七.Operation & Adjustment

Q18: How does the A106HL-ST operation system work?

A18:The operation system of the A106HL-ST is relatively simple:

  1. The blade shaft, delivery roller and press roller are driven by one motor.

  2. The operator only needs to press the start button on the left of the front of the planer, and the blade shaft, delivery roller and press roller start synchronously.

  3. When the stop button is pressed, the whole machine stops immediately.

  4. The worktable lift is controlled by turning the hand wheel on the working table.

  5. When turning the hand wheel, release the fastener at the back of the hand wheel first, adjust to the required height, then lock it again to keep the worktable height unchanged, ensuring consistent thickness for the same batch of wood.

  6. The two rollers on the left and right brackets of the breaker installed on top of the planer are used to return the workpiece for a second planing pass.

Q19:How to adjust the worktable height of the A106HL-ST?

A19:Steps for adjusting worktable height:

  1. Release the fastener at the back of the hand wheel.

  2. Turn the hand wheel (left or right) to adjust the worktable height.

  3. According to the workpiece thickness, observe the index on the working table and align it with a scale on the right wall, which is the finished thickness after planing.

  4. After test cutting and inspection, tighten the fastener.

  5. This ensures consistent thickness for a large number of workpieces after planing.

Q20: How to whet and change the planing blades of the A106HL-ST?

A20:Steps for whetting and changing planing blades:

  1. Lift the breaker to expose the blade shaft.

  2. Use a wrench to loosen the fasten bolt on the pressing strip, take out the blade for whetting or changing.

  3. When taking out the blade and pressing strip, be careful of the two springs at the bottom of the blade groove jumping out. Take them out carefully and keep them for next installation.

  4. During installation, make both ends of the blade machine even and fixed, and adjust the four adjustable bolts to keep them at the same height (about 1 mm).

  5. Put two springs into the two φ6 holes at the bottom of the blade groove.

  6. Put the planing blade and pressing strip into the blade groove, paying attention to the blade edge direction. Do not install incorrectly.

  7. Due to the elasticity of the two springs, the blade edge contacts the arc surface of the blade machine, then tighten the fasten bolt on the pressing strip.

  8. After installing one blade, install the other blades in sequence.

  9. Ensure all blades on the blade shaft are at the same height.

  10. Finally, check whether all bolts on the pressing strip are tightened to prevent the blade from flying out and damaging the machine.

Note: All blades on the same blade shaft must be whetted or changed at the same time to keep the blade weight uniform. Because the blade, pressing strip and bolts are pre-balanced at the factory. Otherwise, the imbalance at high speed will generate excessive centrifugal force, affecting the accuracy and service life of the blade shaft rolling bearing.

Q21: How to adjust the bearing pressure of the press roller on the A106HL-ST?

A21:The pressure of the spring on top of the two bearing seats of the press roller is adjusted at the factory. During use, the user can adjust it appropriately:

  1. Left-hand threaded nut makes the spring pressure stronger.

  2. Right-hand threaded nut weakens the spring pressure.

Q22: How to adjust the height of the delivery roller and press roller on the A106HL-ST?

A22:The position of the bearing of the delivery roller and press roller is generally adjusted at the factory. If the user finds the left and right bearings uneven or unqualified during use, adjust as follows:

  1. Loosen the four lock nuts under the bearing seat.

  2. Rotate the four adjustable bolts for adjustment.

  3. Make the outer diameter of the delivery roller and press roller about 1 mm lower than the blade shaft cutting circle.

  4. Finally, tighten the four lock nuts.

Q23: How to adjust the holding roller height on the working table of the A106HL-ST?

A23:The height of the holding roller on the working table is adjusted at the factory. If readjustment is needed:

  1. Loosen the four lock nuts under the working table.

  2. Rotate the four adjustable bolts to make the outer diameter of the two holding rollers about 0.10–0.20 mm higher than the working table surface.

  3. After adjustment, tighten the four lock nuts again.

Q24: How to adjust the height of the breaker and press roller on the A106HL-ST?

A24:The height of the breaker and press roller relative to the blade shaft is adjusted at the factory. If readjustment is needed:

  1. Adjust the height of the breaker by adjusting the two M8 adjustable bolts on the left and right brackets of the breaker (visible on top of the planer).

  2. Adjust the height of the press roller by adjusting the two M6 adjustable bolts on the two positioning boards on the left and right walls (located beside the unpress roller at the back of the planer).

  3. Adjustment method: loosen the lock nut first, then rotate the adjustable bolt.

  4. After adjustment, the bottom of the breaker and press roller should be about 0.5 mm lower than the blade shaft cutting circle.

  5. Finally, tighten the lock nut again.

八. Testing & Installation

Q25: What preparations are needed before testing the A106HL-ST?

A25:Preparations before testing include:

  1. Adjust all relevant parts properly.

  2. Tighten all relevant fasteners, especially each press nail on the pressing strip, to prevent the blade from flying out at high speed and causing injury or equipment accidents.

  3. Turn the triangle belt pulley by hand. It should rotate flexibly with no abnormal sound and no collision.

  4. Check the rotation direction of the triangle belt pulley: observed from the motor side, the blade shaft is left-handed, the delivery roller and press roller are right-handed. If not, stop immediately and change the motor wiring.

  5. Remove all tools, gauges and other objects from the working table to prevent hard objects from entering the roll and damaging the blade and other parts.

Q26: What should be noted during the testing of the A106HL-ST?

A26:Notes during testing:

  1. If abnormal sound or collision occurs, stop the machine immediately for inspection and find out the cause.

  2. First check whether relevant fasteners are loose.

  3. Do not restart the machine before the cause is identified and the fault is cleared, to prevent further trouble.

  4. When planing long workpieces, a dedicated person should hold the workpiece at the exit end to prevent damage to the blade shaft and delivery/press rollers.

  5. If frequently planing heavy, long and large workpieces, consider installing movable delivery and receiving racks at both the entrance and exit, level with the working table, to save labor and improve efficiency.

Q27: What should be noted for A106HL-ST installation?

A27:Installation notes include:
