Sharpening the blades
For conventional planer blades only
Always keep your blades sharp for the best perfor-
mance possible. Use the sharpening holder to remove
nicks and produce a fine edge.

First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert
the blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides
(C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.
