CHIP ExTRACTION

The planer comes with two chip exhaust ports, which may be used with a chip bag or a shop vacuum and vacuum connector (Fig. 2) to keep your work environment cleaner. The chip bag or vacuum connector may be attached to either the left or right side of the exhaust port.

PLANER BLADES

The planer blades are sharp ! WARNING and fragile and must be

handled carefully to avoid injury to the user or damage to the blades.

The planer blades have two cutting edges, and may be reversed when one of the cutting edges becomes dull or chipped.

Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened used blades of any kind. Use only blades designated for use with this model, because other blades will cause vibration, decrease perfomance and may not clamp securely in blade holder.

BLADE WRENCH & STORAGE AREA

When the battery pack has been removed from the the tool, there is a blade wrench that is conveniently located inside the handle base where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost or misplaced (Fig. 3).

REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADES

To reverse or replace the blade, loosen the clamping screws with blade wrench. With the screws loosened, slide the blade lengthwise out of the cutter drum, taking care to keep your fingers away from the sharp edges of the blade (Fig. 4).

A piece of wood may be used for this purpose. If the blade is gummed and difficult to remove, you may clean the blade with mineral spirits, lacquer thinner or alcohol.

Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade setting and proper tool performance.

BLADE ALIGNMENT

The blade should be centered relative to the front and rear shoes. (Fig 5.) Rotate the blade drum by hand to verify sure that the blade doesn’t touch to any other part of the tool.

Make sure the blade sits correctly in the holder groove of the cutter drum.

You may then tighten the clamping screws which secure the blade and your planer is ready for use.
