ROTATING/ CHANGING
HIGH SPEED STEEL CUTTING TIPS
Tools Needed:
T-Handle Wrench with T25 Torx Bit
The 13” cutterhead is equipped with 26 indexable high
speed steel
cutting tips
. Each
cutting tip
can be rotated
to reveal any one of its 2 cutting edges. If one cutting
edge becomes dull or damaged, users may simply rotate
the
cutting tip
by 90 degrees to index to a fresh cutting
edge (Fig. 7).
Each tip has a referencing dot at the corner. If the tip is
roated, the reference dot location will be used as an
indicator to tell if it is used or new.
To rotate or change a HSS cutting tip:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER
SOURCE!
2. Loosen 2 hex head screws from dust chute by hex
wrench. Remove Dust chute.
3. Remove any sawdust from the head of the HSS tip
Torx screw.
4. Insert hex wrench into right side panel & cutterhead
and turn the cutterhead to a position for changing tips.
SEE FIG. 7A
5. Remove the Torx screw and HSS Cutting Tip.
6. Clean all dust and dirt off the cutting tip and the
cutterhead pocket from which the cutting tip was
removed, and replace the cutting tip so a fresh, sharp
edge is facing outward.
NOTE: Proper cleaning is critical to achieving a smooth
finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the cutting tip and
cutterhead will slightly raise the cutting tip, and make a
noticeable marks on your work-pieces the next time you
plane.
7. Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a light machine
oil, wipe the excess oil off the threads, and torque the
Torx screw to 48-52 in-lbs.
Cutterhead knives and inserts are razor sharp!
Always wear heavy leather golves when handling
cutterheads, and avoid contact with ctips whenever
possible. Failure to comply can result in serious
personal injury!
