High-speed Steel Blades

1.	To Remove Blade from Planer
	a. Loosen and remove the three hex head screws (J) with the 5 mm hex wrench
	provided. Remove the drum cover (K) from the drum (Q).
	b. Cautiously remove the guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly.
2.	To Adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate (provided with tool)
	a. Place the guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly on the gauge plate (N)
	with the cutting edge of the high speed steel blade flush against the gauge plate

Parking Foot (Fig. 11)

Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (S) that automatically lowers into place when the tool is lifted from the work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises as the tool is pushed forward. When the parking foot is lowered, the planer can set on the work surface without the blade touching.

Edge Chamfering (Fig. 12)

Your planer has three precision machined chamfering grooves (T) in the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood (Fig. 12). The width of the grooves are 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 2.5 mm. It’s a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood before doing finish work.
