Additional Safety for Planers

INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Be aware of correct operation and potential safety hazards. Read and understand

this entire manual before starting the planer.

INFEED CLEARANCE: The infeed roller is always spinning while machine is in operation. Keep hands, cloth-

ing, and long hair away from the infeed area to prevent anything from being pulled into the planer and prevent

serious injury.

BODY POSITION: There is a chance that the material or work piece may kick back toward you during opera-

tion. Always stand to the side of the planer during the entire operation. NEVER place your face close to planer

to look inside while planer is running.

PLANING MATERIAL: Thickness planers are designed to plane natural solid wood stock. Trying to plane

MDF, plywood, laminates, or other synthetic or man-made products may damage machine or cause injury.

GRAIN: Always plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain. Planing across the grain is

hard on the planer and may cause the work piece to kick back.

CLEAN STOCK: Always inspect and clean stock of nails, staples, or loose knots or other debris. This debris

can kick back at the operator and will damage your knives when they contact the cutter head.

CUTTING CAPACITIES: Do not push the planer beyond its listed capacities. Material kick back may result and

injury to operator or damage to machine may result:

• Maximum Depth of Cut ...................... 1/8"

• Minimum Board Length ..................... 12"

• Minimum Board Thickness ................ 1/4"

• Maximum # of Boards at One Time ..... 1

PLANER COVERS: Never remove guards or covers while operating planer. Wood chips ﬂy around inside the

planer at a very high rate of speed and could cause seriously injury.

JAMMED WORK PIECES:

WARNING: Always stop the planer and disconnect power before removing

jams. Never attempt to remove jammed work pieces and never reach into dust hood to remove clogs when the

planer is running serious injury may result.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES: Dull or damaged knives will not only give poor ﬁnish results but may kick back,

that can cause personal injury.

CHANGING KNIVES: Disconnect machine from power source.

CAUTION: Planer knives are sharp,

handle them with care.

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS:

WARNING: Magnetic switches may start when bumped. Make sure planer is

disconnected from power source before performing any service or maintenance to the machine. Failure to do

so may cause serious personal injury.

PLANER USE:

WARNING:Do not use this planer for other than its intended use. Failure to do so could

result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

SECTION 2: Power Requirements

WARNING: Machine must be grounded properly to prevent electrocution or fire. Ensure your

electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Contact qualified electrician to ensure

compliance. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so, as serious

personal injury could occur.

220V Single-Phase Grounding

All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes. Grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock if an electrical short happens. This machine has a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must

be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug. NOTE: The outlet must be properly installed and

grounded for this to operate properly.

Amperage Draw / Minimum Circuit Requirements

The motor on the PNR 14-150 will draw 18 amps during operation. Only connect your machine to a circuit

that meets the requirements. Always check to see if the wires and circuit breaker in your circuit are capable

of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on

the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. NOTE: Start up amperage draw is signifi-

cantly higher than running draw.

Plug Type / Extension Cords

An L6-20 plug and receptacle is recommended to connect your machine to power. It is NOT recommend using

extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring

to eliminate the need for extension cords. If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 220V

with your machine, check with a qualified electrician for the correct sizing, gauge, type, and maximum possible

length for your needs.

SECTION 3: Set up

WARNING: This planer is a heavy machine (560 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself

while unpacking or moving this machine. To be safe, you will need assistance and power equip-

ment when moving the shipping crate and removing the machine from the crate. Safety glasses

should be worn during the entire set up process. Read through this entire manual to become famil-

iar with the set up, controls and operations before starting the machine.

The Pioneer PNR 14-150 was carefully packed when it left the warehouse. If you discover the machine is

damaged after you have signed for delivery, please call your supplier immediately. Save the containers and all

packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Photograph any damage. Otherwise, fil-

ing a freight claim can be difficult. When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you

should inventory the contents before beginning set up process.

In the event that any nonproprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), contact your supplier, or for

the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.

Cleaning

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove

this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser to clean thoroughly, some parts may

need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts

or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts

cleaner, as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s

instructions when using any type of cleaning product. These items are coated and must be cleaned:

Cutter head, Table, Feed Rollers, and Extension Wings.

WARNING: Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could cause an explo-

sion or fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the

machinery. Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or

ingested. Lack of ventilation while using these solvents could cause serious personal health risks

or fire. Take precautions from this hazard by only using cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.

Site Considerations

WARNING: DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in shop at any time.

base footprint of 32" x48".

