To Change Blades (Fig. A, I–L)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle
with great care.
CAUTION: Be sure that the blades are mounted as
described in the instruction manual.
CAUTION: Inspect blades, carriers, guide bars, screws
and drum covers for straightness and defects. Do not
use any components that are suspect in any way.
CAUTION: Carefully tighten all screws when attaching
blades to the tool. Always check to make sure they are
tightened securely.
CAUTION: Use planer blades of the same weight and
dimensions, otherwise drum vibration/oscillation
could cause poor planing action and tool breakdown
can result.
The planer is capable of using high-speed steel and carbide
blades. Be sure to check the planer to verify which blade it is
fitted with.
