oriented. The tapered edge of the new blades must be in the
same orientation as the original blades.
Press the safety cover down with your finger. Push the
blade out with the tip of a spanner (or a screwdriver) and
then remove.
NOTE: There is no need to remove the blade clamp as
this will change the factory settings for cutting blade height
control.
NOTE: If a blade cannot be pushed out easily after
loosening the screws, use a piece of wood to break the
blade loose from the blade clamp, with a short sharp
blow. Then push with a screwdriver to remove the blades.
If necessary, tap the piece of wood sharply with a small
hammer to break the blades loose.
Before reinserting a new or reverse blade, always clean
both the blade and the blade seat if dirty. Slide the blade
into the clamp with a spanner (or a screwdriver) in the
correct orientation. Check the blade is equal with the clamp.
Retighten the three blade screws with the spanner.
Repeat the above procedure to change the other blade.
After the blades are replaced, check if the blades are
parallel and in the same surface as the rear base plate with
a ruler. If not, you can adjust the blades with the hexagonal
wrench . Firstly loosen the three screws on the blade clamp.
Turn the socket head screw clockwise, the blade will be
risen. Turn it anticlockwise, the blade will be lowered down.
Finally retighten the three screws fully.
9. REPLACING A DRIVE BELT (See Fig. M, N)
WARNING:
1.
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
2.
The cutting blades will be turning and may cause
injury.
3.
Always put on gloves when operation.
Loosen the screws (E) and remove the belt cover. Remove
the worn drive belt from the large pulley and the pinion and
clean them. Lace the new belt on the top of the pinion and
turn it manually, press it on the large pulley. Make sure
that the drive belt runs exactly along the length grooves of
the pinion and the pulley. Replace the belt cover. Install the
cover screw and tighten fully.
10. CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING
(See Fig.O)
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless
the blade is set properly and securely.
The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is
absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear
base. Fig.O shows some examples of proper and improper
settings.
EN
(A) Front base (Moveable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)
1) Correct setting
Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the
blade run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.
2) Nicks in surface
Cause: one or both blades fails to have edge parallel to rear
base line.
3) Gouging at start
Cause: one or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in
relation to rear base line.
4) Gouging at end
Cause: one or both blade edges protrude too far in relation
to rear base line.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
