1. To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the installation bolts with the socket wrench. The
drum cover comes off together with the blades.

.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades.
Use blades of the
same dimensions and weight,
or drum
oscillation/vibration will result, causing
poor planing
action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
3. Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge
of the gauge plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply press in the heel of the
adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the adjusting
plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it.
4. Tighten all the installation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket wrench.
5. Repeat the above procedures for the other blade.
FOR TOOL WITH MINI PLANER BLADES
1. Socket wrench
2. Bolt
3. Loosen
4. Tighten
1. Remove the existing blade, if the tool has been in
use,
carefully clean the drum surfaces and the
drum cover. To
remove the blades on the drum,
unscrew the three
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover
comes off together with
the blades.
2. To install the blades, loosely attach the adjusting plate to the
set plate with the pan head screws and set the mini planer
blade on the gauge base so that the cutting edge of the blade
is perfectly flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate.
3. Set the adjusting plate/set plate on the gauge base so that
the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini
planer blade groove, then press in the heel of the adjusting
plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten
the pan head screws.
4. It is important that the blade sits flush with the inside flank of
the gauge plate, the planer blade locating lugs sit in the blade
groove and the heel of the adjusting plate is flush with the
back side of the gauge base. Check this alignment carefully to
ensure uniform cutting.
5. Slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove
of the
drum.

3. Set plate
4. Hex. flange head bolts
5. Drum cover
6. Drum
7. Adjusting plate
6. Set the drum cover over the adjusting plate/set plate and screw in the three hex flange head
bolts so that a gap exists between the drum and the set plate to slide the mini planer blade into
position. The blade will be positioned by the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate.
7. The blade's lengthwise adjustment will need to be manually positioned so that the blade ends
are clear and equidistant from the housing on one side and the metal bracket on the other.
8. Tighten the three hex flange head bolts (with the socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum
to check clearances between the blade ends and the tool body.
9. Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tightness.
10. Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for the other blade.
