
with the scale. If there is a discrepancy, loosen the  
screws (see Figure 33) and adjust as necessary.

Anti-Kickback Fingers  
The Model W1747 provides an anti-kickback system as a  
safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod  
suspended across the cutter headstock. The anti-kickback  
fingers should be inspected regularly.  
Check the fingers (Figure 34) to ensure that they swing  
freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and  
easily, clean them with a wood resin solvent.  
Proper operation of the anti-kickback fingers is essen-  
tial for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to  
ensure that they are working properly could result in  
serious operator injury.  
Figure 34. Anti-kickback fingers.  
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.

Pulley Alignment  
Proper pulley alignment (see Figure 35) prevents pre-  
mature belt wear. The pulleys are properly aligned when  
they are parallel and in the same plane as each other.  
Use a straightedge on the edge of the pulleys to judge  
alignment.  
OFF  
Should you find that the pulleys are out of alignment,  
do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER  
SOURCE!  
2. Remove the motor access panel, the V-belt cover,  
and loosen the belt tension (Page 24).  
Figure 35. Checking belt alignment.  
3. Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the motor mount fas-  
teners shown in Figure 36 just enough to allow the  
motor to be repositioned.  
4. Slide the motor as required to align the pulleys.  
5. Re-tighten the motor mount fasteners carefully to  
assure that the tightening process does not move  
the motor.  
6. Re-tension the V-belts.  
7. Replace the belt cover and motor access panel.
