XTline XT106372, User Manual

REMOVING OR INSTALLING PLANER BLADES

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from the 

power source outlet before making any adjustments. 

WARNING: These blades cannot and should not be re-sharpened.

WARNING: The planer blades are sharp and fragile and must be handled carefully to avoid injury to the 

user and damage to the blades.

The planer blades have two cutting edges and may be reversed when one of the cutting edges becomes dull 

or chipped.

Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened blades of any kind. Use only blades designated for use with 

this model, as other blades may not clamp securely in blade holder, causing vibration and a decrease in 

performance.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

REMOVING OR INSTALLING PLANER BLADES (CONT.)

1.

Disconnect the planer from the

power source.

2.

Using the wrench supplied, loosen

all clamping screws.

3.

Slide out the blade.

4.

Clean out all chips or foreign mat-

ter adhering to the blade drum and the

blade.

5.

If one edge is dull, reverse the

blade. If both edges are dull, remove

the blade and replace it with a new blade.

6.

Slide the good blade face up into the blade retainer of the blade drum. The ridge along the blade should be on

the opposite side of the clamping screws.

7.

Tighten the clamping screws, ensuring that they are tightened evenly.

8.

Repeat for the second blade, making sure that both blades are set to the same cutting level and positioned in

the center of the blade drum. Otherwise, your planed surface will be rough and uneven.

CAUTION: Tighten all clamping screws carefully when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose clamping screw 

can be extremely dangerous. Check regularly to see that they are tightened securely.

NOTICE: Always change both blades at the same time. Use blades of the same dimensions and weight. Otherwise, 

the resulting imbalance can cause vibration and poor planing action while shortening the life of the blade and the 

tool.

NOTICE: Your planed surface will end up rough and uneven unless the blades are properly and securely set. The 

blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level (parallel to the surface of the rear shoe).

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

BLADE ALIGNMENT

To ensure an even cut, the blade must be adjusted so that it aligns with the 

outside edge of the front and rear shoes. This alignment can be achieved as 

follows:

1.

Place a straight edge or a piece of wood along the outside surface of

the

front and rear shoes. Slide the planer blade to just contact the straight edge

or wood.
