6.Clean the Knife Holder. Carefully examine the Knife Holder for loose parts or signs of damage. Replace if damaged.
7.Install new Knife (8c). If the old knife is in good condition, the Knife can be flipped and the second edge can be used instead. The groove in the knife should face away from the Knife Holder Bolts (8d).
8.Insert Knife Holder all the way into the slot in the Drum. Make sure that it is installed in the same orientation as earlier and the same orientation as the other knife.

9.Turn the three Knife Holder Bolts in the direction shown in the picture to the upper- left to secure the knife holder in place. Only snug the Bolts for now.
10.Set the Depth Adjustment Knob (24) to 0 (shown on illustration on next page). Have an assistant hold a straightedge (sold separately) against the bottom of the Rear Base Plate (43). Adjust one Knife Adjustment Set Screw (8e) until the knife just touches the straightedge on that side - see illustration to the upper right. Adjust the other Knife Adjustment Set Screw until the Knife just touches the straightedge on that side also.
11.Turn the three Knife Holder Bolts firmly in the direction shown to the upper left to secure the knife holder in place.
12.Rotate the Drum 180° and change and adjust the other knife at the same time ac- cording to the steps above.
13.IMPORTANT! Carefully double check that the Knives and Knife Holders are secure and that the Knives are level before use.
Note: If a knife is adjusted to cut farther than the Rear Base Plate (43) then it may create burned spots on the wood. If a knife is adjusted to not cut deeply enough, then the planer will not be able to travel smoothly across the wood.
