9. Use the magnets on the top of the T-wrench to attract the knife clamp
and lift it off of the cutter head. One of the knives should now be
exposed.
10. Use the magnet (T) on the top of the T-wrench (Fig. 19) to attract the
knife. Avoid touching it with your fingers.
If only one side of the knife is worn:
1. Turn the knife around so that the sharp, unused edge hangs over the
end of the cutter head where it will cut the material. Be sure to set the
oblong holes in the knife over the pins machined on the cutter head.
2. Reset the knife clamp over the knife. Be sure to align the beveled edge
on the clamp with the sharp, cutting edge of the knife. If these are not
aligned correctly, the clamp will not secure the knife properly.
3. Install the screws into the clamp and tighten sufficiently.

4. Repeat the procedure for the last dull knife.
After installing new knives:
1. Insert the round end of the dust shroud into the fan housing and rotate
it down to lock it into place.

3. Screw the top cover of the planer back onto the unit.
NOTE: THE PLANER WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE TOP COVER IS NOT
PLACED CORRECTLY.
