It is important that the blade sits flush with the

 

inside flank of the gauge plate, the planer blade

 

locating lugs sit in the blade groove and the heel

 

of the adjusting plate is flush with the back side of

 

the gauge base. Check this alignment carefully to

 

ensure uniform cutting.

Slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove

 

of the drum.

2.To install the blades, loosely attach the adjusting plate to the set plate with the pan head screws and set the mini planer blade on the gauge base so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate.

3.Set the adjusting plate/set plate on the gauge base so that the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini planer blade groove, then press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten the pan head screws.

6.Set the drum cover over the adjusting plate/set plate and screw in the three hex flange head bolts so that a gap exists between the drum and the set plate to slide the mini planer blade into position. The blade will be positioned by the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate.

7.The blade's lengthwise adjustment will need to be manually positioned so that the blade ends are clear and equidistant from the housing on one side and the metal bracket on the other.

8.Tighten the three hex flange head bolts (with the socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum to check clearances between the blade ends and the tool body.

9.Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tightness.

10.Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for the other blade.

For the correct planer blade setting

Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base.

Refer to some examples below for proper and improper settings.
