4. Repeat procedure for the otherblade.
NOTE: In order to use high-speed steel blades with this
planer, the sharpening holder
28
is required to sharpen
high-speed steel blades and is available at additional cost
from your local DeWALT authorized servicecenter.
Reversible Carbide Blades (Fig.A, K)
1. To Remove Blade from Planer (Fig.K2)
a. Loosen and remove the three star head screws
18
with the T25 star head key
16
provided. Remove the
drum cover
19
from the drum
20
.
b. Remove the blade carrier/guide bar assembly
(
22
,
23
,
27
). Carefully remove the carbide blade
27
.
2. To Adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate (provided with
tool) (Fig. K3)
a. Cautiously place the sharp edge of the carbide
blade
27
on the gauge plate
24
with the grooved
side of the carbide blade facing up. Either edge of the
reversible carbide blade can be set flush against the
gauge plate inside wall
25
.
b. Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the
blade so that the rib on the blade carrier
26
fits into
the groove on the carbide blade
27
. The heel of the
guide bar
23
will overhang the end of the gauge
plate
24
.
c. Loosen the two cross-shaped screws
22
with
ascrewdriver.
d. Simultaneously hold the blade carrier
26
and carbide
blade
27
against the gauge plate inside wall
25
while holding the heel of the guide bar
23
against
the back edge of the gauge plate. Securely tighten
the cross-shaped screws
22
.
3. To Replace the Blade (Fig. K1, K2)
a. Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar
assembly from the gauge plate
24
and place the heel
of the guide bar
23
into the groove on the drum
20
.
b. Place the drum cover
19
over the blade carrier/
guide bar assembly. Loosely screw the three star head
screws
18
into the drum
20
so that there is a small
gap between the drum and the blade carrier
26
.
c. Slide the carbide blade between the drum
20
and
the blade carrier
26
from the side so that the rib on
the blade carrier sets into the groove in theblade.
d. Center the carbide blade
27
under the blade
carrier
26
making sure the blade is clear of the tool
housing on bothsides.
e. Securely tighten the three star head screws
18
to
thedrum.
4. Repeat procedure for the otherblade.
NOTE: Before installing or replacing blades, clean out all
chips or any foreign matter adhering to the planer blade
ordrum.
NOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades,
the blade carrier
26
required for carbide blades is
available at additional cost from your local DeWALT
authorizedservicecenter.
To Change Blades (Fig.A, I–L)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.

CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle
with greatcare.

CAUTION: Be sure that the blades are mounted as
described in the instructionmanual.

CAUTION: Inspect blades, carriers, guide bars, screws
and drum covers for straightness and defects. Do not
use any components that are suspect in anyway.

CAUTION: Carefully tighten all screws when attaching
blades to the tool. Always check to make sure they are
tightenedsecurely.

CAUTION: Use planer blades of the same weight and
dimensions, otherwise drum vibration/oscillation
could cause poor planing action and tool breakdown
canresult.
The planer is capable of using high-speed steel and carbide
blades. Be sure to check the planer to verify which blade it is
fittedwith.
Blade Storage (Fig.A, I)
Your planer is equipped with blade storage for two
additional blades. To store or remove additional blades, turn
the blade storage knob
13
counterclockwise toopen.
