Replacing The Planing Blades - Westfalia 81 80 51 Bedienungsanleitung

Replacing the Planing Blades

Attention! The planing blades are sharp. There is risk of injuries. Do not touch the
edges of the planing blades.
1. Before undertaking any work on the
electric planer, pull the power plug.
2. The planing blades (16) are clamped into
notches in three blade shafts (17) with
their blade carriers (B). Loosen the clamp-
ing screws (15) by screwing them counter
clockwise (the clamping screws will be
screed into the blade carrier).
3. Press down the blade shaft guide (12)
inwards and push out the planing blade
only (with a small wooden wedge or dull
tool) by pushing the blade out to the side
from the carrier. Or, preferably for better
handling, 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 imbalance. Replace-
ment planing blades can be ordered under the article no. 22 78 92.
Do not try to re-sharpen blunt planing blades!
On the right 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).
6. Turn the blade shaft carefully by hand
and make sure the planing blades do not
touch anything.
