English MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. Brush Change U Your planer is equipped with brush caps (U) that are external to the motor. If your brushes need to be replaced, begin by acquiring a new set from a DEWALT service center or a dealer authorized to service DEWALT products. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES ON YOUR PLANER 1. Use the T-wrench to remove the top cover and brush cover screen on the planer. 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the brush cap located in the right, rear of the unit (V). 3. Do the same for the brush cap located V on the side of the motor, inside the planer cover. 4. Place the new brushes into the brush holders. 5. After installing the brushes, replace the top cover and brush cover screen. 6. Before using the planer, run the unit for 10 minutes to seat new brushes. NOTE: If existing brushes do not need replacing, be sure to maintain the same orientation when you reinstall them. Calibrating the Depth Adjustment Scale The depth adjustment scale (N) on your planer is set at the factory. However, with extended use, the depth adjustment scale could show an incorrect measurement. To check the depth adjustment scale, plane a piece of scrap wood, noting the measurement on the depth adjustment scale. Measure the finished thickness of W the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece does not match the reading N on the depth adjustment scale, loosen the two screws (W) on the red indicator. Adjust the pointer up or down until its reading matches the finished thickness of the workpiece. Securely re-tighten the screws. Base Maintenance Keep the table clean and free from oil, grease, and pitch. Treat the table with paste wax to help maintain its smooth finish. Circuit Breaker Reset Button Your planer is equipped with an 18 amp X circuit breaker. If your planer becomes overloaded and stops operating, turn off the planer, let the unit sit for 2 minutes and press the reset button (X) before you resume working. WARNING: To prevent the planer from starting unexpectedly if power is interrupted by a circuit breaker trip, make sure the switch is in the OFF position before restoring power. 10
