Replacing/removing
and installing planer blades
CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before installing or
removing planer drum.
Your planer is fitted with a removable drum feature for a
quick drum change, allowing you to safely install a set of
blades that may be suitable for you application. The planer
comes with an additional set of sharp blades.
Note: Always completely remove the planer drum prior to
installing new planer blades. For you own safety, it is not
recommended to remove the planer blades while the drum
is still installed in the planer.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before installing or
removing blades. Your planer is fitted with reversible blades.
Blades can be reversed when blunt. After both sides of the
blade have been used, they should be discarded.
Removing the planer barrel
1. Place the planer on its side so that the motor is facing down.
2. Raise the drum guard (22) (by
pressing on the lever) so that
the hex head screw located on
the blade barrel is exposed.
Insert the short end of the
supplied Allen key into the
head screw.
3. Press the drum spindle lock
button (21), and rotate the
barrel until it is locked into place. Hold in the lock off
button until the barrel has been completely removed.
CAUTION. The blades are very sharp. Take care when
handling them.
Note: The blade barrel has two lock out positions.
4. Loosen and unscrew the hex head screw
by rotating the allen key anti-clockwise.
5. When the hex head screw has been removed continue to
remove the two flat washers. Now that the barrel is free
proceed to extract it out of the planer body by pulling it
towards you. Then follow on and remove the blades.
Removing planer blades

you place padding around the
drum – like a cloth when putting
it in the vice.

(17), loosen the three clamping
screws. Slide the planer blade
from the slot in the blade barrel
in which it is retained.
