Replacing the Cutting Blades (Fig. B)
The cutting blades fitted on this tool are reversible. If both sides
are worn, the cutting blades have to bereplaced.

WARNING: Always replace the bladessimultaneously.
1. Carefully rotate the cutterhead
7
until the first blade
becomesvisible.
2. Loosen the bolts
8
using the spannersupplied.
3. Pull up the side guard
9
.
4. Slide the blade
10
out of itsholder.
5. Reverse the blade or replaceit.
6. Slide the blade into the holder. At the rebating side (i.e. the
side where the side guard is mounted), the cutting blade
must be flush with the planingshoe.
7. Adjust the blade as describedbelow.
8. Tighten the bolts
8
.
Repeat as for the otherblade.
Adjusting the Blades (Fig. B)
1. Ensure the depth of cut is set at 0mm.
2. Check the position of the blade
10
at both ends. Use a flat
object as a level across the planingshoe.
3. The tip of the blade must be flush with the planing
shoesurface.
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
Turn each adjusting screw
11
in or out as necessary until
the blade tip coincides with the planingshoe.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut (Fig. A)
Turn the planing depth adjustment knob
4
. One revolution of
the adjustment knob equals a 4.0 mm change indepth.
One graduation corresponds to a depth of cut of 0.1mm.
Attaching, Removing and Adjusting the
Parallel Fence (Fig. C)
The parallel fence

1. Assemble the parallel fence
12
in such way that the fence
profile will provide guidance from the front of the tool until
behind thecutterhead.
2. Fit the parallel fence to the threaded hole
13
from
eitherside.
3. Tighten the wing bolt
14
.
