Shavings extraction

3.When set at right angles to the planer base, the fence provides a guide to help control the planing action.

Note. The fence can be fitted to either side of the base.

Note. The angle graduations marked on the fence are for indicative purposes only. For

accurate bevel cutting it is necessary to measure the angle of the fence, make a trial cut and adjust if necessary.

1.The dust/chip extraction port (6) allows connection to a vacuum dust extraction system.

2.Using the dust extraction adaptor (18) permits a dust extraction system to be connected to the dust extraction port (6).

3.To fit the adaptor (18) insert it into the port (6) and twist it clockwise until it locks into position.

Removing and installing planer blades

CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before installing or removing blades.

1.Using the supplied spanner (19), loosen the five clamping screws (11).

2.Remove the planer blade (9) from the slot in the blade barrel (10) in which it is retained.

Installing a planer blade

1.The blades are reversible as they have a cutting edge on both sides. If a blade edge is worn or damaged, the blade can be removed and put back the other way around.

Either turn over the planer blade (9) or replace it if required.

2.Slide the good blade face up into the blade support block of the blade barrel (10).

Note. If only one blade is damaged, it can be replaced without the need to replace the other two blades. When blades are worn, they must be replaced as a set of three to prevent unbalanced operation with consequential dangerous vibration and possible damage to the tool.

Note: The ridge along the blade should be on the blade face on the opposite side to the clamping screws (11).

Your planer is fitted with reversible blades. Blades can be reversed when blunt. After both sides of the blades have been used they should be discarded.

Note: These blades cannot be re-sharpened.

Removing a planer blade

CAUTION. The blades are very sharp. Take care when handling them.

3.Tighten the clamping screws (11), in the following manner.

Tighten the two outside clamping screws snug tight, then the next two screws, then the middle screw.

Working in the same order, fully tighten all five screws.
