Inspecting Knives

The Model W1747 Planer has a four-knife cutterhead. Because of normal use and wear, the knives must be periodically sharpened, replaced or adjusted. Adjustment from the factory must also be checked prior to use due to possible movement during shipment.

The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspected with a knife setting gauge or Planer Pal® (Model W1216). This inspection will ensure that the knives are protruding equally and are parallel with the cutterhead body.

To inspect the knives, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the top cover and dust port.

3.Place a knife gauge on the cutterhead, directly over a knife, as shown in Figure 17.

4.Carefully inspect how the gauge touches the cutterhead and the knife.

—If both outside legs of the gauge sit firmly on the cutterhead and the middle pad just touches the knife, then that knife is protruding the correct amount (.040"). (Repeat this inspection with the other knives.)

—If the gauge sits firmly on the cutterhead and the knife does not contact the middle pad, or if the knife contacts the middle pad but the feet rock, then reset that knife. (Repeat this inspection with the other knives before resetting.)

MAKE SURE that your machine is discon- nected during all service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious per- sonal injury may occur.
