Operation

The examples below show proper and improper

settings:

• Correct setting - clean smooth cut.

• Nicks in surface – as caused by the edge of one or all

blades not being parallel to the surface of the rear base.

• Gouging at start – as caused by the edge of one or all

blades not protruding enough in relation to the surface

of the rear base.

• Gouging at end – as caused by the edge of one or all

blades protruding too far in relation to the surface of the

rear base.

WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making

adjustments or installing or removing blades.

take out the three cross-head

screws that secure the Drive

Belt Cover (8) on the left-hand

side of the planer as viewed

the other two. Take care to replace

this screw in the same hole when replacing the cover.

6. Remove the damaged belt by pulling it sideways off

the top pulley and turning the bottom pulley by hand.

Use a soft brush to clean the pulleys and the surround-

ing area

Note: Wear eye protection when cleaning out the pulley

area.

7. With the six continuous “v” proﬁles on the inside, place

the new belt over the bottom pulley. Half ﬁt the other

end of the belt on the top pulley then roll the belt in

place whilst turning the pulley

8. Check that the belt runs evenly by manually turning

the belt

9. Replace the cover and the three ﬁxing screws ensuring

that the longer screw is located in the hole at the front

of the cover

10. Plug the machine back into the power outlet and

switch the tool on and run for a minute to make sure

that the motor and belt are operating correctly
