Replacing the Planing Blades

Attention! The planing blades are sharp.
There is risk of injuries. Do not touch the
edges of the planing blades and wear
gloves when handling the blades.
1. Before undertaking any work on the
planer remove the battery.
2. The planing blades (16) are clamped
into notches in three blade shafts
(17) with their blade carriers (B).
Loosen the clamping screws (15) by screwing them counter
clockwise (the clamping screws will
be screwed into the blade carrier).
3. Press down the blade shaft guide
(12) inwards and push out the plan-
ing blade only (with a small wooden
wedge or dull tool) by pushing the
blade out to the side from the carri-
er. Or, preferably for better han-
dling, remove the whole blade carrier. The planing blades
have cutting edges on both sides and can be changed when
becoming blunt.
4. Turn over the planing blades or replace them.
Always replace all planing blades in order to avoid any imbal-
ance. Replacement planing blades can be ordered under the
article no. 93 24 84.
Do not try to re-sharpen dull planing blades!
On the picture you can see the correct position of the planing
blade on the blade carrier.
5. Prior to use the electric planer again check the tight fit of the
clamping screws (15).
