with a rag and inspect for the following:
•Make sure the threaded screw holes
contain no wood material or sawdust.
•Make sure that the hex socket and the
threads of all Allen®screws are in good
condition. Replace if questionable.
•Make sure any resin or glue build-up on
the cutterhead is removed so the knife
will sit flat on the cutterhead.
•Make sure any resin or glue build-up on
the knife is removed so the knife will sit
flat on the cutterhead if you reuse the
knife.
•Make sure the knife is free of cracks. If
any cracks exist replace both knives.
Wear heavy leather gloves when working with
or near the cutterhead and planer knives. The
knives are dangerously sharp and serious
injury may occur.
NOTICE
To maintain accurate and consistent planing
results, Woodstock International Inc. does
