Cutter Block & Blades
CAUTION! This procedure involves close contact with the planer
blades. Ensure that protective gloves are worn at all times to
prevent injury to hands.
Clean the blades, blade holders and cutter block to remove any traces of
resin, waste and debris as often as necessary.
Each blade is held in the cutter block by a blade holder which runs the full
length of the cutter block. The blade holder is secured in place by 4 blade
holder screws which are spread across the length of the holder as shown
in Fig. 12.27. Beneath the blade is a spring which pushes it upwards when
the screws are loosened.
Carefully turn the cutter block until the first blade is at top dead centre.
Loosen each blade holder screw enough to free the blade.
Ensuring protective gloves are worn, carefully lift the blade from the cutter
block holding at each end as shown in Fig. 12.28.
Carefully clean the blade, blade holder and also the recess that
houses them.
Refit the blade to the correct height as described in the Adjusting the
Height of the Blades section of the manual.
Repeat the above process on the remaining 2 blades.
