rately. To adjust the depth of cut scale, follow
the steps outlined below:
Try to feed a board for planing.
• Compare the measured thickness of the
board to the reading on the depth of cut scale.
If the reading on the depth of cut scale is incor-
rect, loosen the screw which tightens the plas-
tic pointer and adjust accordingly.
• When you have properly adjusted the depth
of cut scale, test your reading by planing a
piece of scrap timber. After planing, mea-
sure the planed thickness and double check it
against the scale reading.
• The two measurements should be the same,
re-adjust your depth of cut scale to read the
planed thickness if necessary.
REMOVING THE PLANER BLADES
To remove the planer blades, follow the steps
outlined below:
WARNING: Unplug your planer from the
power source before removing the planer
blades.
• Remove the chip guard by removing the wing
nut on each side.
1. Loosen the lock bar
(Fig.1-B) and blade
by turning the lock
screws (A) clockwise.
The blades are spring
loaded, and will push
out when the assem-
bly is loosened.
2. Take out the blade
(C), and then the
blade lock bar (B).
INSTALLING THE PLANER BLADES
WARNING: Unplug your planer from the
power source before removing the planer
blades. To install the planer blades, follow the
steps outlined below:
• Remove the blades according to the instruc-
tions for REMOVING THE PLANER BLADES
• Fit the blade lock bar (B) into the slot on the
cutterhead.
• Fit the blade into the slot on the cutterhead,
and tighten the lockbar blade assembly by
turning the screws counter clockwise. Make
sure the blade is facing the correct direction.
• Set the blade heights according to the in-
structions as shown below. The blade height
must be reset every time the blades are taken
out for any reason.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the chip guard after
blades are installed.
SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT
To obtain a blade projection of 1.5mm, place
the blade setting gauge (Fig.1-E) on the cut-
terhead with both guides resting firmly against
the blade. Loosen the assembly by turning
the 7 screws (A) clockwise with an open end
wrench.
When the blade is pressed to the required
height by guides on the gauge, retighten the
assembly by turning the screws counter clock-
wise. Make sure all seven lock screws are tight-
ened securely.
WARNING: The blade edge is very suscep-
tible to chipping. Use caution when handling
the gauge near the blades to avoid damaging
them.
WARNING: The assembly must be tightened
securely to prevent accidents during planing.
MAKING THE CUTTERHEAD AND WORKTA-
BLE PARALLEL
Plane a workpiece and measure thickness after
the cut. If the thickness is not the same on both
sides of the workpiece, perform the following
action. Adjust the cutter shaft and the work-
table so they are parallel. The tools used for
checking are shown below;
NOTE: Please use hardwood to make a tool
guage block according to the size shown in the
figure 2. Make the adjustments as per the fol-
lowing procedures.
