TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES ON YOUR PLANER (FIG. 21)
1. Use the T-wrench to remove the top cover and brush cover screen on
the planer.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the brush cap located in the
right, rear of the unit (V).
3. Do the same for the brush cap located on the side of the motor, inside
the planer cover.
4. Place the new brushes into the brush holders.
5. After installing the brushes, replace the top cover and brush cover
screen.
6. Before using the planer, run the unit for 10 minutes to seat new
brushes.
NOTE: If existing brushes do not need replacing, be sure to maintain the
same orientation when you reinstall them.
Calibrating the Depth Adjustment Scale (Fig. 22)
The depth adjustment scale (N) on your planer is set at the factory.
However, with extended use, the depth adjustment scale could show an
incorrect measurement.
To check the depth adjustment scale, plane a piece of scrap wood, noting
the measurement on the depth adjustment scale.
Measure the finished thickness of the workpiece. If the thickness of the
workpiece does not match the reading on the depth adjustment scale,
loosen the two screws(W) on the red indicator. Adjust the pointer up or
down until its reading matches the finished thickness of the workpiece.
Securely re-tighten the screws.
