MAINTENANCE

Turn the switch to the OFF position and disconnect the 

machine from power source before any maintenance.  

CHECK AND REPLACE THE BLADES

Refer to Figure 9 and 10

•    Locate the blade cover on the back of planer. Loosen 
   and remove thumb screws from blade guard.
•    Identify the cutterhead inside. Watch for TWO sharp 
   blades on the cutterhead.
•    Without touching the blades, carefully turn the 
   cutterhead until it stops by the self-engaging latch. 
•    Use T Wrench to remove 6 bolts on the blade 

assembly.

•    Attach 2 provided magnets to the gib and carefully 
   remove it. 
•    Attach 2 provided magnets to the blades and carefully 
   remove it.
•    Check to see if the blade is dull, worn, nicked, torn, and 
   uneven.  These can result in poor performance such as 
   fuzzy grain, chipped grain, raised grain, raised edge, 
   and uneven cut. 
•    Replace with new blades in pairs only. Never mix new 
   blade with old blade on the cutterhead. Never mix 
   blades with different degrees of wear.  Never use a 
   blade where unbalanced wear from side to side is 
   present.
•    To replace with the new blade, use the 2 provided 
   magnets to transfer the blade onto the cutterhead. 
   Position the blade so it sits securely on the two pins.   
•    Use the 2 provided magnets to transfer the gib onto the 
   blade. Position the gib so the 6 holes are aligned with 
   the holes on the cutterhead.
•    Tighten and secure with 6 bolts.
•    To access the other blade assembly, gently pull and 
   hold the latch on the side of cutterhead to release it. 
   Once the cutterhead rotates, release the latch.
•    Without touching the blades, carefully turn the 
   cutterhead until it stops the self-engaging latch. 
•    Repeat the same procedure to check and replace the 
   other blade.
•    Replace the blade cover and secure with the two thumb 
   screws. 

INSPECT AND REPLACE THE MOTOR 

BRUSHES

•  Turn the switch to the “OFF” position and disconnect the 
   planer machine from the power source.
•  Inspect the motor brushes after every 100 hours of use. 
   Brush life varies, depending on the motor loads.
•  Replace the motor brushes in set (two brushes) only. 
   Replace with new parts only.
•  To inspect motor brushes, unscrew brush caps on the 
   sides of motor. There are two caps, one on each side of 
   motor.
•  Remove brush assembly from motor.
•  Replace motor brushes if the length of carbon has been 
   worn to less than 3/8”, or if the springs are worn, or if the 
   motor does not run smoothly.
•  Replace with new motor brush assembly. 
•  Replace the brush cap and tighten the screw. 
•  Repeat the same procedure on the other side of motor.
