REPLACING THE BLADES (FIG. R–U)
WARNING: Make sure that the cutting blades are
properly adjusted. Do not allow the blades to
protrude from the cutterhead by more than 1.1 mm.
NOTE: Before installing the knife, ensure the cutterhead and
knife are free of debris; clean if needed.
1. Position the cutterhead (34) as shown in Figure T.
2. Place the blade in the cutterhead and ensure that the
head of the height adjustment screw (31) (Fig. T) locates
into the blade slot.
3. Loosen the seven screws (30) , (32) (Fig. R) on the
blade clamp against the blade a little bit to allow the blade
to be adjusted for height.
4. Place the gauge (16) (Fig. T) on the cutterhead as
close as possible to the height adjustment screw (31)
while still allowing movement of the hex key.
5. Turn one height adjustment screw (31) with the hex
key until the blade tip touches the gauge (16) (Fig. U).
Repeat the procedure with the other height adjustment
screw. Check to ensure the blade height is even. Repeat
this procedure if needed.
6. Tighten the two end clamping screws (32) (Fig. R) to
8.0 Nm.
7. Remove the gauge and tighten the five middle
clamping screws (30) (Fig. R) to 8.0 Nm.
8. Press the cutterhead locking lever (33) (Fig. S) and
slowly rotate the cutterhead until the other blade can be
replaced following the above procedure.
INSTALING THE TOOL TRAY(FIG.Q)
To install the tool tray after replacing the blades, fasten the
two screws (29)with 1.2 - 2.4N.m. torque. Also make sure
the buckles shown in the circle are assembled under the
motor housing.
REPLACE THE TIMING BELT (FIG. Y–Y4)
♦ Loosen and remove flower pan head screw M6 x 12
(22). Remove the cutter head adjustment handle (1).
♦ Remove four hexagon socket flat head screws (36)
from the top panel (37) of the planer.
♦ Lift the side panel (38) (located on the cutter head
adjustment handle side) up out of the slot in the base
and remove the side panel (38) from the machine.
♦ Cut off the old timing belt (39) with the scissors (42)
(not supplied) and remove it.
♦ Start a new timing belt (39) on the top pulley (40) with
the grooves on the top pulley, as shown in Fig.Y3.
♦ Guide the belt to the lower pulley (41); with grooves
engaged on the lower pulley, rotate the lower pulley
clockwise. Keep pressure on the edge of the belt to
keep the grooves engaged on the top pulley.
♦ Continue pressure on the side of the belt and rotate
the lower pulley while hopping the belt further onto
the pulleys.
♦ All of the belt grooves should be engaged in the final
position shown in Fig. Y4 and the pulleys should
rotate smoothly.
♦ Replace the belt cover, side panel and top panel. Do
not overtighten the screws.
NOTE:
No tools are necessary to install a belt. The use of a
screwdriver or other tool to pry or stretch a belt may cause
damage to the pulleys and ultimately destroy the new belt.
