English plate (X) with the grooved side of the carbide blade facing up. Either edge of the reversible carbide blade can be set flush against the gauge plate inside wall (Y). b. P lace the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade so that the rib on the blade carrier (AA) fits into the groove on the carbide blade (Z). The heel of the guide bar (W) will over-hang the end of the gauge plate (X). c. Loosen the two cross-shaped screws (V) with a screwdriver. d. Simultaneously hold the blade carrier (AA) and blade (Z) against the gauge plate inside wall (Y) while holding the heel of the guide bar (W) against the back edge of the gauge plate. Securely tighten the cross shaped screws (V). 3. To Replace the Blade (Fig. 12A, 12B) a. R emove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly from the gauge plate (X) and place the heel of the guide bar (W) into the groove on the drum (T). b. P lace the drum cover (S) over the blade carrier/guide bar assembly. Loosely screw the three star head screws (R) into the drum (T) so that there is a small gap between the drum and the blade carrier (AA). c. S lide the carbide blade between the drum (T) and the blade carrier (AA) from the side so that the rib on the blade carrier sets into the groove in the blade. d. C enter the carbide blade (Z) under the blade carrier (AA) making sure the blade is clear of the tool housing on both sides. e. Securely tighten the three star head screws (R) to the drum. 4. Repeat procedure for the other blade. NOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades, the blade carrier (AA) required for carbide blades is available at additional cost from your local DeWALT authorized service center. Sharpening High- FIG. 13 BB Speed Steel Blades (Fig. 13) CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with great care. U NOTE: Carbide blades cannot be U sharpened. 1. Fasten the blades to the sharpening holder (BB). Make sure both blade edges (U) are facing the same direction. BLADE EDGE 2. Place the blade edges so they rest flat on the grinding stone (not included). 3. Firmly grip the sharpening holder and move it back and forward to sharpen the blades (U). Kickstand (Fig. 14) FIG. 14 Your planer is equipped with a kickstand (CC) that automatically lowers when the tool is lifted from the work surface allowing the planer to set on the work surface without the blade touching it. When planing, the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward through the material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing work, it can be stored CC and locked out of the way. CAUTION: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly extended when setting the planer on a work surface. 15

plate (X) with the grooved side of the carbide blade facing up.
Either edge of the reversible carbide blade can be set flush
against the gauge plate inside wall (Y).
b.
Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade so
that the rib on the blade carrier (AA) fits into the groove on the
carbide blade (Z). The heel of the guide bar (W) will over-hang
the end of the gauge plate (X).
c.
Loosen the two cross-shaped screws (V) with a screwdriver.
d.
Simultaneously hold the blade carrier (AA) and blade (Z)
against the gauge plate inside wall (Y) while holding the heel
of the guide bar (W) against the back edge of the gauge plate.
Securely tighten the cross shaped screws (V).
3.
To Replace the Blade (Fig. 12A, 12B)
a.
Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly from
the gauge plate (X) and place the heel of the guide bar (W) into
the groove on the drum (T).
b.
Place the drum cover (S) over the blade carrier/guide bar
assembly. Loosely screw the three star head screws (R) into
the drum (T) so that there is a small gap between the drum
and the blade carrier (AA).
c.
Slide the carbide blade between the drum (T) and the blade
carrier (AA) from the side so that the rib on the blade carrier
sets into the groove in the blade.
d.
Center the carbide blade (Z) under the blade carrier (AA)
making sure the blade is clear of the tool housing on both
sides.
e. Securely tighten the three star head screws (R) to the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
NOTE:
If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades, the blade
carrier (AA) required for carbide blades is available at additional cost
from your local D
