CAUTION!
If the height adjusting screws are screwed too tight, the
knife will crack.

Repeat this procedure on all straight knives you have installed in the head.
Replacing cutter straight planer knives
This procedure is the same for upper and lower cutters.
1.
Loosening the gib lock bolts.
2.
Loosening the knife adjustment screws until the blade is free.
3.
Clean any debris or residue from the cutter head, gibs, or knives, as needed.
4.
Place the new knife in at the same orientation as the old knife.
NOTE:
Always place the leading edge of the knife against the gib. This
is true for both straight planing knives and moulding knives in all cutter
heads.
5.
Level the knives as described in
Leveling lower cutter straight planer knives
and
the upper cutter straight planer knives
Adjusting cutting depth of the lower cutter
The cutting depth of the lower cutter is set by adding or removing the adjusting plates
located on the cast iron planer table in front of the lower cutter.
There are three takeoff-adjusting plates available:
2 mm thick with beveled holes
1 mm thick with beveled holes
1 mm thick with flat holes
IMPORTANT!
The 1mm plate with the flat holes should not be used
alone. When used, it should be place on the bottom or sandwiched
between plates.
