CAUTION: Always pull out the mains plug before changing or sharpening the knives. Sharp

planing knives guarantee good planing results and put less strain on the motor. Knives which

have become blunt must be sharpened or replaced. Proceed as follows to change or sharpen

the knives:

• Remove the guide fence (8). Pull out the cutterblock guard (9) to the side as far as it will go.

• Loosen the clamping bolts (20) by turning clockwise with open-ended spanner supplied.

Loosen the clamping bolts to enable the chipbreaker/wedge (22) with knife (21) can be

withdrawn through the opening. Take out the chipbreaker/wedge device and knife.