Working Space

In order to have a safe working environment, there

should be enough space around the machine to

walk around the machine and enough room to plane

material both at the infeed and outfeed sides without

bumping into other people, machines and obstruc-

tions. See Figure 4.

Figure 4

Moving & Placing Planer

The cabinet stand on the PNR 14-150 is equipped with lifting bars (Refer to page 9) to lift and place the plan-

er. When lifting the planer with a forklift, place shop rags or cardboard between the forks and cabinet base so

you do not scratch the paint.

3 Using a straightedge as a guide and the set screws

for leveling control, position the extension wings

even with the table, then fully tighten the hex bolts.

NOTE: Be aware that the bed rollers will give you a

false reading with your straightedge if they are raised

above the table. Move them down or work around them

when leveling the extension wings.

Hand Wheel

You will need:

Hand wheel, Hand wheel Bushing, Hand wheel Handle,

Hex Nut, Flat Washer

Figure 6

To install the Hand wheel:

Place the bushing on the Hand wheel shaft.

Insert the key into the shaft keyway.

Screw the handle into the Hand wheel.

Place the Hand wheel on the shaft and secure it with

the hex nut and flat washer, as shown in Figure 7.

Dust Hood

IMPORTANT: If you are not using a dust

collection system, do not use plastic dust

hood to direct chips. We reccomend to

always use a dust collector when operating

this planer.

Figure 7

You will need:

Dust Hood, 3 x Hex Bolts, 3 x Cap Screws, 6 x Flat

Washers, 3 x Hex Nuts, 6 x Flange Bolts

To install the dust hood:

Attach the dust hood to the top of the planer with

the hex bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts as shown

in Figure 8. NOTE: You will need to reach into the

dust hood to get access for fastening the nuts.

Attach the bottom of the dust hood to the planer

with the cap screws.

If you have a dust collector, attach it to the dust

hood now. NOTE: To maximize work results and

Safety Switch

NOTE: The magnetic switch is there for your safety and

should not be replaced by a standard power switch. If the

power goes out, the magnetic switch prevents the machine

from starting when the power is returned, and protects the

operator from an accidental start and possible injury.

Figure 9

Gearbox Oil Level

WARNING: 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 gear oil.

To check the gearbox oil level:

Remove the gearbox fill plug (Figure 11).

Using the short end of the hex wrench, dip it inside the fill hole and remove it. If the end of the hex wrench

is coated with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay.

Replace the fill plug and skip to the next section. If the end of the hex wrench is not coated with oil, then

you need to add more oil. Refer to main-

tenance section of this manual for instructions on how add or drain oil.

NOTE: Replace the gearbox oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is a normal break-in procedure.

SECTION 4: Operations / Adjustments

Your Pioneer thickness planer has been fully adjusted at the factory and no further setup is required to oper-

ate your machine. However, because of handling and transit, 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.

IMPORTANT: If you have never used a planer before, it is strongly recommended that you become confi-

dent of your personal understanding of how this machine operates and how it is adjusted.

Before You Begin

Read the entire instruction manual, and make sure oil is in the gearbox.

Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the machine.

Put on safety glasses, and secure loose clothes or long hair.

Connect your planer to the power source.

Press the on button on the Magnetic switch.

The planer should run smoothly with little or no vibration.

• After if you suspect any problems, immediately stop the planer by pushing the red button.

• Disconnect planer from power source before performing any trouble shooting or maintenance.

• If you need any help with your planer call your supplier.

Basic Operations

WARNING: Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal

injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery. 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.

NOTE: The table moves approximately 1/16" (1.59mm) with one turn of the Hand wheel.

The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protectors and respirator.

Unless your work piece is very flat, surface plane the work piece on a jointer until it is flat—having the face

flat will ensure that it sits flat on the planer table during operation.

Start the planer.

Adjust the table height to slightly lower than your work piece height to ensure the first cut is as light as

possible (approximately 1/32" to 1/16" or .8mm to 1.59mm).

Place the flat side of the board down on the table, and feed the work piece through the planer, making

sure not to stand directly in front or behind the work piece to avoid kickback injury. NOTE: 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 work piece, and repeat Steps 4 & 5.

Measure your work piece 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" (1.59mm) per pass is a good cutting depth.

NOTE: Any time you switch directions, either up or down, with the hand wheel, there will be a small amount

of play. This will be slightly less than 1/16" (1.59mm). However, as long as you move the hand wheel in the

same direction during operation, this will not be a factor.

