MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile
solvents to clean the planer.
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical
shock, unplug the power cord before working on the tool.
For your safety, this tool is double-insulated. To avoid
electrical shock, fire or injury, use only parts identical to
those identified in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the
original assembly to avoid electrical shock.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (Fig. 17)
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50
hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4” length
of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or
burned. To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the tool.
Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the
motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously, because it is
spring-loaded. Then pull out the brush and replace.
Replace for the other side. To reassemble reverse the
procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go
in the same slots the carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap
snugly, but do not overtighten.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the
brushes go back in the way they came out. This will avoid
a break-in period that reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
REPLACING V-BELT
Inadequate tension in the V-belt will cause the belt to slip
from the motor pulley or drive pulley. A loose belt must
be replaced. To replace V-belt:
䢇 Turn planer OFF and unplug from power source.
䢇 Loosen and remove screws on right panel.
Remove panel.
䢇 Remove old belt by walking the belt from motor
and drive pulleys alternatively. Gently pull the belt
while turning the pulleys at the same time.
䢇 Replace with new belt. Walk the belt onto the
pulleys in the reverse manner as when removing
the belt.
䢇 Make sure the belt is evenly seated all the way on
the motor and drive pulley grooves.
䢇 Replace and secure right panel.
LUBRICATION
䢇 Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and
need no lubrication.
䢇 Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of
debris and grease
䢇 The tables can be coated with a lubricant such as
furniture wax, to make the workpiece feed
smoother. Make sure the lubricant used does not
affect the ability to finish the workpiece with
varnish, sealer, etc. Do not use any silicone-base
lubricants.
CLEAN PLANER
Keep planer clean. After 10 hours of operation, remove
wood chips, dust, dirt and debris.
