10. Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for other blade.
Installing conventional planer blade (optional
accessory)
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the

For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing 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.

settings.

Although this side view cannot
show it, the edges of the blades
run perfectly parallel to the rear
base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel to rear
base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
fails to protrude enough in
relation to rear base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
protrudes too far in relation
to rear base line.
