REMOVING OR INSTALLING PLANER BLADES
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from the
power source outlet before making any adjustments.
WARNING: These blades cannot and should not be re-sharpened.
WARNING: The planer blades are sharp and fragile and must be handled carefully to avoid injury to the
user and damage to the blades.
The planer blades have two cutting edges and may be reversed when one of the cutting edges becomes dull
or chipped.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened blades of any kind. Use only blades designated for use with
this model, as other blades may not clamp securely in blade holder, causing vibration and a decrease in
performance.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
REMOVING OR INSTALLING PLANER BLADES (CONT.)
1.
Disconnect the planer from the
power source.
2.
Using the wrench supplied, loosen
all clamping screws.
3.
Slide out the blade.
4.
Clean out all chips or foreign mat-
ter adhering to the blade drum and the
blade.
5.
If one edge is dull, reverse the
blade. If both edges are dull, remove
the blade and replace it with a new blade.
6.
Slide the good blade face up into the blade retainer of the blade drum. The ridge along the blade should be on
the opposite side of the clamping screws.
7.
Tighten the clamping screws, ensuring that they are tightened evenly.
8.
Repeat for the second blade, making sure that both blades are set to the same cutting level and positioned in
the center of the blade drum. Otherwise, your planed surface will be rough and uneven.
CAUTION: Tighten all clamping screws carefully when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose clamping screw
can be extremely dangerous. Check regularly to see that they are tightened securely.
NOTICE: Always change both blades at the same time. Use blades of the same dimensions and weight. Otherwise,
the resulting imbalance can cause vibration and poor planing action while shortening the life of the blade and the
tool.
NOTICE: Your planed surface will end up rough and uneven unless the blades are properly and securely set. The
blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level (parallel to the surface of the rear shoe).
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
BLADE ALIGNMENT
To ensure an even cut, the blade must be adjusted so that it aligns with the
outside edge of the front and rear shoes. This alignment can be achieved as
follows:
1.
Place a straight edge or a piece of wood along the outside surface of
the
front and rear shoes. Slide the planer blade to just contact the straight edge
or wood.
