plate (X) with the grooved side of the carbide blade facing up.
Either edge of the reversible carbide blade can be set flush
against the gauge plate inside wall (Y).
b. Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade so
that the rib on the blade carrier (AA) fits into the groove on the
carbide blade (Z). The heel of the guide bar (W) will over-hang
the end of the gauge plate (X).
c. Loosen the two cross-shaped screws (V) with a screwdriver.
d. Simultaneously hold the blade carrier (AA) and blade (Z)
against the gauge plate inside wall (Y) while holding the heel
of the guide bar (W) against the back edge of the gauge plate.
Securely tighten the cross shaped screws (V).
3. To Replace the Blade (Fig. 12A, 12B)
a. Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly from
the gauge plate (X) and place the heel of the guide bar (W) into
the groove on the drum (T).
b. Place the drum cover (S) over the blade carrier/guide bar
assembly. Loosely screw the three star head screws (R) into
the drum (T) so that there is a small gap between the drum
and the blade carrier (AA).
c. Slide the carbide blade between the drum (T) and the blade
carrier (AA) from the side so that the rib on the blade carrier
sets into the groove in the blade.
d. Center the carbide blade (Z) under the blade carrier (AA)
making sure the blade is clear of the tool housing on both
sides.
e. Securely tighten the three star head screws (R) to the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
NOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades, the blade
carrier (AA) required for carbide blades is available at additional cost
from your local D WALT authorized service center.

Sharpening High-
Speed Steel Blades
(Fig. 13)
CAUTION: Planer blades are
extremely sharp. Handle with great
care.
NOTE: Carbide blades cannot be
sharpened.
1. Fasten the blades
sharpening holder (BB). Make
sure both blade edges (U) are
facing the same direction.
2. Place the blade edges so they
rest flat on the grinding stone (not
included).
3. Firmly grip the sharpening holder and move it back and forward
to sharpen the blades (U).
Kickstand (Fig. 14)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
(CC) that automatically lowers when
the tool is lifted from the work surface
allowing the planer to set on the work
surface without the blade touching it.
When planing, the kickstand raises as
the tool is pushed forward through
the material. If the kickstand obstructs
special planing work, it can be stored
and locked out of the way.
CAUTION: Be sure that the kickstand
is correctly extended when setting the planer on a work surface.
