GRINDING THE PLANING KNIVES
Always grind the knives in pairs, so they are the same height, at least 15 mm, otherwise vibrations
can occur in the cutter. The grinding angle must be 38 degrees.
ADJUSTING THE PLANING KNIVES
Adjust the planing knives (A) so they are at the same level with the outfeed table. To adjust the
knives, use the aluminium block (B), delivered together with the Multi-Planer (it is in the parts bag on
the planer table).
See figure 3-10.
Loosen the chip breaker's lock screws and place the adjustment block above the knife first on the left
side of the cutter and next on the right side. Adjust the knife up or down until the knife touches the
block. (It can be adjusted also with the magnetic adjusting tool. See the magnetic adjustment tool
manual).
Tighten the knife locking bolts counterclockwise. First tighten slightly the bolts starting from outside of
the cutter, to the middle. Next tighten them.
IMPORTANT!
After adjusting the top cutter bushing cover or changing
the planer thickness, the scale indicator should be calibrated.
After adjusting or replacing the planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the planer.
Check that all screws have been sufficiently tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before the safety cover is closed.
