While maintaining pressure on the knife
gauge, tighten (counterclockwise) the gib
bolts just enough to hold the knife in place.

Replacing Drive Belt

The drive belt transfers power from the motor to
the cutterhead, and is located on the right side of
the planer. The belt is very durable, but eventually
it may require replacement.

Phillips Screwdriver ........................................... 1
To replace the drive belt:
1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2. Remove the elevation crank, then remove the
top cover, which will allow the side panel to
be removed.
3.
Remove the two Phillips head screws from
the front and back of the right-hand side
panel, then lift the panel up and away from
the machine to expose the drive belt and pul-
leys, as shown in Figure 32.
