MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making
any adjustments or carrying out maintenance
• Any damage to this tool should be repaired and
carefully inspected before use, by qualified repair
personnel
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained
Cleaning and lubrication
• After use, vacuum the planer machine to remove wood
chips, sawdust and debris
• Use a cleaning solution (not included) to remove resin
and grease residue
• Remove sawdust, wood chips and grease from chains
and gears
• The bearings in motor and cutter head units are
factory-sealed and should require no further lubrication
• Four components require regular lubrication:
- Rollercase vertical screw mechanism (x2)
- Rollercase lock cam
- Rollercase vertical rails (x4)
- Feed roller chain drive
• Remove the top and both side panels to access these
components
• Clean the chain drive before lubrication. Use spray oil
(not included) to lubricate the chain. Allow time for the
lubricant to penetrate between the links, then wipe the
surface of the chain dry
• Remove any residues of grease from the other
components, using mineral spirits if necessary, then
apply a coat of light grade multi-purpose grease (not
included)
• The work table and extension table can be coated with
a very thin coat of lubricating wax (not included) to
protect the surface from rust and to facilitate smooth
feed during operation
Re-aligning the rollercase
• Test the blade alignment by
running two pieces through
each side (left and right) of
the planer
• Measure and compare
results to check that the
blades are correctly aligned
and/or to determine the
amount of correction
required
• To correct any misalignment:
1. Turn the planer off and
remove the plug from the
power source
2. Carefully place the planer on
its back
3. Remove the screws to the
horizontal spindle retaining
bracket on the Crank Handle
(9) side of the planer.
4. Carefully disengage the gears
5. Slowly rotate the crank handle to raise or lower the
rollercase as needed to re-position it on the vertical
screw
6. Rotate the crank handle forward or back as required in
order to correct the misalignment. Each complete turn
of the crank handle will make an adjustment of 0.15mm
(0.006")
7. Re-engage the gears and re-fit the horizontal spindle
retaining bracket
8. Carefully sit the planer upright again
9. Carry out a test run to check the rollercase is now level
10.Repeat the correction process if further adjustment is
necessary
Checking and replacing the blades
Inspecting the blades:
1. Locate the Blade Cover Panel (17) on the back of
planer. Loosen and remove the thumb screws on either
side and lift off the panel
2. Identify the cutter head inside, and the TWO sharp
blades on the cutter head
3. Without touching the blades, carefully turn the cutter
head until the self-engaging
latch clicks to lock the
cutter head.
4. Use the Hex Key (15) to
remove the six bolts on the
blade cover plate
5. Using the two Magnets (19),
carefully remove the blade
cover plate
6. Then use the magnets to
remove the blade
7. Inspect the blade for signs
of wear or damage. A blade
that is dull, worn, nicked,
torn or uneven can result
in poor performance such
as fuzzy, chipped or raised
grain, raised edge and
uneven cut
