If adjustment is necessary, proceed as fol- lows:
1.Use the 10mm wrench and loosen the lock- ing nuts and set bolts underneath each extension wing.
2.Hold a straightedge across the bed and both wings, and turn the adjustment bolts so the wings are parallel to the table.
3.Without turning the set bolts, tighten the lock nuts. Recheck to ensure consistency from
Knife Setting
The Model G0505 is equipped with a 2 blade cut- terhead. The blades are locked in position by a knife locking bar with seven bolts that are angled to put pressure on the assembly when they are tightened. A set of two springs under each blade pushes up to keep the blade portion exposed. The knife setting gauge is used to push down on the blade to set it to the proper height.
To remove the knives:
1.Disconnect the planer from the power source!
2.Lower the cutterhead as far as it will go.
3.Remove the chip deflector.
4.Use the provided 8mm wrench to loosen the gib bolts in the knife locking bar. Turn clock- wise to loosen bolts and free the knife! (See Figure 15)
5.Slide the knife out of the cutterhead. Use care when handling
6.Repeat steps
