power supply.
- Knives and tools which are not correctly sharpened, or in a bad shape, not only diminish the quality of the
work, but also increase the risk of accidents.

Changing and setting of the planer
knives (fig. 4)
When changing tools or when doing a maintenance job, the machine must always be disconnected from its
power supply.
In order to turn the planer arbor by hand, put the brake release switch (fig.3,S5) in position 1.
To avoid serious injuries when handling planer knives, the wear of safety gloves is highly recommended:
even blunt knives can cause serious damage to your hands !.
Make sure both planer knives and jib strips are well cleaned before putting them into the slots in the planer
arbor.
Take care of the springs underneath the knives, and see to it that they do not stay blocked inside their seats
in the arbor.
Now put the cleaned planer knive into the groove, pushing the knive down with the magnetic adjustment
gauge (2), and tighten the 2 outer bolts at each side.
Now tighten the remaining locking bolts, and repeat above for the other planer knives.
