7. REBATING (See Fig. F)
The width of rebating cut (C) is adjustable by moving
the parallel guide (6). The depth of rebating cut (D) is
determined by moving the rebate (11), and the number
of passes made along the workpiece. Make sure that the
planer is guided with a lateral supporting pressure.
8. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (See Fig. G1-G4)
NOTE: Dull and worn blade cannot be reground and must
be replaced. Always replace blades in pairs.
WARNING! Remove power cord from the
socket before carrying out any adjustments or
changing blades. Always put on gloves when replacing
blades. Using the blade spanner provided to loosen
the three installation screws approximately 1/2 rotation
anticlockwise.
NOTE: Do not over-loosen the screws. If the screws are
too loose, the alignment of the new blade will not be
accurate.
Before removing the old blades, take notice of the
direction of cut as well as how the tapered edge of the old
blades are oriented. The tapered edge of the new blades
must be in the same orientation as the original blades.
Press the safety cover down with your finger. Push the
blade out with the tip of a spanner (or a screwdriver) and
then remove.
NOTE: There is no need to remove the blade clamp as
this will change the factory settings for cutting blade
height control.
NOTE: If a blade cannot be pushed out easily after
loosening the screws, use a piece of wood to break the
blade loose from the blade clamp, with a short sharp
blow. Then push with a screwdriver to remove the blades.
If necessary, tap the piece of wood sharply with a small
hammer to break the blades loose.
Before reinserting a new or reverse blade, always clean
both the blade and the blade seat if dirty. Slide the
blade into the clamp with a spanner (or a screwdriver)
in the correct orientation. Check the blade is level with
the clamp. Retighten the three blade screws with the
spanner.
