use a magnetic knife setter (magnetic adjuster,
lower cutter, item no. 7500-001-0051): Loosen
the chip breaker's lock screws and tighten the
knife's adjustable screws several turns. Rotate
the cutter so that the planing knife is in its up-
permost position. Place the magnetic adjuster
straight and in a V-shape on the planer table be-
hind the cutter so that the knife edge is directly
under the magnetic adjuster's magnets. Set up
the adjustable screws until you feel that the
knife is lifted by the magnet, so that it reaches
the correct level. Tighten the lock screws and
then carefully screw the adjustable screws so
that they x the knife in this position.
• Tighten the screws locking the knife in position
counter-clockwise (i.e. out of the keyway). Start
by tightening carefully. Move from the sides and
in towards the middle, retightening them later.
• Carefully screw the adjustable screws in the
bottom of the knife's recess. If you tighten these
too hard, the knife will crack.
After adjusting or replacing planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the
planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