Operation Tips

¸ Lumber should be clean and dry. Inspect for defects like loose knots, warping, cupping, twisting, glue and

for foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the quality of

your lumber, do not use it. Wood with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed to rain or snow,

will plane poorly and leave a feathery surface. Wet wood causes excessive wear to the knives and motor

and can also hasten rust and corrosion.

¸ In order to create even wear on the blades, alternate between the left, the right, and the middle when feed-

ing lumber into the planer. Your knives will remain sharp much longer and you won't get worn spots on the

blades.

¸ Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. No wood composites such as plywood, chipboard etc.

¸ Plane with the grain. Never feed end-cut or end-grained lumber into your planer.

¸ Avoid boards with loose knots, splits, cross grain or other obvious blemishes or defects. They can damage

the blades and pose the possibility of operator injury.

¸ Keep your work area clear and clean.

¸ Use the stock return rollers to move material from the outfeed area back to the infeed area when working

on long stock.

Operating Feed Speed

The infeed and outfeed rollers move the stock through

the planer while keeping boards flat and providing a

consistent rate of feed and pressure. Use the different

feed rates as stated below:

Low Feed Rate .............................Dimensioning Pass

High Feed Rate....................................Finishing Pass

The planer has three positions for the feed rate knob

as seen in Figure 13. The knob position closest to

the machine produces the high feed speed (20 FPM);

Figure 12

moving away from the machine produces the low speed

(16 FPM) and moving the knob to the center position

places the gearbox in neutral.

WARNING: Only change the speeds when

the planer is running, but DO NOT attempt

to change speeds during any cutting opera-

tions or damage to the gearbox will result.

Lock Knobs

Adjusting Height / Depth of Cut

Turn handwheel clockwise or counter-clockwise to

adjust to the required height of table. (Fiqure 14)

Before adjusting height, the lock knobs must be

loosened. When required height is obtained, tight-

en the lock knobs. (Figure 15-A)

The scale displaying the height increments is

located on right front column. (Figure 16)

Adjusting Bed Rollers

Figure 15-B

You can adjust the height of the bed rollers according

to the material being planed. As a general rule keep the

roller height within 0.002"– 0.020" (.050 –.5mm) above

the table (Figure 17). When planning rough stock, set

the rollers high to keep the lumber from dragging along

the bed. When planning milled lumber, set the rollers

low to help minimize snipe.

Misaligned bed rollers can be the root of many planing

problems, so care must be taken to achieve precise

results side to side along the roller length. To ensure

accurate results and make the adjustment process

quicker and easier, a dial indicator is recommended.

However; if not available, a straightedge and feeler

gauges can be used.

One Set Screw & Roller Adjuster - Right side shown here.

Adjusting the bed rollers:

Ensure machine is switch off and unplugged from

power source.

Lower the table to it’s maximum opening to give

yourself working room below the cutter head.

Loosen the 4 set screws (Figure 15-A & 15-B)

above the roller adjusters.

Rotate the adjusters to raise or lower the rollers to

reach your desired height.

Verify both sides of the bed roller are at the same

height, and lock them in position with the set screws.

Double check the roller heights to make sure they did

not change when you locked them (if they changed,

Figure 17

repeat the procedure). Height must be equal

Adjusting Alignment on Pulley

Using a straightedge, check to see if the motor pulley is in line with the shaft pulley (Figure 18). If they are not

in line, loosen screws as shown in figure 19-A. Move motor to left and right until adjusted to proper position

and then tighten screw again.

Shaft Pulley

Figure 19

Motor Pulley

Figure 18

Adjusting V-Belt Tension

This 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 tensioned or V-belt life will be

severely reduced.

NOTE: Pulleys and belts run warm. This is a normal condition. Allow them to cool before making adjust-

ments. Some black dust at the bottom of the belt housing is normal during the life of the V-belt.

The correct tension for the V-belts is 1/4" deflection when pushing the center with moderate pressure. Adjust/

replace belts by using the motor mount bolts (Figure 19-B) to control the tension. NOTE: Always change belts

as a matched set when replacing. If only one or two is replaced, the belt tension may not be even, causing

premature belt failure and possible injury.

Anti-Kickback Fingers

NOTE: Proper operation of the anti-kickback fingers is

essential for the safe operation of this machine and to

prevent serious operator injury.

