WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the

tool is unplugged from the power supply and the

switch is in the OFF ( O ) position. Failure to heed

this warning could result in serious personal injury.

THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 16, page 25.

Located on the right front of the planer, the thickness scale

shows the depth of the finished workpiece. Inaccurate cuts

can be prevented by routinely checking the alignment of

the thickness scale.

 Table extensions must be level with planer table.

 Plane a scrap piece of wood then measure the thickness

of the finished piece.

 If properly adjusted, the thickness of the finished piece

should be the same as indicated on the thickness scale.

 If out of adjustment, loosen the scale indicator screws

holding the scale indicator and adjust the thickness

indicator to the correct setting.

 Retighten screws securely.

ADJUSTMENTS

BLADE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 17, page 25.

WARNING:

Always wear heavy leather gloves and use caution

when loosening blade locking screws and handling

and/or changing blades. Blades are sharp and can

cause serious injury.

Tiny nicks may appear on the blades as a result of picking

up sand or other particles on a workpiece and then run-

ning the workpiece through the planer. Slight adjustments

can be made to one or both blades to offset such planing

imperfections.

Unplug the planer.

Lower the cutter head assembly.

Remove the dust hood screws holding the dust hood in

place. Remove hood and set aside.

WARNING:

To avoid injury, NEVER rotate the cutter head by

hand.

 If cutter head is not locked, rotate until it locks.

NOTE: Rotating the cutter head is accomplished by

turning the dust exhaust fan with your fingers until the

cutter head locks in place.

Using the magnetic blade wrench, loosen, but do not

remove, the blade locking screws that secure the blade

in the cutter head.

Push the end of the cutter blade on either the left or right

side to shift the blade as desired. The blade can be shifted

up to 3/64 in.

Retighten the blade locking screws securely.

Replace the dust hood and reinstall dust hood screws to

secure.
