7. Slide the blade with the good side up into the blade retainer
of the blade drum (Fig. N). NOTE: The flat side of the blade
should be facing the front of the planer and the ridged side of the
blade should be facing the back of the planer.
8. To ensure an even cut, the blade should align with the outside
edge of the front and rear shoes. Place a straight edge along the
outside edge of the front and rear shoe (Fig. O). Slide the planer
blade to just contact the straight edge so that it is in line with the
outside edge of the shoes.
9. The blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is abso-
lutely level (parallel to the surface of the rear shoe). Check that
both ends of the blade protrude out evenly from the blade re-
tainer of the blade drum.
NOTE: The planed surface will end up rough and uneven if
blades are not set properly or securely.
10. Tighten the clamping screws using the blade wrench, ensuring
that all three screws are tightened evenly (Fig P).
11. Repeat steps 2 - 10 for the installing/changing the second
blade. It is important to reverse or replace the two blades at the
same time so they are balanced with one another. Both blades
should be set to the same cutting level and alignment, otherwise
the planed surface will be rough and uneven.
CAUTION: Tighten all clamping screws carefully
when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose clamp-
ing screw can be extremely dangerous. Check regularly
to make sure that all six clamping screws are tightened securely.
