Inspecting Knives
The Model W1754 Planer has a four-knife cutterhead.
Because of normal use and wear, the knives must be peri-
odically sharpened, replaced or adjusted. It is always wise
to check knife adjustment before first time use.
The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspect-
ed with a knife setting gauge or Planer Pal
®
(Model W1216,
Page 21
). This inspection will ensure that the knives are
protruding equally and are parallel with the cutterhead
body.
To inspect the knives, do these steps:
1.
DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2.
Remove the dust hood and top cover.
3.
Put on leather gloves and place a knife gauge on the
cutterhead, directly over a knife, as shown in
Figure
20
.
4.
Carefully inspect how the gauge touches the
cutterhead and the knife.
— If both outside legs of the gauge sit firmly on the
cutterhead and the middle pad just touches the
knife, then that knife is protruding the correct
amount (0.060" to 0.070"). Repeat this inspection
with the other knives.
— If the gauge sits firmly on the cutterhead and the
knife does not contact the middle pad, or if the
knife contacts the middle pad but the feet rock,
then reset that knife. Repeat this inspection with
the other knives before resetting.
