Location of controls. -4-G9004 Portable Planer BLADE ADJUSTMENT & REMOVAL Turn the switch off and unplug the Planer from power before attempting blade removal or any adjustments. Serious injury may occur if the unit should be accidentally started while checking or removing the blades. The Planer comes with the blades already installed. Check the blades before the first use to make sure they are set properly. To Check Blade Height Setting: 1. Lay a straightedge across the Rear Foot and the Cutterhead. Do not position the straightedge so it contacts the Front Foot. See Figure 2. Figure 2. Checking Blade height. 2. Rotate the Cutterhead manually with the exposed portion of the belt (right next to the Cutterhead). The tip of the blade at its highest point should just barely touch the straightedge. Move the straightedge back and forth across the width of the blade to make sure the amount of contact is the same all the way across. 3. If there is too much contact, or none at all, at any point across the blade, then the blade needs to be reset. Refer to Blade Installation Section. 4. Repeat procedure for the other Blade. To Remove the Blade Assemblies: 1. Using the belt pulley, rotate the Cutterhead so that one of the two Blade Holders is positioned in the opening in the base. 2. Use the supplied T-handle wrench to remove the three hex head bolts holding the Blade Assemblies to the Cutterhead. Hold the Cutterhead in position with the Belt Figure 3. Removing Blade Holder bolts. Pulley. See Figure 3. 3. Lift the Blade Holder and Blade Assembly off, being careful to not come in contact with the sharp edge of the blade. 4. Repeat procedure for the other Blade. G9004 Portable Planer -5 BLADE INSTALLATION Turn the switch off and unplug the Planer from power before attempting blade installation or any adjustments. Serious injury may occur if the unit should be accidentally started while installing the blade. The Blade must be mounted to the Back Plate using the Blade Setting Jig. Using this jig controls how far the blade extends from the Cutterhead once it is installed. 1. Place the Blade onto the Setting Jig. 2. Lay the Back Plate onto the top of the Blade, pushing it up firmly against the edge of the Jig. See Blade flush to this edge Back Plate flush to this edge Fig 4. Blade in position on Setting Jig. Figure 4. 3. Install two Phillips® head screws with washer and lockwasher through the slots on the Back Plate into the Blade. Tighten securely. 4. Set the Blade/Back Plate Assembly onto the Cutterhead. Make sure the bottom edge of the Back Plate is positioned into the slot on the Cutterhead. See Figure 5. 5. Set the Blade Holder over the Blade Assembly and line up the three mounting holes. Install three hex head bolts and washers, and tighten with the supplied T-handle wrench. 6. Repeat the procedure for the other blade. Make certain edge of back plate engages in slot in cutterhead Fig 5. Inserting blade assembly onCutterhead (Rear Foot removed for clarity). Never operate the Planer with only one blade installed. This will cause an imbalance of the rotating cutter- head and may allow the Planer to go out of control, possibly causing injury. G9004 Portable Planer -6 BLADE SHARPENING The Blade must be completely removed from the Planer and from the Back Plate in order for it to be safely sharpened. Follow the preceding instructions for Blade Removal. The blade set in the G9004 Planer is reversible, so that once one side becomes dull, the blade can be simply reversed to provide a new cutting edge. Once both edges become dulled, it will be necessary to sharpen them. For the best results, have planer blades sharpened by a professional sharpening service which has the grinding and measurement equipment to assure that the blade cutting geometry is maintained at optimum levels. It is a procedure which requires special equipment and precision, otherwise, a set of blades can be easily ruined. Knives should always be ground as a set so that an equal amount of material is removed which will maintain the balance of the cutterhead. The blades can be tuned up between major sharpenings using the Sharpening Jig supplied. Remove both Blades completely from the Planer. To Sharpen Blades: 1. Separate the Blade from the Back Plate by removing two Phillips® head screws. 2. Mount the two Blades onto the Sharpening Jig as shown in Figure 6. Planer blades are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening, or replacing blades into the cutterhead. Substantial...
