Shear-Tec II Knife Rotation/Replacement- 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The knife inserts on the Planer are four-sided. When dull, remove each knife, rotate it 90° for a 
fresh edge, and re-install it. No further adjustment is necessary. 

Use a Torx wrench (T25)

 to 

remove the knife insert screw. Use a second Torx wrench to hold the cutterhead (from rotating) in 
position (in another screw). DO NOT USE YOUR HAND TO HOLD THE CUTTERHEAD!  
(See Figure to the Right.).  

 

 

 

 

CAUTION!-

 

KNIFE INSERTS ARE DANGEROUSLY SHARP. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN 

INSPECTING, REMOVING, OR REPLACING KNIFE INSERTS.

 

WARNING!- 

 

TURN PLANER OFF AND DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE 
OR ADJUSTMENTS! 

 

 

MAKE SURE ALL KNIFE INSERT SCREWS ARE TIGHTENED SECURELY. LOOSE INSERTS CAN BE 
PROPELLED AT HIGH SPEED FROM A ROTATING CUTTERHEAD, CAUSING INJURY. 

 

TORQUE EACH SCREW TO 52-60 IN/LBS or 231-267 Newtons. 

 

KNIVES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING KNIVES. FAILURE TO 
COMPLY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
