d. Centre the carbide blade (Y) under the
blade carrier (Z) making sure the blade is
clear of the tool housing on both sides.
e. Securely tighten the three star head screws
(R) to the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
NOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide
blades, the blade carrier (Z) required for carbide
blades is available at additional cost from your local

WALT authorised service centre.

Kickstand (Fig. 9)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand (AA) that
automatically lowers when the tool is lifted from the
work surface allowing the planer to set on the work
surface without the blade touching it. When planing,
the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward
through the material. If the kickstand obstructs
special planing work, it can be stored and locked
out of the way.
WARNING: Be sure that the kickstand
is correctly extended when setting the
planer on a work surface.
Edge Chamfering (Fig. 10)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering
groove (BB) in the front shoe for planing along a
corner of the wood. The width of the groove is 4.5
to 8 mm. It's a good idea to try a piece of scrap
wood before doing finish work.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 1, 11A, 11B)
Your planer has a built-in AirLock connection
(Fig. 11A, L) which allows either a dust bag or a
shop vacuum to be connected. The built-in outlet
utilizes the D
WALT AirLock connection system
e
making it compatible with the D
extractor.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar
onto the AirLock connection (L) as shown in
Figure 11.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag
by sliding it off the AirLock connection (L).
2. Twist the chip deflector (Fig. 11B, EE) away
from the dust bag to separate.
3. Gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
4. Reattach the dust bag back onto the AirLock
connection.

You may notice that all the dust will not come
free from the bag. This will not affect planing
performance but will reduce the planer's dust
collection efficiency. To restore your planer's dust
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the
dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the
side of a dustbin.
