SHARPENING PLANER BLADES
Although
a
power planer considerably out-
performs an ordinary hand plane, by the
same token the blades become dull faster.
Always keep your blades sharp for the best
performance possible. Use the sharpening
holder (photo) to remove nicks and pro-
duce
a
fine edge.
First, loosen the 2 wing nuts on the holder
and insert blades
A
and B
as
in
figure
at
right,
so
that they contact side
C
and
D.
Then tighten wing nuts.
Immerse dressing stone in water for
2
or
3
minutes before sharpening. Hold the holder
so
that blades both contact the dressing
stone for simultaneous sharpening
at
the
same angle. Stock removal
is
possible up to
7.5 mm (5/16"). Blades may be used down
to24.5"
(1").
MAINTENANCE
Carbon brushes
Replace carbon brushes when they wear
down to about 6 mm (1/4") or sparking
will occur. Both brushes should be changed
at
the same time.
