It is a procedure which requires special equipment and precision, otherwise, a set of blades can be easily ruined. Knives should always be ground as a set so that an equal amount of material is removed which will maintain the balance of the cutterhead. The blades can be tuned up between major sharpenings using the Sharpening Jig supplied. Remove both Blades completely from the Planer. To Sharpen Blades: 1. Separate the Blade from the Back Plate by removing two Phillips® head screws. 2. Mount the two Blades onto the Sharpening Jig as shown in Figure 6. Planer blades are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening, or replacing blades into the cutterhead. Substantial risk of laceration injury exists! Fig 6. Blades in Sharpening Jig. 3. The bevel edge of the blades will extend beyond the sloped edge of the Jig. The blades can be sharpened by sweeping a fine metal file along the two edges, using the existing bevel angle as a guide. Or the entire Jig can be turned face down on a sharpening stone and swept across the surface of the stone. 4. Remove the Blades from the Jig and reinstall into the Planer. Blade sharpness is one of the most important factors in getting good results with the planer. Take care to ensure that the work- piece being planed is free from grit, dirt, or nails or other embedded metals such as staples. These can nick or chip the knives and can require a complete regrinding. G9003 Portable Planer -9 OPERATIONS Setting Cutting Depth Lay a straightedge across the Rear Foot and extend it across the Front Foot. Rotate the cutterhead so neither of the blades are touching the straightedge. Turn the Depth Adjustment Knob until the Front and Rear plates are at the same height (the straightedge will contact both feet evenly). This is a “0” depth of cut. Note the position of the “0” point on the knob scale. Three-quarters of a full rotation of the knob is equivalent to a 1.32" depth of cut, the maximum depth of cut recommended. Generally the best results will be achieved with several successive passes rather than trying to remove the maximum amount of material in one pass. Planing The most common operation is to plane the edge of a board to get a straight, square edge. A Portable Planer is also useful when an uneven edge is required, such as when fitting a countertop to a wall. The Planer can be used to cut right down to a scribe line by taking selective cuts. This Planer can also be used for face planing, that is, to clean up the rough surface of a board. This is most easily accomplished on boards which are less than 33.16" wide where the planing can be done in a single pass. Success in face planing will be best when very light passes are made. To Perform Planing Operations: 1. Secure the workpiece firmly with clamps so it will not move during the planing process. 2. Set the desired depth of cut. 3. Turn the Planer on by pulling the ON/OFF trigger. Allow the cutter- head to achieve full speed before engaging the workpiece. 4. Once the cutting begins, push the Planer firmly across the workpiece at the same rate of speed. Do not stop the Planer’s progress across the piece during the pass. Do not apply downward pressure, use the handle to apply force to push the Planer along. 5. Check the edge for straightness and squareness, or for the desired profile, as successive passes are made. Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). -10- G9003 Portable Planer OPERATIONS Chamfering The Front Foot has a V-groove machined into it to allow for edge chamfering. Position the Planer on the corner of the workpiece, with the V-groove seated on the corner. See Figure 7. Be sure the workpiece is firmly secured with clamps or other holding devices. Start the Planer and let it get to full speed before moving the Cutterhead into the workpiece. Apply steady, even pressure and keep the Planer moving along the edge. The Rear Foot will sit on the Chamfered edge as it comes out of the cutter. Support the Planer so it does not slip off of the edge. Fig 7. Cutting a chamfer. Rabbeting Rabbeting is the cutting of a notch along the edge of a board to allow mating pieces to fit together tightly. The Planer can be used to cut rabbets by using the supplied fence and setting it so that only the necessary amount of the cutterhead will actually cut into the workpiece. It will take several G9003 Portable Planer successive passes to achieve the full depth of the rabbet as the maximum depth of cut is 1.32" per pass. The maximum rabbet depth is 11.32". See Figure 8. To Perform Rabbeting Operations: 1. Secure the workpiece firmly with clamps to eliminate movement during the planing operation. 2. Install the fence guide by inserting it into the hole in the left front of the ...
