Beveling
To cut
a
bevel,
set
the fence
at
the required angle and run the workpiece across the blades
while keeping
it
firmly against the fence and tables. Carefully maintain flush, steady con-
tact with the fence while making the cut.
REPLACING THE PLANER BLADES
Dull blades can cause
a
rough finish, an overload of the motor and dangerous kickback of
the workpiece. Sharpen or replace dull blades immediately. This tool
is
equipped with
either throw-away blades or standard blades. The method of replacing the blades differs
depending upon the type of the blade. Follow the correct method for your tool.
CAUTION
:
*Always be sure that the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before removing or installing
the blades.
0
Handle the blades very carefully when removing or installing the blades to prevent cuts
or injury from the blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are razor-sharp.
0
Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades before
installing the blades.
0
Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result,
causing poor cutting action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
Replace both blades
at
the same time.
.The throw-away blade has
a
cutting edge on both sides. When one cutting edge becomes
dull, you can use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt sticking to the
reverse
side
of
the blade before using
the
other cutting edge. This blade must not
be
re-
sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the blade should be carefully thrown
away.
