Planer heads and spi-

ral cutters

Use only cutters which are sharp and undamaged. Blunt cutters increase the danger of kick-back and reduce the planing quality obtained.

The planer is equipped with planer head HK 82 SD as standard series. The planer head has inclined, fitted cutters, which is why the cutters cannot be reground.

a) Changing the planer head

Use the spindle stop (3.5) to lock the planer shaft and unscrew the allen bolt (3.1) from the planer head (3.4) using the allen key (3.6). Remove the planer head from the planer shaft.

Before fitting the new planer head clean the planer shaft to remove any dust residues.

The planer head can be fitted to the planer shaft in reverse order using the clamping flange (3.3), washer (3.2) and allen bolt (3.6).

b) Changing the planer blade

Use the allen key (4.1) to loosen the three allen bolts (4.5) in the planer head until the planer blade can be removed.

Before the new blade is fitted the cutter slot must be cleaned. This ensures that the cut- ter is automatically correctly adjusted after fitting.

Push the new planer blade (4.4) into the groove in the tool carrier with the labelled side facing towards the rear planer platen. Before you retighten the clamping screws use a ruler (4.2) to align the blade in such a way that its face lies flush with the front and rear planer platen (4.3). Finally tighten first the centre clamping screw and then two outer clamping screws.

Fitting the guides

The scope of delivery of the planer includes a rebating depth guide and a parallel guide.

a) Rebating depth guide

The rebating depth guide (5.1) is mounted in the threaded hole (5.2) on the front right of the machine. The stop can be infinitely adjusted to between 0 mm and 30 mm in ac- cordance with the scale. The rebating depth
