14 Daily Safety Checks

Attention! Disconnect from power before servicing.

The outfeed table must be exactly in line with the cutting circle of the planer blades. If too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table. If set too low, the cutterblock body can touch the workpiece and throw it back at the operator (increased danger of kickback). See para. 15.4.

The cutterblock guard must be ad- justable without having to exert too much force. Lubricate regularly. Re- place broken or defective parts of the cutter guard assembly at once. The cutterblock guard must not slide when locked in position. Replace lock lever immediately if worn.

The anti-kickback fingers of the recoil lock must fall down by their own weight. Clean recoil lock regularly to ensure they move freely. The tips of the anti- kickback fingers must be kept pointed and sharp.

15 Replacing/Setting the Planer Blades

Attention! Disconnect from power before servicing.

The outfeed table must be set 0.1 mm lower than the uppermost position of the blade.

To set, loosen counter screw A of the setting knob, than turn knob clock- or counter-clockwise to adjust the outfeed table position.
