Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or the barrel will oscillate and vi- brate causing poor planing action and possibly a machine breakdown. Tighten the clamping VFUHZVFDUHIXOO\ZKHQDWWDFKLQJWKHEODGHV to the planer. A loose clamping screw could be extremely dangerous. Regularly check to see they are tightened securely.

NOTE. Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven unless the blades are set properly and se- curely. The blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the VXUIDFHRIWKHUHDUEDVH
