Make sure the zipper on the bag is fully closed. To fit the dust bag,
simply insert the tube end of the bag into the dust extraction outlet.
There are two dust extraction outlets on opposite sides, and the
dust bag can be inserted into either one, with the other covered by
the dust extraction cover. Then switch on and start planning.
CLEANING DUST EXHAUST OUTLET AND EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
After using your planer for an extended period of time or when
planning wet green timber, chips may build-up in the dust exhaust
outlet and require clearing. Chip build-up restricts air flow and
causes the motor to overheat. Turn off the planner and remove
the dust bag from the dust exhaust outlet. Clean the chip and dust
exhaust outlet of your planer with a small piece of wood. Do not
use your hands or fingers. Unzip the dust bag and empty all chips
from it. Ensure collar is free from debris.
We recommend emptying the dust bag every 3-6 minutes.
9. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (SEE FIG. J-M)
NOTE: Dull and worn blade cannot be reground and must be
replaced. Always replace blades in pairs.
WARNING: Remove power cord from the socket before
carrying out any adjustments or changing blades. Always
put on gloves when replacing blades.
Using the blade spanner provided to loosen the three installation
screws approximately 1/2 rotation anticlockwise.
NOTE: Do not over-loosen the screws. If the screws are too loose,
the alignment of the new blade will not be accurate.
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.
Press the safety cover down with your finger. Push the blade out
with the tip of a spanner (or a screwdriver) and then remove.
NOTE: There is no need to remove the blade clamp as this will
change the factory settings for cutting blade height control.
NOTE: If a blade cannot be pushed out easily after loosening the
screws, use a piece of wood to break the blade loose from the
blade clamp, with a short sharp blow. Then push with a screwdriver
to remove the blades. If necessary, tap the piece of wood sharply
with a small hammer to break the blades loose.
Before reinserting a new or reverse blade, always clean both the
blade and the blade seat if dirty. Slide the blade into the clamp with
a spanner (or a screwdriver) in the correct orientation. Check the
blade is equal with the clamp. Retighten the three blade screws
with the spanner.
Repeat the above procedure to change the other blade.
After the blades are replaced, check if the blades are parallel and
in the same surface as the rear base plate with a ruler. If not, you
can adjust the blades with the hexagonal wrench provided. Firstly
loosen the three screws on the blade clamp. Turn the socket head
screw clockwise, the blade will be risen. Turn it anticlockwise, the
blade will be lowered down. Finally retighten the three screws fully.
10. REPLACING A DRIVE BELT (SEE FIG. N, O)
WARNING:
• Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
• The cutting blades will be turning and may cause injury.
• Always put on gloves when operation.

Loosen the screws and remove the belt cover. Remove the worn
drive belt from the large pulley and the pinion and clean them. Lace
the new belt on the top of the pinion and turn it manually, press it
on the large pulley. Make sure that the drive belt runs exactly along
the length grooves of the pinion and the pulley. Replace the belt
cover. Install the cover screw and tighten fully.
11. CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING (SEE FIG. P)
Your planning 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 rear base. Fig. P shows
some examples of proper and improper settings.
(A) Front base (Moveable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)
1)Correct setting
Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blade run
perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.
2) Nicks in surface
Cause: one or both blades fail to have edge parallel to rear base
line.
3) Gouging at start
Cause: one or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation
to rear base line.
4) Gouging at end
Cause: one or both blade edges protrude too far in relation to rear
base line.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep
the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the mains
plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the sanding
paper. If the sanding paper has been worn, replace the new
paper and try again. The paper must be kept in a dry place, if
it is allowed to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose
their adhesion to the backing paper and will not abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The sanding paper may
be loose, damaged or wrinkled. Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectified return the sander to an authorized
dealer for repair.
