ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and un-
plugged from the power supply before making adjustments or installing or removing blades.
7. Slide the blade with the good side up into the blade retainer of the
blade drum (Fig. 13 - 1).
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. Make sure that the blade is in the center of the blade
drum.
8. 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 retainer 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. 14).
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 clamping
screw can be extremely dangerous. Check regularly to make sure that all six clamping screws are tightened
securely.
