Planing Tips
For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap wood to the end of the
piece you are planing. Don't stop planing until the cutting blades of the
planer are past your work piece and into the scrap material.
Rebating
Your planer can make rebate cuts up to
8mm. To make a rebate cut, clamp a thin
straight piece of timber or other material
along the line at which the rebate cut
needs to be made. Start planing along the
workpiece as shown in Fig 1. using the clamped material as a guide.
Note:
It will be necessary to make quite a number of cuts for most
rebate applications.
To Change Blades
•
Before making any adjustments, make sure the power cord has been
disconnected from the electrical supply.
•
The drum is fitted with two separate blades; both must be changed or
replaced at the same time. Never replace only one blade. The blades are
82mm universal tungsten carbide reversible slither blades, available
through your local hardware store.
•
Turn the tool upside down so you can see the blade drum.
•
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 (rear metal
base plate which is secured to the planer by 4 screws).
•
Securely tighten all three screws to the drum (for both blades).
