Blade disassembly (see Picture F)
When replacing a blade, always replace or reverse both blades at the same time. Otherwise imbalance
can cause vibrations and reduce the service life of the machine. Do not release the two hex screws (24).
They are used to adjust the height of the blade assembly.
• Using the supplied wrench (12), turn the three bolts (23) in clockwise direction to loosen the blade
holder (25). When turned clockwise the bolts thread into the blade holder, thus releasing pressure
on the spindle drum (16) and allowing the blade to be removed.
• Pres and hold blade cover (17).
• Use a piece of wood to slide the blade (26) lengthwise out of the blade holder.
• Clean the blade clamping elements and the blade, if required.
• Turn the cutter spindle (16) half turn and repeat the procedure to disassemble the second blade
(eventually leave this second side as a template and disassemble it only after assembling the first
side).
Blade assembly and adjustment (see Picture F)
• Assemble the planer blade in reversed order. Ensure that it is seated properly between the blade
holder (25) and the press plate (27) and is aligned with the side edge of the rear base plate (21). For
correct lateral alignment, place a straight piece of wood along the side edge of front and rear base
plates (19, 21) and slide the blade against this straight piece of wood so that the blade aligns flush
with both plates.
• Turn the three bolts (23) anti‐clockwise to secure the blade holder. Only snug the bolts for now.
• To adjust the height of the blade, set the depth knob (15) to zero and place a straight object onto the
rear base plate (21). Use the allen key (7) to turn the hex screws (24) which adjust the position of
blade holder (25). The blade must be just touching the straight object on the base (21).
• Turn the three bolts (23) anti‐clockwise firmly to secure the blade holder in place.
• Turn the cutter spindle (16) another half turn and repeat the procedure to assemble and adjust the
second blade.
• Release the blade cover.
Warning! Before starting the planer, verify that the bolts of the blade holder are well
tightened and the blades do not graze.
Planing depth adjustment
The depth of cut can be adjusted variably from 0 – 1 mm with adjustment knob (1), using the depth scale
at the knob base.
OPERATION
Personal protective equipment
• Wear protective gloves.
• Wear protective goggles. Flying shavings can cause injury.
• Wear hearing protection for protection from continuous noise in the work place.
• Wear dust mask for protection from airborne dust.
Check whether the type of the plug corresponds with the type of the socket.
The data on the nameplate must correspond with the actual power supply voltage.
