To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments to the planer.

MAKING A RABBETING CUT
The planer can create rabbeting cuts up to 1/3 of an inch, limit-
ed by the protruding housing on the right-hand side of the tool .
1. Make sure that the workpiece is secured to a stable platform.
2. Follow instructions in “Operating your Planer” on page 10 to
perform your cut.
3. Make multiple progressive cuts to achieve the desired total cutting depth (Fig. K).

REMOVING OR INSTALLING PLANER BLADES
WARNING:
Planer blades are sharp and fragile. Wear protective gloves to protect your hands. Handle
the blades carefully to avoid personal injury or damage to the blades.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened blades of any kind. Use only blades desig-
nated for use with this model. Other blades may not clamp securely in the blade holder, causing vibration
and a decrease in performance.
Condition of blades will affect the precision of cuts. Observe the quality of the cut that the planer produces to check
condition of the blades. Dull blades will tear wood fibers and produce fuzzy surfaces. Raised grain will occur on
the wood when the cutting blades are dull or nicked.
NOTE:
Blades on this planer are reversible and should always be reversed or replaced as a matched set. Unbal-
blades can cause vibration and poor planing action while shortening the life of the blade and the tool. Keeping
a spare set of blades on hand is recommended. Replacement blades (Model 6534B) can be ordered in two packs
at wenproducts.com.
Disconnect the planer from the power source.
Put the planer on a secure work surface and turn it upside
. Carefully rotate the blade drum to expose the clamping
screws (Fig. L - 1).
Loosen the three clamping screws using the included blade
nch in the direction indicated by the arrows (Fig. M).
CAUTION:
The blade drum can rotate as you’re doing this so
be careful not to contact the blade with your hand. If the screw is
difficult to loosen, try tightening it a little and then loosen it.
Hold the blade drum in place and carefully slide out the blade
ig. N). You can also use a wooden block to push the blade out
of the blade drum.
5. Clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade drum
and the blade using a soft brush or compressed air.
Each planer blade has two cutting edges and may be reversed when one of the cutting edges becomes dull or
pped.
If one edge is dull, reverse the blade.
If both edges are dull, remove the old blade and replace it with a new one.
