Knife Installation and Adjustment
1. WARNING! Before working on the
Knives, wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles and heavy-duty leather
work gloves.
2. WARNING! Unplug Planer and allow Knives
to cool completely if used recently.
3. The Planer is equipped with two reversible
Knives. Reverse or replace the Knives as a
set in order to avoid an imbalance between
the two Knife Holder assemblies.
4. Wearing heavy-duty leather work gloves, rotate
the Knife Drum (63) until one Knife Holder (59)
and Knife (57) are accessible through the gap
between the Base Plates (54, 61) - see Figure A.
Note that the heads of the Knife Holder Bolts
(60) are facing the Front Base Plate (54).

Bolts in the direction shown in Figure B to loosen
the Knife Holder from the Drum. The Bolts thread

Turn Bolts this
way to loosen
Knife Holder.
