determined by moving the Rebate, and the number of
passes made along the workpiece. Make sure that the
plane is guided with a lateral supporting pressure.
8. USING THE DUST BAG (See Fig. I)
Your planer is equipped with a dust bag for collection
of wood chips in the work area.
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 coverd by the
dust extraction cover. Then switch on and start planing.
CLEANING DUST EXHAUST OUTLET AND
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
After using your planer for an extended period of time
or when planing 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 planer 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, K, L,
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
