Press ABS button (no longer than 3 seconds) to switch to relative mode. “INC” will appear on the display. The value shown is in relative mode; it is an incremental position that can be zeroed at any point and determines not the thickness of a board, but how much material will be removed from a board. Moving the table up and down will now display relative measurement until you press ABS again to go back to absolute. IMPORTANT: Always place the digital display in relative (“INC”) mode before turning it off. If you turn it off while in absolute (“ABS”) mode, your absolute setting will default to zero. Figure 40 MM/INCH – millimeters/inches Pressing this button toggles back and forth between standard and metric, and can be done at any time without affecting saved settings. HOLD – maintains data on the display. Press this button to “freeze” a measurement on the display; it will remain even if the table is moved. Press HOLD again and it returns to normal measurements. SET – preset a value Press SET; the indicator will flash “SET”. Press and hold the SET button and each digit flashes in turn. When the digit you want flashes, release the SET button. Press SET button once (no longer than 1 second) and that digit will increase by one each time SET is pressed. When finished, press and hold SET button until indicator “SET” flashes, then press SET again (no longer than 1 second). The indicator “SET” disappears and the value you just input is displayed on the screen. 20 From this point on, any table movement will be based off this setting. The setting will be kept in the device’s memory even when the digital display is turned off, and only needs re-setting after a battery has lost charge and needs replacing. TOL – tolerance setting This function is not generally used in planer operations, but is here explained for reference. Press TOL, and an up-arrow indicator will appear, as well as a flashing “SET” indicator. You can now change the upper tolerance limit. Hold down the TOL button and each digit flashes in turn. When the digit you want flashes, release the TOL button. Press TOL button once (no longer than 1 second) and that digit will increase each time TOL is pressed. When finished, press and hold TOL button until indicator “SET” flashes. While indicator “SET” is flashing, press SET button to change the arrow to the down-arrow indicator. You can now change the lower tolerance limit in the same manner as you changed the upper tolerance limit. When finished setting the lower tolerance limit, while indicator “SET” is flashing, press SET button (no longer than 1 second). The device is now in tolerance measuring mode. When the up- arrow indicator is displayed, it means the measured value is beyond the upper limit. When the down-arrow indicator is displayed, the measured value is below the lower limit. When the display shows an “OK” indicator, the measured value is within tolerance. Calibrating & Using Digital Scale Scale Alignment The scale assembly has been mounted and aligned with the 15S Planer table at the factory. The scale should be in vertical position, and the digital device should slide smoothly along the full length of the scale. Check occasionally that the screws holding the device to the planer are tight. If any realignment of the scale should ever be needed, slots are provided in the mounting brackets (Fig. 41). Figure 41 Establish Absolute Zero One of your first steps should be to “zero” the digital scale in absolute mode. This is equivalent to finding the exact point of contact between the cutterhead knife and the table. This can’t be done simply by raising the table, because the depth limiter on the head casting will prevent contact between table and cutterhead. However, there are two relatively easy methods of establishing zero in absolute mode: Method 1 uses a gauge, such as a height gauge, or a home-made gauge block (see Fig. 17). If using a home-made gauge block, make sure it has been cut to exact specifications. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Turn on the digital display. It turns on in absolute mode. 3. Place the gauge upon the planer table and under the cutterhead. (Make sure the gauge lies solidly upon the table and not upon the table rollers.) 4. Raise the table until the gauge just touches the lowest point of a knife. Rock the cutterhead slightly (use the pulley to do this) to make certain the knife’s high point is contacting the gauge. 5. The reading on the gauge, or the height of the gauge block, should now be input into the digital display. Refer to the instructions above involving the “SET” button function to input this number into your digital display. 21 Method 2 uses a scrap board and calipers. 1. Turn on the digital display. It turns on in absolute mode. 2. Plane one side of a scrap board at an appropriate and safe cutting depth (1/16” for example). 3. Raise the table by the same amount (1/16”), then turn the board over and plane the other side. Do not move the table from the cu...
