Turning the blades over/Fitting the blades
1. Turn the blade over and fit it into the blade holder.
2. Make sure that the slot in the blade lines up with the guides on the drum plate.
See the figure above. There are also two protrusions on the drum plate that must
line up with two holes in the set plate. See the figure above.
3. Place the assembled blade holder into the blade drum. Make sure that the blade
holder is in the centre of the blade drum.
4. Tighten the three clamping screws. Turn the blade drum by hand to make sure that
it can rotate freely before switching the planer on.
Note:
If you adjust the cutting depth, the edge of the blade must not protrude more
than 1.1 mm from the drum. It is important that both blades have the same setting.
After changing or adjusting the blades, make sure that all the screws are tight.
