Replacing a blade:
• Replace blades in pairs only
• Never mix blades with different degrees of wear or use
a blade where unbalanced wear from side to side is
evident
1. Use the Magnets (19) to pick up and place the new
blade onto the cutter head
2. Position the blade so that it sits securely on the two
pins
3. Use the magnets to transfer the cover plate back onto
the blades
4. Re-fit the cover plate so that the six fixing holes are
aligned with the holes on the cutter head
5. Tighten and secure with the six bolts
Inspecting and replacing the second blade:
1. To access the other blade,
gently pull and hold the
latch on the side of the
cutter head to release it
2. Once the cutter head
rotates, release the latch
3. Without touching the blades,
carefully turn the cutter
head until the self-engaging
latch clicks to lock the head
again
4. Repeat the blade changing procedure to check and
replace the second blade
Checking and replacing the brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may
become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power,
intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• Brush life varies, depending on the motor loads.
Inspection of the brushes after every 100 hours of use
is recommended
• Replace the brushes if the length of carbon has been
worn to less than 9.5mm (3/8"), or if the springs are
worn, or if you have noticed a loss of performance in
the motor
• Replace with new parts only, and always replace both
brushes
1. Unscrew the Brush Access Caps (14) on either side of
the motor
2. Remove the brushes and check for wear
3. Insert new brushes if required, and re-fit the brush
caps
Replacing the drive belt
• Inadequate tension in the belt drive will cause the belt
to slip. A loose belt must be replaced
1. Turn the planer off and
remove the plug from the
power source
2. Remove the crank handle,
then loosen and remove the
Side Panel Retaining Screws
so that you can move the
side panel out of the way.
This will allow you to gain
access to the belt drive
3. Remove the old belt by
alternately walking the
belt off each of the pulleys.
Gently pull the belt outward
while turning the pulleys at
the same time
4. Replace with a new belt
by walking the belt onto
the pulleys in the reverse
manner used for removing
the worn belt
5. Ensure the belt is evenly seated on the pulley grooves
6. Replace and secure the side panel and crank handle
