• 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.

Drive belt replacement
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making
adjustments or installing or removing blades.
5. To replace the drive belt first
take out the three cross-head
screws that secure the Drive
Belt Cover (8) on the left-hand
side of the planer as viewed
from the rear
Note: The front screw is longer than
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
