Edge Chamfering
Your planer has a precision machined groove in the front shoe for planing
along a corner of the wood. It is a good idea to try a scrap piece of wood
before doing final pieces.
For best results, keep the blades clean and replace when necessary.
To Change Blades
Before you make any adjustments, make sure the power cord has been
disconnected from the electricity supply.
The blades that come standard with the tool are 82mm HSS blades.
The drum is fitted with two separate blades; both must be reversed or
replaced at the same time. Never replace only one blade.
•
Loosen (do not remove) the hex head screws with the spanner provided.
•
With the three screws loose, push the old blade out with a screwdriver.
The blades have two cutting edges on them. If this is the first time you
are changing blades, you need only to turn the blades around to expose
the fresh cutting edge, otherwise you will have to replace the blades.
•
Install the new, or reversed, blades by sliding the blades all the way in
until the end of them is flush with the edge of the rear shoe.
•
Securely tighten all three screws (for both blades).
•
After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles that may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause
the tool to overheat and fail.
