DISASSEMBLING
Fixed cutter:
Loosen the nut on the spindle with a 30 mm wrench (supplied) and a 13 mm wrench or
adjustable wrench. Unscrew the nut and remove the cutter (A) and any spacing rings under the
cutter.
IMPORTANT!
Loosen the side cutter nuts by turning them in the same
direction as the cutter rotation direction.
REPLACING KNIVES
Loosen the lock screw (B) with a 4 mm allen wrench (C) (supplied) and remove the chip breaker (D).
Then remove the knife (E) from the dowel pin (F). Insert a new wrench and tighten the locking screw
tightly.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure the knives in the cutter are in proper direction.
The cutting edge must be pointed to the chip breaker. Check if the
cutter is properly set on the spindle.
IMPORTANT!
All machine cutters should turn in the same direction as
in conventional milling.
Check that the corrosion-proof spring plate located in front of the cutter will not be bent towards the
cutter by the workpiece's unplaned edge. Pay particular attention when cutting workpieces of
different widths.
Be sure that the cutter can rotate freely and chip barrier plate located behind the cutter is 5 mm from
the knife.

To remove the planing knife from the side cutter, use the 4 mm allen wrench (supplied) to loosen the
