Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION
:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before removing or installing
the blade.
The blade
is
secured with four bolts.
Re-
move the inner two bolts entirely with
the socket wrench and loosen the outer
two bolts two turns
each.
Press
down on the pin in the middle of the
drum with one end of the socket wrench
handle. The blade can be pushed and
jiggled out
so
as
to be removed. (If the
blade becomes
so
short that
it
cannot be
grasped,
you
must remove the four bolts
and the drum cover. Then push the blade
out with one end
of
the socket wrench
handle.)
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-
tionhibration will result, causing poor
planing action and, eventually, tool break-
down.
Insert the blade, holding both ends,
so
that
it
protrudes from between the blade holder
and the drum. Then secure the four bolts
only finger-tight.
