NOTE: If existing brushes do not need replacing, be sure to maintain the same
orientation when you reinstall them.
Calibrating the Depth Adjustment Scale (Fig. 22)
The depth adjustment scale (N) on your planer is set at the factory. However, with
extended use, the depth adjustment scale could show an incorrect measurement.
To check the depth adjustment scale, plane a piece of scrap wood, noting the
measurement on the depth adjustment scale.
Measure the finished thickness of the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece
does not match the reading on the depth adjustment scale, loosen the two

Circuit Breaker Reset Button (Fig. 23)
Your planer is equipped with an 18 amp circuit breaker. If your planer becomes
overloaded and stops operating, turn off the planer, let the unit sit for 2 minutes and
press the reset button (X) before you resume working.
WARNING: To prevent the planer from starting unexpectedly if power is interrupted
by a circuit breaker trip, make sure the switch is in the OFF position before restoring
power.
NOTE: Circuit breaker overload is often the result of dull knives. Change your knives on
a regular basis to avoid tripping your breaker. Check your knives before re-setting the
circuit breaker and continuing to plane.
See the Troubleshooting Guide on page 14 for additional information on circuit breaker
trips.
