Turning/ChangingKnives
The Model W1675 features a 2 knife, quick
change cutterhead system with double-sided,
disposable knives. The knives have been
installed at the factory and no adjustments are
needed prior to using the planer.
As your planer gets used, the knives will need to
be routinely inspected, turned around, and
eventually replaced. After both sides are dull,
install new knives.
To remove the knives do these steps:
1. Unplug the planer!
2. Use a Phillips®screwdriver and remove the
three screws that secure the dust port to
the planer, and remove the dust port. See
Figure 15.
3. Use the T-handle Allen®wrench and remove
the two screws, and remove the chip
deflector as shown in Figure 16.
4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley from the
underside of the planer until the lock lever
secures the cutterhead into position. See
Figure 17.
Figure 15. Remove the screws and dust port.
Wear heavy leather gloves when working with
or near the cutterhead and planer knives. The
knives are dangerously sharp and serious
injury may occur.

Do not grab the cutterhead
for any reason and be very
careful working around the
cutterhead. The knives are
extremely sharp and
severe injury may occur!
Keep your machine
unplugged during any
assembly, adjustments, or
maintenance procedures.
Ignoring this warning may
result in serious personal
injury!
