Replacing Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers power from the motor to
the cutterhead, and is located on the right side of
the planer. The belt is very durable, but eventually
it may require replacement.
Tools Needed
Qty
Hex Wrench 5mm .............................................. 1
Phillips Screwdriver ........................................... 1
To replace the drive belt:
1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2. Remove the elevation crank, then remove the
top cover, which will allow the side panel to
be removed.
3. Remove the two Phillips head screws from
the front and back of the right-hand side
panel, then lift the panel up and away from
the machine to expose the drive belt and pul-
leys, as shown in
Figure 32.

7. Apply downward pressure on the gauge
against the upward pressure of the springs—
this will correctly set the knife height at 0.059"
(1.5mm) above the cutterhead.
8. While maintaining pressure on the knife
gauge, tighten (counterclockwise) the gib
bolts just enough to hold the knife in place.
Start with the middle bolt and work out to the
ends, as shown in
Figure 31.

12. Repeat Steps 2–11 to set the correct height
of the second knife.
13. Remove all the tools used in this procedure,
then re-install the chip deflector or dust
hood.
9. Repeat Step 8 and tighten the bolts a little
more.
10. Repeat Step 8 again, but fully tighten the gib
bolts this time.
11. Check the knife height again with the gauge.
The knife tip should be just touching the arc
of the gauge, as shown in
Figure 29 on the
previous page.
— If the knife is not set at the correct height,
fully loosen the gib bolts (clockwise), then
repeat
Steps 6-11 until the knife is set at
the correct height.
