Removing or installingminiplaner blades
CAUTION
:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before removing or installing
the blade.
To remove the blade, loosen the three
installation bolts with the socket wrench.
Remove the blade by carefully sliding
it
from on the end of the drum.
WARNING:
Be extremely careful not to be cut by the sharp edges.
To install the blade, slide it inward from
the end of the drum into the gap between
the drum and the
set plate. Adjust the
blade lengthwise
so that the bladeends are
clear
of the housing. Tighten the three
installation bolts securely with the socket
wrench. Adjust the front base to
its highest
position (maximum depth of cut) by turn-
ing the knob onthe front of the tool clock-
wise. Place the triangular rule flush on the
rear base. To check for proper blade pro-
trusion, rotate the drum in the cutting
direction by turning the planer drive belt
while lightly holding the triangular rule flush against the rear base. The triangular rule
flush against the rear
base. The triangular rule will be lifted very slightly and will be
moved forward (toward the front base). The triangular rule should move forward 1-
5 mm (3/64"-13/64"). Check the blade protrusion at both ends of the blade. The tri-
angular rule should move forward equally at both ends. If the blade does not protrude
properly, use the bladegauge toadjust the blade protrusion.
Repeat the same proceduresfor the other blade on the drum.

NOTE :
A miniplaner blade has a cutting edge on bothsides, making it reversiblefor double blade
life and greater convenience.
CAUTION :
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the tool. A
loose installation boltcan be dangerous. Always check to see they are tightenedsecurely.
Bladeadjustmentusing blade gauge
Unscrewthe three installation bolts.
Remove the drum cover, the mini blade
and the adjusting plate/set plate. Loosen
the
two screws on the adjusting plate. Set
the mini blade on the blade gauge so that
the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly
flush with the inside edge of the blade
gauge.
Set the adjusting platehet plate on
the blade gauge and over the miniblade
so
that the blade locatinglugs on the set plate
rest in the mini blade groove. Press in the
heel
of the adjusting plate flush with the
back edge of the blade gauge. Tighten the
two screws on the adjustingplate.
Fit the heel of the adjusting plate into the
groove of the drum. Place the drum cover
over the adjusting plate/set plate. Screw in
the three installation bolts
so that a gap
exists between the drum and the
set plate
to allow the mini blade to slide into posi-
tion. Follow the
same installation pro-
cedures covered in "Removing or installing
mini planer blades".

For the correct planer blade setting
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 reat base. Beloware some examples of proper and improper
settings.

(6) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

Planingoperation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the
workpiece surface without the blades mak-
ing any contact. Switch on and wait until
the blades attain full speed. Then move the
tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the
front of tool
at the start of planing, and at
the back at the end of planing. Planing will
be easier if you incline the workpiece in
stationary fashion, so that you can plane
somewhat downhill. The speed and depth
of cut determine the kind of finish. The
power planer keeps cutting
at a speed that
will not result in jamming by chips. For
rough cutting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for
a good finish you should
reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
Shiplapping
To make a stepped cut as shown at the right, use the edge
fence.
8

You may wish to add to the length of the
fence by attaching an extra pieceof wood.
Convenient holes are provided inthe fence
for this purpose, and also for attaching an
extension guide (optional accessory).
I I
NOTE :
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece.
Otherwiseunevenplaning may result.
Max. shiplapping depth
is 9 mm (1 1/32").
Chamfering
To make a cut as shown at the right, align the "V" groove in
the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it as
shown inthe figure (A).
MA1NTENANCE
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unpluggedbefore attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
The tool will stop when the carbon brushes wear to
a certain length. When this occurs,
bothcarbon brushes should be replaced.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection and
