4. BLADE FITTING AND
CHANGING
WARNING: Remove
power cord from the
socket before carrying out any
adjustments or changing blades.
The blade has two cutting edges,
which can be reversed. When
replacing or reversing the plane
blades, the guide groove guarantees
constant height adjustment.
NOTE: Dull and worn blades
cannot be reground and must be
replaced.
Remove the plug from the mains
socket. Using the Socket spanner
(15) provided loosen the 3 bolts
approximately 1/2 rotation counter-
clockwise (See D1).Holding the
blade clamp (14) in position, using a
piece of wood slides the blade (13)
out of the blade clamp to remove
the blade from the blade clamp (See
D2)
NOTE: there is no need to
remove the blade clamp (14)
as this can change the factory
settings for cutting blade height
control.
Before reinserting a new or reverse
blade, always clean both the blade
and the blade seat if dirty. Slide the
blade into the blade clamp in the
correct orientation. Check the blade
is equal with the clamp. Then tighten
the three screws to clamp the new
blade (See D3). Before starting,
rotate by hand to check the roller is
free to rotate.