The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended

across the cutter head casting and should be inspected

regularly. Check the fingers (Figure 21) to ensure that

they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing

freely and easily, blow or brush out the saw dust, and

clean them with a wood resin solvent. Do not apply oil

or other lubricants, which would attract dust and dirt.

Inspecting Knives

The planer knives are preset at the factory to surface me-

dium to hard density wood when cutting 1/16" to 1/8" depths

depending upon the width of the stock. Planer knives need

to be periodically inspected for nicks and wear. Planer knives

should be set approximately .070" above the cutterhead.

To inspect and remove the knives for sharpening follow the

steps below.

To inspect the knives:

Figure 22

Disconnect the planer from the power source.

Remove the cover and dust chute. (Fiqure 22)

CAUTION! Planer knives are sharp be careful.

Figure 23

Inspect the knives for nicks and excessive wear

and sharpen or replace if necessary.

To inspect the knives for proper height, place the knife

gauge (Figure 23) over the cutterhead with the legs rest-

ing ﬂush to the cutterhead. The knives should lightly

contact the middle tab of the knife gauge and should not

rock. Check all 3 knives left and right sides. (Fig 24)

Figure 24

Middle Tab

If knives need adjusting or to be replaced follow the set-

ting and replacing knives procedures.

Jack Screw

Setting/Replacing Knives

NOTE: It is crucial to safety and planning results that the

knives are sharp and correctly set. If one knife protrudes

higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and

produce poor results.

To set or replace the knives:

Knife

Disconnect the planer from the power source.

Remove the top cover and dust chute.

Remove the belt guard to expose the cutter head pulley.

Rotate the cutter head pulley to give you good access to

one of the knives.

Gib

Gib Bolt

Loosen the cutter head gib bolts slightly, starting at one

end moving across to the other side alternating back and

forth until they are all loose.

Position the knife gauge over the knife as shown in Figure 24 and loosen the gib bolts until the knife is

completely loose.

7 Jack Screws - Using a 3mm hex wrench, rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife

is set correctly, it should 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.

8 Rotate the cutter head to the first knife you started with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting at the

ends and working across the cutterhead. Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.

IMPORTANT: Sometimes the knives start to "walk" during the final tightening sequence (lift off the jack

screws). Make sure the knives stay in position until final tightening is achieved.

Feed Rollers and Chip Breaker

Adjustments

The infeed, outfeed rollers and chip breaker are preset at

the factory for normal use. If material is not feeding evenly

through the planer follow these adjustment procedures.

For adjusting the infeed, outfeed rollers and chip breaker

(Figure 26) you’ll need to cut 2 parallel boards (zeroing

boards) as shown in figure 28 and follow steps 1 through 7.

Figure 26

IMPORTANT: Make sure the boards are exactly the

same width and thick enough not to tip sideways. Joint and

rip a 2 x 4 to size. (3-1/2"W x 1-1/2"H x 32"L)

Zeroing the Planer

Disconnect planer from the power source.

Remove the top cover and dust hood of the planer.

ou will need to remove the belt cover so you can rock

the cutterhead back and forth.

WARNING: Do not move

the cutterhead by touching it directly, injury may result.

Lower the bed rollers so they are below the bed surface.

Bed rollers are shown in figure 27.

Figure 27

Place the 2 boards parallel to each other as shown in fig 28.

Crank the table up to the point where the bottom of the

cutterhead is almost touching the boards.

By holding onto the pulley, rock the cutterhead back and

forth and slowly crank the table up until the bottom arc of

the planer knife just “kisses" the top of the board. Once

this happens lock the planer bed in position. You will

notice the chip breaker and feed rollers are pushed up to

the same level as the lowest arc of the planer knife.

Figure 28

Feed Rollers

Follow steps 1-7 above.

Remove the gear box cover to access to the adjusting screws.

To function properly the infeed roller needs to extend below

the lowest arc of the cutterhead approximately .030".

To adjust; loosen the jamb nut and using a 3mm Allen

wrench and a feeler gauge tighten or loosen until there

is .030" space between the Allen screw and infeed block.

Lock the setting by tightening the jam nut. Set both left and

right hand sides. See figure 29.

Figure 29

Adjust the outfeed roller using the same procedure as in step 4 and set the space between the set screw

and blocks to .020" on both the left and right hand sides. Lock the settings by tightening the jam nuts.

Remove the zeroing boards and replace the pulley cover, top hood, dust chute and gear box cover. Make

sure all adjustments are correct and all fasteners are secure before starting the planer.

