Inspecting Cutterhead, Gib, and Knives
1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2. Carefully clean the cutterhead with a rag and
with a flashlight, inspect the following:
• Make sure the threaded screw holes do
not contain wood material or sawdust.
• Make sure that the hex socket and the
threads of all cap screws are in good con-
dition. Replace if questionable.
• Make sure any resin or glue buildup
on the cutterhead, gib, and knives is
removed so the knife and gib will sit flat
on the cutterhead.
• Make sure the knives are free of cracks.
If any cracks exist, replace both knives.
4. Remove (6) M6-1 x 16 cap screws from gib
using 4mm hex wrench.
5. Use included magnets to remove gib, then
knife.
