CARBIDE BLADES |
| |
If the blades and/or holder are gummed and |
| |
difficult to remove, remove the clamping |
| |
jaws and screws and clean all surfaces with |
| |
mineral spirits; lacquer thinner or alcohol, as |
| |
this will ensure an accurate blade setting |
| |
and proper tool performance. (See | FRONT | |

|
To install, carefully slide the blades onto ridges on the blade holders.
To ensure proper operation and an even cut, the blades must be positioned so that they are:
• Centered relative to the front and rear shoes.
• Aligned with each other.
• Positioned so that they will not touch against any part of the planer when rotated.
•Evenly pressed back toward the holder to ensure that they are level.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.Align the groove on top of the blade with the ridge of the blade holder and carefully slide the blade onto the blade holder, as shown in Figure 6.
2. Using a block of wood push the TC blade back towards the blade holder so that the inner side of the blade is pressed against the sloping part of the blade holder. (This will ensure that the blades are level.)
3.Then tighten the Torx clamping screws using the correct tightening sequence
(1,2,3), as shown in Figure 4, and your planer is ready for use.
Blade Retainer Screws - Under normal circumstances, the position of the retainer on the mini TC blade holders does not require readjustment. If fact, the screws that attach the retainer to the blade holder are factory sealed with a yellow fastening compound that should not be disturbed. However, if you believe that adjustments must be made, proper adjustment is critical, and it is best performed by a Bosch Factory Service or Bosch Authorized Service Center.
