4.Insert knife transfer tool (G) Fig. 21, underneath center of knife. Lift the knife transfer tool up until knife
(H) separates from pins (J) and pull out and remove knife as shown. NOTE: Knife transfer tool is magnetized, allowing it to attach to knife.
5.Rotate knife (H) Fig. 22
6.Remove knife transfer tool and tighten the six screws at
(F) Fig. 23, using wrench (E) supplied.
7.Replace other knife by rotating head 180 degrees and repeat steps 3 through 6.
8.Attach the cutterhead guard (B) Fig. 24 to the planer by inserting the end of the guard over the top of the cutterhead. Place the slots in the cutterhead guard (C) over the tapped holes (O). Fasten cutterhead guard (B) Fig. 25 to planer using two knobs, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 25.
MACHINE USE
When using your machine, follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results.
1.True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire surface is flat.
2.Plane to Thickness – Place the side you planed in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer, (Fig. 26). Plane until this side is flat, then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness. Make thin cuts, and alternate sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping, or bowing, repeat STEP 1 and true up one face.
3.When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.

4.Plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation.
5.
The knives on the planer will not wear evenly if the wood is fed through the same spot on the table every time. Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives.
