driver (not included) to remove the two Carbon Brush Caps (35). Then, remove
the two Carbon Brushes from the Brush Holders (38). If a Carbon Brush is worn
down more than 1/2 of its original length, replace
both
Carbon Brushes. If, how-
ever, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by rubbing them
with a pencil eraser. When installing the Carbon Brushes, make sure the carbon
portion of the Carbon Brushes contact the Motor Armature, and that the springs
face away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate freely. After
cleaning or replacement, replace the Carbon Brush Caps with a screwdriver and
tighten firmly. (See Assy. Diagram.)
Caution: Use caution as blades are very sharp.
4. To reverse or replace the Blades: The Planer is equipped with two
reversible
Blades (57). Do not attempt to sharpen the Blades. Always reverse or replace
the Blades as a
set
in order to avoid an imbalance of the Blade Holder (59). To
reverse or replace the Blades, use an open end wrench to loosen the three Hex
Head Screws (60) that secure the Blades, Press Blade Plate (56), and Blade
Holder to the Blade Shaft (63). Slide the Blades lengthwise out of the Blade
Shaft, using a piece of wood to avoid cuts to your fingers. Once the Blades have
been removed, clean the Blades, Press Blade Plate, Blade Holder, and the Blade
Shaft thoroughly before installing the reversed or new Blades to allow for a more
accurate Blade setting. When installing the reversed or new Blades, it is impor-
tant that they be properly adjusted so that they align evenly with the Front Base
Plate (54) and Rear Base Plate (61). Slide the Blades lengthwise into the Blade
Shaft, using a piece of wood. Place a straight edge or piece of wood along the
side surfaces of the Front Base Plate and Rear Base Plate. Then, slide the
Blades against the straight edge or piece of wood. Finally, use an open end
wrench to retighten the three Hex Head Screws that secure the Blades, Press
Blade Plate, and Blade Holder to the Blade Shaft. (See Figure H.)
