13.3.1 Procedure for Changing the Knives

Changing or turning the cutting inserts is very simple:
• Unscrew the Torx screws of the cutting insert and remove it from the socket.
• Clean the insert holder with the accessories included in the set.
• If the plate is to be turned over, clean it from all sides
(the plates are numbered for better orientation).
• Now replace the cutting insert or turn it to the position of the next number.
Then tighten it with the torque spanner until it locks into place.

Only use the PANHANS service set for spiral cutter shafts to change and turn the cutting inserts.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by a deviating or improper procedure!

13.3.2 Advantages of the PANHANS Spiral Cutter Block

1. When using a spiral cutter block its "pulling cut" significantly improves the cutting quality and thus the planing
result.
2. Another advantage is the simplified knife replacement due to segmentation and reduced knife changing times.
In the case of minor damage or blunt spots, it is usually sufficient to simply turn or replace the cutting inserts
at the damaged spots. It is not necessary to replace the entire blade.
3. A spiral cutter block produces much smaller chips and thus additionally protects the extraction unit.
4. The use of a spiral cutter block ensures lower power consumption and also reduced noise emission.

spanner. The set is supplied in a practical storage case.
