MAINTENANCE
Otherwise, the resulting imbalance can cause vibration
and poor planing action while shortening the life of the
blade and the tool.
The planer blades are reversible. When one of the
cutting edges becomes dull or chipped the blade can be
reversed. When both cutting edges have been used the
blades should be discarded.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened blades of
any kind. Use only blades designated for use with this
model, as other blades may not clamp securely in blade
holder, causing vibration and a decrease in performance.
• Use the wrench supplied to loosen all clamping screws.
