G9003 Portable Planer

BLADE INSTALLATION
The Blade must be mounted to the Back
Plate using the Blade Setting Jig. Using
this jig controls how far the blade extends
from the Cutterhead once it is installed.
1. Place the Blade onto the Setting
Jig.
2. Lay the Back Plate onto the top of
the Blade, pushing it up firmly
against the edge of the Jig. See
Figure 4.
Turn the switch off and unplug the
Planer from power before attempting
blade installation or any adjustments.
Serious injury may occur if the unit
should be accidentally started while
installing the blade.
Never operate the Planer with only
one blade installed. This will cause
an imbalance of the rotating cutter-
head and may allow the Planer to go
out of control, possibly causing
injury.

Plate into the Blade. Tighten

Assembly onto the Cutterhead.

Back Plate is positioned into the
