Planer blade adjustment
(optional accessory)
To
install the blades, first clean out
all
chips or foreign matter adhering to the
drum or blades. Use blades of the same
dimensions and weight, or drum oscilla-
tion/vibration will result, causing poor
planing action and, eventually, tool break-
down.
Place the blade on the gauge base
so
that
the t.ade edge
is
perfectly flush with the
inside edge of the gauge plate. Place the
adjusting plate on the blade, then simply
press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush
with the back side of the gauge base and
tighten two screws on the adjusting plate.
Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate
into the drum groove, then fit the drum
cover on
it.
Tighten the three installation
bolts evenly and alternately with the
socket wrench.
