Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before removing or installing the blade.
To remove the blades on the drum, un- screw the three installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover comes off together with the blades.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscilla- tionhibration will result, causing poor planing action and, eventually, tool break- down.
Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply press in the heel of the adjustingplate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it. Tighten the three installation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket wrench.
