MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND EMPTY-
ING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 14.
After using the planer for an extended period of time or when
planing wet or green lumber, chips may build up in the chip
exhaust. Chip build-up restricts air flow and causes the mo-
tor to overheat. Clean the chip exhaust port and empty the
dust bag regularly.
Remove the dust bag from the exhaust port.
Clean the build-up from the exhaust port with a small
piece of wood. Do not use your hands or fingers.
Unzip the dust bag.
Empty all debris from the dust bag and ensure that the
collar is free of debris.
Replace the dust bag.
REPLACING BLADES
See Figures 15 - 16.
Always replace blades in pairs. Do not attempt to sharpen
blades. If the blades become dull, replace them.
When replacing the blades, use recommended replacement
blade only, RIDGID part number 671480001.
WARNING:
Blades are sharp. Use extreme caution when
replacing the blades. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious personal injury.
Remove the battery.
Secure the planer in an upside-down position.
Loosen the three screws securing the blade and blade
clamp on the blade holder using the blade wrench pro-
vided.
NOTE: Before removing the old blades, take notice of
the direction of cut as well as how the tapered edge of
the old blades are oriented. The tapered edge of the new
blades must be in the same orientation as the original
blades, with the tapered edge on the same side as the
screw heads and the flat edge facing the cylinder.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
