Drive belt replacement
CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making
adjustments or installing or removing blades. Also ensure
planer is in park and during blade replacement keep hands
well away from the blade barrel area. It is also suggested
that you wear leather gloves to change the belt in case you
make contact with the blades.
1. To replace the drive belt first take out the five cross-head
screws that secure the drive belt cover on the left-hand
side of the planer as viewed from the rear.
2. Remove the damaged belt and use a soft brush to clean
the pulleys and the surrounding area.
Note. Wear eye protection when cleaning out the pulley area.
3. With the four 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.
4. Check that the belt runs evenly by manually turning the belt.
5. Replace the cover and the five fixing screws.
6. Replace the electrical plug and run the planer for a
minute or two to make sure that the motor and belt are
operating correctly.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with compressed air or a dry, soft to medium brush like a
paint brush.
CAUTION. Wear protective goggles when cleaning the tool.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or a
power tool repair centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
