Replacing planer blades

CAUTION:
• Handle the blades very carefully when removing
or installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury
from the blades and to prevent damage to the
blades. They are razor-sharp.
• Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter
adhering to the drum or blades before installing
the blades.
• Use blades of the same dimensions and weight
, or drum oscillation/vibration will result, caus-
ing poor cutting action and eventually, tool
breakdown.
• Replace both blades at the same time.
• The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge
on both sides. When one cutting edge becomes
dull, you can use the other cutting edge. Always
remove resin and dirt sticking to the reverse
side of the blade before using the other cutting
edge. This blade must not be re-sharpened.
When both cutting edges become dull, the blade
should be carefully thrown away.
Removing blades
Loosen the thumb screw which secures the chip cover
and remove the chip cover. Remove the screws which
secure the right side cover. Then remove the right side
cover. Turn the pulley until the drum can be locked in
the position whereby the blade installation bolts face
upward.
