8.Continue pressure on the side of the belt and rotate the large pulley while hopping the belt further onto the pulleys, as shown in Figure 24.

Calibrating the Depth Adjustment Scale
The depth adjustment scale on your planer is set at the factory. However, with extended use, the depth adjustment scale could show an incorrect measurement.
TO CHECK THE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT SCALE
1.Plane a piece of wood, noting the measurement on the depth adjustment scale.
2.Measure the finished thickness of the workpiece.
3.If the thickness of the workpiece does not match the reading on the depth adjustment scale, loosen the two cross head screws (R) shown in Figure 25.
4.Adjust the pointer up or down until its reading matches the finished thickness of the workpiece. Securely
Leveling the Table Extensions
After extended use, the table extensions might become slightly out of level. To ensure that the tables are level, place a straight edge on the table extension. The straight edge should contact the edge of the table extension and the main table (Fig. 7). When leveling, press the edge of the table extensions down to remove any play. For best results, use a level long enough to contact the edges of both table extensions.
If the table extensions are not level, loosen the jam nuts (T) and adjust the table extension support bolts (S) up or down (Fig. 26).
NOTE: The outside edges of the extension tables are level with the base while the inside edges (closest to the cutter head) are below the edge of the base. This is set at the factory to reduce unnecessary friction between the material
and the table while providing adequate support at the two points (those farthest from the cutter head) on the tables that are integral to snipe prevention.
TABLE
Keep the table clean and free from oil, grease and pitch. Treat the table with paste wax to help maintain its smooth finish.
Circuit Breaker Reset Button (Fig. 27)
Your planer is equipped with an 18 amp circuit breaker. If your planer becomes overloaded and stops operating, turn off the planer, let the unit sit for 2 minutes and press the reset button (U) before you resume working.
WARNING: To prevent the planer from starting unexpectedly if power is interrupted by a circuit breaker trip, make sure the switch is in the OFF position before restoring power.
NOTE: Circuit breaker overload is often the result of dull knives. Change your knives on a regular basis to avoid tripping your breaker. Check your knives before

Brushes
Inspect carbon brushes regularly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior to its removal.
Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into their sides, and if the brushes are worn down to the line closest to the spring, they must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes.
New brush assemblies are available at DEWALT service centers. After replacing brush assemblies, the tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load) for 10 minutes to seat new brushes before using.
TO REMOVE BRUSH ASSEMBLY (FIG. 28)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
1.Remove the brush inspection cap (V).
2.Withdraw the brush assembly.
