Replacing planer blades

CAUTION:
• Handle the blades very carefully when removing or
installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from the
blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are
razor-sharp.
• Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adhering
to the drum or blades before installing the blades.
• Use blades of the same dimensions and weight , or
drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor cutting
action and eventually, tool breakdown.
• Replace both blades at the same time.
• The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge on both
sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull, you can
use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt
sticking to the reverse side of the blade before using the
other cutting edge. This blade must not be re-
sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the
blade should be carefully thrown away.
