MAINTENANCE

Sharpening the planer blades

For conventional planer blades only
Always keep your planer blades sharp for the best per-
formance possible. Use the sharpening holder (optional
accessory) to remove nicks and produce a fine edge.
► Fig.19: 1. Sharpening holder
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert
the planer blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the
sides (C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.

Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes
before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the both
blades contact the dressing stone for simultaneous
sharpening at the same angle.

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the chip cover or nozzle.
