ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 15.
Located on the right front of the planer, the thickness scale shows the depth of the finished workpiece. Inaccurate cuts can be prevented by routinely checking the alignment of the thickness scale.
Table extensions must be level with planer table.
Plane a scrap piece of wood then measure the depth of the finished piece.
If properly adjusted, the depth of the finished piece should be the same as indicated on the thickness scale.
If out of adjustment, loosen the scale indicator screws holding the scale indicator and adjust the thickness indicator to the correct setting.
Retighten screws securely.
BLADE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 16.
Tiny nicks may appear on the blades as a result of picking up sand or other particles on a workpiece and then run- ning the workpiece through the planer. Slight adjustments can be made to one or both blades to offset such planing imperfections.
Unplug the planer.
Lower the cutterhead assembly.
Remove the dust hood knobs holding the dust hood in place; remove hood and set aside.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, NEVER rotate the cutterhead by hand.
Using the hex key, loosen the blade locking screws that secure the blade in the cutterhead.
Push the notched end of the cutter blade on either the left or right side to shift the blade as desired. The blade can be shifted up to 3/64 in.
Retighten the blade locking screws securely.
Replace the dust hood and reinstall dust hood knobs to secure.
