To Plane Bowed Wood (Fig. O)
The feed rollers and cutterhead in your planer will push
the bow out of the material as it feeds. However, when the
material exits the planer, the pressure of the rollers and
cutterhead will release allowing the wood to spring back
into a bowed formation. To properly remove the bow, use
a jointer.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Routinely check the tool for damage or broken parts.
2. Clean the top cover, dust shroud and all accessible areas
of the unit of dust and wood debris that have collected
in from planeing.
3. Wipe off infeed and outfeed rollers.
4. Clean base table. Light waxing will help wood material
pass through the planer.
5. Evaluate blade sharpness condition. Replace
as necessary.
6. Gauge Calibration, check thickness gauge calibration
and turret stop calibration.
7. Check brushes for wear and replace as necessary.
Changing or Rotating the Planer Knives
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, disconnect the planer from the power
source before attempting to change or access the
knives. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
To Change Planer Knives (Fig. P–U)
1. Use the T-wrench to remove the four screws in the top
of the planer.
2. Lift the top off (Fig. P) and place it aside.

3. Remove the three wing nuts that seal the dust shroud
over the cutterhead.
4. Rotate the dust shroud up so the round connection
that locks onto the fan housing is in the open position
(Fig. Q).

5. Push the dust shroud to the left so it disengages from
the fan housing.
6. Take the dust shroud out of the unit (Fig. R) and set
it aside.

7. The cutterhead is now exposed. If the eight screws in
the cutterhead clamp are not visible, use a piece of
scrap wood to carefully rotate the cutterhead (Fig. S)
until the screws are accessible and the cutterhead lock
lever

engages. This will prevent further rotation of
the cutterhead as you change the knives.
