Always change both blades at the same

selves. Use blades of the same dimensions
and weight, or the barrel will oscillate and vi-
brate causing poor planing action and possibly
a machine breakdown. Tighten the clamping

to the planer. A loose clamping screw could be
extremely dangerous. Regularly check to see
they are tightened securely.
NOTE.
Your planing surface will end up rough and
uneven unless the blades are set properly and se-
curely. The blades must be mounted so that the
cutting edge is absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the

3. If it is necessary to accurately determine the
depth of cut, plane a scrap piece of wood,
measure the difference in thickness and adjust
the setting if necessary.
