REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADES
– cont’d
Installing the cutting blades
1. Rotate the cutting blade endways so
the sharp new cutting edge is facing
upward.
2. Carefully grasp the far end of the
cutting blade with a pair of small pliers
and slide the cutting blade, sharp side
up, into the cutting blade clamp where
the blade was removed.
NOTE:
Make sure the grooved side of the
cutting blade is toward the rear of the tool
and the new sharp edge is upward.
3. Use a small piece of scrap wood to
gently push the blade fully into the
blade clamp until it comes to rest
against the metal blade stop.
4. Slightly tighten the MIDDLE blade
clamp screw (1) using the 30 mm
blade screw wrench (Fig. 15).
NOTE:
Tighten the blade clamp screw by
pulling the wrench toward you. At this
point, only tighten the blade clamp screw
SLIGHTLY.
5. Using a small piece of soft wood,
carefully tap the ends of the blade to
ensure it is exactly parallel with the
front sole plate, blade cylinder and
blade clamp.
NOTE:
If the blade is not parallel with the
front sole plate, the planning action will not
be square.
