CHIP ExTRACTION
The planer comes with two chip exhaust ports,
which may be used with a chip bag or a shop
vacuum and vacuum connector (Fig. 2) to keep
your work environment cleaner. The chip bag
or vacuum connector may be attached to either
the left or right side of the exhaust port.

PLANER BLADES

The planer blades are sharp
WARNING
and fragile and must be
handled carefully to avoid injury to the user
or damage to the blades.
The planer blades have two cutting edges, and
may be reversed when one of the cutting edges
becomes dull or chipped.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened
used blades of any kind. Use only blades
designated for use with this model, because
other blades will cause vibration, decrease
perfomance and may not clamp securely in
blade holder.
BLADE WRENCH & STORAGE AREA
When the battery pack has been removed from
the the tool, there is a blade wrench that is
conveniently located inside the handle base
where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost
or misplaced (Fig. 3).
REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADES
To reverse or replace the blade, loosen the
clamping screws with blade wrench. With the
screws loosened, slide the blade lengthwise out
of the cutter drum, taking care to keep your
fingers away from the sharp edges of the blade
(Fig. 4).
A piece of wood may be used for this purpose.
If the blade is gummed and difficult to remove,
you may clean the blade with mineral spirits,
lacquer thinner or alcohol.
Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new
blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade
setting and proper tool performance.
BLADE ALIGNMENT
The blade should be centered relative to the
front and rear shoes. (Fig 5.) Rotate the blade
drum by hand to verify sure that the blade
doesn't touch to any other part of the tool.
Make sure the blade sits correctly in the holder
groove of the cutter drum.
You may then tighten the clamping screws
which secure the blade and your planer is ready
for use.
