To reverse or replace the blade 16:
A. Loosen the clamping screws 20 with blade
wrench 17.
B. If necessary, loosen the blade clamp 19 by
giving it a light blow with a wooden wedge.
C. With the blade clamp 19 loosened, push the
blade guard 8 down.
D. Use a piece of wood to slide the blade 16
lengthwise out of the blade/cutter drum 18,
taking care to keep your fingers away from
the sharp edges of the blade (Fig. 3).
If the blade is gummed and difficult to remove,
you may clean the blade with mineral spirits,
lacquer thinner or alcohol.
Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new
blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade
setting and proper tool performance.
BLADE ALIGNMENT
The blade should be centered relative to the
front 13 and rear 9 shoes (Fig. 4). Rotate the
blade drum 18 by hand to verify that the blade

clean a clogged shavings diverter.

Shavings/dust bag 22 is suitable for small
volume tasks. It can be attached to either side
