Replacing a blade:
Note: Replace blades in pairs only
Note: Never mix a new blade with an old blade on the cutter head. Never mix
blades with different degrees of wear. Never use a blade where unbalanced wear
from side to side is present and never use blades other than the blades specified
by the manufacturer
1. Use the Magnets (19) to pick up and place the new blade onto the cutter head
2. Position the blade so that it sits securely on the two pins
3. Use the magnets to transfer the cover plate back onto the blades
4. Re-fit the cover plate so that the six fixing holes are aligned with the holes on
the cutter head
5. Tighten and secure with the six bolts
Inspecting and replacing the second blade:
1. To access the other blade, gently pull and hold the latch on the side of cutter
head to release it (Image H)
2. Once the cutter head rotates, release the latch
3. Without touching the blades, carefully turn the cutter head until the self-
engaging latch clicks to lock the head again
4. Repeat the blade-changing procedure to check and replace the second blade
Checking and replacing the Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or
visible sparking
• Brush life varies, depending on the motor loads. Inspection of the brushes after
every 100 hours of use is recommended
• Replace the brushes if the length of carbon has been worn to less than 9.5mm
(3/8"), or if the springs are worn, or if you have noticed a loss of performance
in the motor
• Replace with new parts only, and always replace both brushes
• To inspect and replace the brushes:
1. Unscrew the Brush Access Caps (14) on either side of the motor
2. Remove the brushes and check for wear
3. Insert new brushes if required, and re-fit the brush caps
Replacing the Drive Belt
• Inadequate tension in the belt drive will cause the belt to slip. A loose belt
must be replaced
1. Switch the planer off and remove the plug from the power source
2. Remove the Crank Handle (9), then loosen and remove the Side Panel
Retaining Screws (2) (Image I) so that you can move the side panel out of
the way. This will allow access to the belt drive (Image J)
3. Remove the upper pulley cover (Image K)
4. Remove the old belt by alternately walking the belt off each of the pulleys.
Gently pull the belt outward while turning the pulleys at the same time
(Image L)
Note: To turn the drive belt pulleys, it will be necessary to hold the red self-
engaging latch, so the pulleys do not become locked into place.
5. Replace with a new belt by walking the belt onto the pulleys in the reverse
manner used for removing the worn belt
6. Ensure the belt is evenly seated on the pulley grooves
7. Replace and secure the side panel and Crank Handle
