Makita 1923B Planer User Manual


 
Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION
:
Always be sure that the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before removing or installing
the blade.
To
remove the blades on the drum, un-
screw the three installation bolts with the
socket wrench. The drum cover comes off
together with the
blades.
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.
Place
the blade on the gauge base
so
that
the blade 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.
