Changing Fuses
Disconnect planer from power source, and open the electrical enclosure. Pull open the cover on a fuse holder, as shown in Figure 7, and slide out the old fuse. Replace it with a new one of the proper amperage. Close the cover.
Do not use a fuse with amperage rating different than what is listed on the cover of the fuse holder.
Changing Knives
The planer has a TersaTM Monobloc cutterhead. Knife changing is simple, and the
Do not loosen any screws on the cutterhead.
1.Push brake release button (see Figure 5). The brake release light will come on.
2.Pull out on the lever at the right side of the machine, and raise the hood.
After prolonged use of the planer, the cast iron frame and areas around the cutterhead may be hot.
3.Disconnect machine from power source.
4.Rotate the cutterhead to gain access to a knife. Use the provided brass punch to gently tap down the segmented gibs, as shown in Figure 8. This will release the knife.
5.Align the knife and carefully slide it through the hole in the side of the bearing casting (Figure 9).
6.To install a new knife (or the same knife reversed for a new edge), insert it through the hole. Make sure the knife is properly seated upon the bead (Figure 8) and the ends are not protruding past the ends of the cutterhead. When the machine is started later, the gibs will automatically secure the knife in place.
7.Repeat this procedure for the other three knives.
8.Lower the hood and reconnect power to the machine. Press the brake release button (Figure 5). The warning light will go out.
