MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only iden ti cal replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, turn off the tool, remove the
switch key, and unplug the planer before performing
any maintenance or adjustment.
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.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
LUBRICATION
Periodically, check all moving parts (spindle, roller surfaces,
handles, etc.) to ensure they are clean and well lubricated. A
light film of oil wiped on the face of the cutter blades will keep
them rust-free. All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life
of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further
lubrication is required.
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
The universal motor is easy to maintain but must be kept
clean. Do not allow water, oil or sawdust to accumulate on
or in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and
need no further attention.

BLADE REPLACEMENT
See Figure 12.
The planer is equipped with two double-edged blades
(replacement part number AC8630) attached to a rotating
cutter head. Worn blades will affect cutting accuracy and
may produce ridges on the workpiece.
TO REPLACE:
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 dust hood and set aside.
NOTE: With the dust hood removed, the cutter head lock
will engage when the head is rotated. Do not operate the
planer without the dust hood in place or the planer will
be damaged.
Rotate the cutter head until the lock engages. This will
correctly position one of the blades for removal.
NOTE: Rotating the cutter head is accomplished from
beneath the cutter head assembly. Using the planer table
as a mirror, touch the threaded spindle on the right side
of the planer where it attaches to the planer table. Care-
fully move your fingers up until you touch the drive belt.
Turn the drive belt with your fingers until the cutter head
locks into place.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter head by hand.