Chip Breaker

For adjusting the chip breaker, use the same procedures for

zeroing the planer as in steps 1 through 7 above.

Chip

Breaker

Make sure planer is disconnected from power source.

To function properly the chip breaker needs to extend below

the lowest arc of the cutterhead approximately .040". It’s

purpose it to snap the chips off the board and direct them

away from the cutterhead. There is no pressure bar on this

planer.

Adjustment Area

To adjust; loosen the jamb nut and using a 3mm Allen wrench and a feeler gauge tighten or loosen until

there is .035" space between the Allen screw and bar. Lock the settings by tightening the jam nuts. Set

both left and right hand sides. See figure 30.

Remove the zeroing boards and replace the pulley cover, top hood and dust chute. Make sure all

adjustments are correct and all fasteners are secure before starting the planer.

Feed Roller Spring Tension

The infeed and out feed rollers are under spring tension so material can be feed evenly through the planer.

When stock feed is erratic or stops completely, roller pressure adjustment may be needed. Proper roller height

adjustment must be completed before adjusting roller tension. Refer to feed roller adjustment. Also the bed

rollers need to be properly adjusted. Refer to bed roller adjustment section.

The 4 adjustment screws, 2 for the infeed and 2 for the outfeed rollers are located on the top of the head

casting. See figure 31

Make sure the planer is disconnected from power source.

2. Start by turning the adjusting screws flush to the casting.

Tighten as needed. The rougher the material the more

tension you need on the rollers. Do not over tighten.

Adjust all screws to the same depth. Once this is completed

adjust the outfeed roller to have slightly more tension that

the infeed roller.

Lumber should feed smoothly and evenly through the planer.

Loosen the 2 bolts that hold the idler sprocket which

places tension on the chain. (Figure 35)

Remove the chain from the sprocket that needs to be

adjusted.

Turn this sprocket by hand either left or right depending on

which way the adjustment is needed. Adjust this sprocket

to be the same as the other 3. One tooth will usually be

enough to make the adjustment.

Lock Bolts

Turning the sprocket clockwise will reduce the distance

between the head casting and the table and turning the

sprocket counter-clockwise will increase this distance.

SECTION 5:

Maintenance

Mantenance Schedule for Optimum Performance

NOTE: This schedule is for machines that are under daily use. Adjust

accordingly for your level of use.

Keep unpainted cast iron parts of table clean.

DAILY

Lubricate feed rollers.

Clean cutter head of all debris.

WEEKLY

WARNING:

Lubricate all four columns.

Always disconnect power to

the machine before perform-

ing any maintenance. Failure

to do this may result in serious

personal injury.

Inspect V-belt tension, damage, and wear. NOTE: Should

be done after first 16 hours of use.

Clean out the dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.

Lubricate worm gear.

MONTHLY

YEARLY

Check and lubricate drive & table height adj. chains.

Change gear box oil. NOTE: First oil change should be

done after the first 20 hours of use, then yearly afterwards.

Replace with 80W-90W gear oil.

Cleaning

Keep excess wood chips and sawdust off of machine, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth to

ensure moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. To help prevent rusting and smooth

material feed, treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Lubrication

BEARINGS: This planer features factory-sealed bearings and requires no lubrication during its lifetime. Should

a bearing fail, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble and or vibration, which will increase when

the machine is put under load. Do not continue use of your planer until you have replaced the worn bearing as

you may damage your planer. Bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through local suppliers.

COLUMNS & LEAD SCREWS: The outside of the four columns should be lubricated weekly with SAE 30W

oil. The four lead screws inside the columns should be lubricated with general purpose grease once a month.

TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CHAIN: should be inspected monthly and lubricated with general purpose

grease as needed.

WORM GEAR: The worm gear for changing the table height should be inspected monthly and lubricated with

general purpose grease when needed. Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts diagram for location.

GEAR BOX: Gear box oil should be changed after the first

20 hours of operation. It is not necessary to remove the

chain drive cover to access the fill/drain plugs, but doing so

will give you easier access. Replace with 80W-90W gear oil.

Inspect levels periodically and change yearly. Replace gear

oil more frequently under heavy use. NOTE: Remove the

cover and inspect the internal gears for wear. (Figure 36)

DRIVE CHAIN: The drive chain should be inspected and

Fill Plug

lubricated monthly. Check sprocket/gear, chain and cotter

pin during inspection. Use a general purpose grease. Some

chains will have master links instead of cotter pins.
