REPLACING KNIVES FOR 40700-CT
WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE.
WARNING!
*** Be VERY CAREFUL when handling the knives or cutter tips as they are
EXTREMELY SHARP and can cause serious injury!!! ***
WARNING! NEVER GRASP THE CUTTERHEAD BY HAND!
The knives supplied with the planer have an edge on both sides of the blade enabling you to flip
the knives over when one edge becomes dull or pitted. To change:
1.
The knife removal tool (A) is supplied with your planer and attached underneath the outfeed
table (B) with Velcro (C), you can storage the tool when it's not in use. SEE FIG 6 on the
following page.
2.
Use the raise/lower handle to lower the cutterhead assembly down to 1".
3.
Remove the cutterhead guard (A) by removing the thumb screws (B). SEE FIG 7 on the
following page.
4.
Rotate the cutterhead with the supplied Hex wrench (A). Rotate the cutterhead using the
wrench to the position where the sharp edge of the blade is not visible from your sight angle.
SEE FIG 8 on the following page.
5.
Using the supplied torx wrench (B), unscrew the six screws (C) just enough so that the
locking bar (D) separates from the knife (E), allowing the knife to be removed. Do not
completely remove the screws. Insert the magnetic knife removal tool (F) underneath the
center of the locking bar. SEE FIG 8 & 9 on the following page.
6.
Lift the tool up until the knife separates from the pins and remove the knife.
7.
Rotate the knife 180 degrees so that the edge of the knife that was facing you is now facing
away from you and reinsert the knife. If you have already used both edges of the knife,
replace the knife at this time.
8.
Place the magnetic knife removal tool on top of the knife. Make sure that the tool is centered
on the knife.
9.
Place the knife on the pins in the cutterhead and remove the knife removal tool.
10.
Retighten the six screws that were loosened in step 5 above.
11.
Repeat this process for the remaining knife.
NOTE: When placing the knives on the pins, you will notice that there is some slight side to side
movement available in the knife. This is normal as it allows for repositioning of the knives in case
one of the knives gets a nick in it.
