Sharpening planer blades
Always keep your blades sharp for the best
performance possible. Use the sharpening
holder to remove nicks and produce a fine
edge.
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the
holder and insert the blades (A) and (B), so
that they contact the sides
(C)
and (D).
Then tighten the wing nuts.

Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2
or 3 minutes before sharpening. Hold the
holder so that the blades both contact the
dressing stone
for
simultaneous sharpen-
ing at the same angle.
