For tool with conventional planer blades (Fig. 4 - 6)
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover
comes off together with the blades.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the
same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration
will result, causing poor planing action and, eventually,
tool breakdown.
Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade edge
is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge plate.
Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply press
in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of
the gauge base and tighten two screws on the adjusting
plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the
drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it. Tighten all the
installation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket
wrench.
Repeat the above procedures for the other blade.
