ADJUSTMENTS
Fig. 9
Fig. 10
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 9.
The thickness scale, located on the right front of the planer,
shows the depth of the finished workpiece. Inaccurate cuts
can be prevented by routinely checking the alignment of the
thickness scale.
Plane a scrap piece of wood and measure the depth of
the finished piece.
If properly adjusted, the depth of the finished piece should
be the same as indicated on the thickness scale.
If out of adjustment, loosen the two screws holding the
scale indicator and adjust the thickness indicator to the
correct setting.
Retighten screws securely.
BLADE ADJUSTMENT
See Figures 10 - 11.
Tiny nicks may appear on the blades as a result of picking
up sand or other particles on a workpiece and then run-
ning the workpiece through the planer. Slight adjustments
can be made to one or both blades to offset such planing
imperfections.
Unplug the planer and remove the switch key.
Lower the cutter head assembly.
Remove the two thumb screws holding the dust hood in
place; remove hood and set aside.
Rotate the cutter head, which is most easily accomplished
from beneath the cutter head assembly.
• Using the planer table as a mirror, touch the threaded
spindle where it meets the planer table.
• Carefully move your fingers up the spindle until you
touch the drive belt.
• Turn the drive belt with your fingers until the cutter
head locks in place.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, NEVER rotate the cutter head by hand.
Using the open-end wrench, loosen the blade locking
bolts that secure the blade in the cutter head.
Push the notched end of the cutter blade on either the
left or right side to shift the blade as desired. The blade
can be shifted up to 3/64 in.
Retighten the blade locking bolts securely.
Replace dust hood; reinstall thumb screws to secure.
