8. Use the T-wrench to remove the eight screws on the knife clamp
and set them in the small screws bin (S) on the front panel of the
planer (Fig. 5).
9. Use the magnets on the top of the T-wrench to attract the knife
clamp and lift it off of the cutter head. One of the knives should
now be exposed.
10. Use the magnet (T) on the top of the T-wrench (Fig. 6) to attract
the knife. Avoid touching it with your fingers.
If only one side of the knife is worn:
1. Turn the knife around so that the sharp, unused edge hangs over
the end of the cutter head where it will cut the material. Be sure
to set the oblong holes in the knife over the pins machined on the
cutter head.
2. Reset the knife clamp over the knife. Be sure to align the beveled
edge on the clamp with the sharp, cutting edge of the knife. If
these are not aligned correctly, the clamp will not secure the knife
properly.
3. Install the screws into the clamp and tighten sufficiently.
To access the other two knives:
1. Depress the cutter head lock lever (R) as shown in Figure 4.
2. Use the piece of scrap wood to carefully turn the cutter head until
it locks into place revealing another knife clamp.
3. Follow the same knife change procedure indicated above.
4. Repeat the procedure for the last dull knife.
After installing new knives:
1. Insert the round end of the dust shroud into the fan housing and
rotate it down to lock it into place.
2. Place the three wing nuts back into the shroud.
3. Screw the top cover of the planer back onto the unit.
NOTE: THE PLANER WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE TOP COVER IS
NOT PLACED CORRECTLY.
