Blade (#19)

Shoe Assembly

Rabbeting

Step 1: Install FENCE as described above

Step 2: Determine the width of the desired rabbet.

Step 3: Using a ruler or other suitable device, set the fence so that only the necessary amount of the cutterhead will plane the stock.

Step 4: Set the DEPTH KNOB to the desired cutting depth.

Chamfering

Chamfering is a delicate, free-hand operation. Practice on old stock before using on valuable workpieces. The FENCE must be removed when chamfering.

Step 1: The FRONT FOOT (#32) as a V-groove to aid in this operation. Each side of the V-groove must rest against the sides of the corner to be chamfered. In other words, the corner of the stock and the V-groove must fit together.

Step 2: Do not allow cutterhead to engage stock until it has reached full speed.

Step 3: Engage motor and move planer slowly forward so that the cutterhead begins to plane. Use slightly more pressure on both handles, move the planer very slowly, and keep a steady hand.

MAINTENANCE

Removing & Sharpening Blades

Both BLADES (#19) must be sharpened (or replaced) at the same time. To remove BLADES do the following:

Step 1: Remove the three BOLTS (#23) on the cutterhead assembly.

(See Figure 3.)

Step 2: Remove the BLADE HOLDER (#21).

Step 3: Gently pry up on the BLADE and remove it from the CUTTER BLOCK (#16). Be careful, as the blade is sharp.

Step 4: Loosen the two SCREWS (#24) and set them and the BACK PLATE (#20) aside.
