PLANER PAL KNIFE SETTING JIG
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Planer Preparation
1. Disconnect the planer from its power source.
2. Remove the planer’s dust cover.
3. Remove the chip deflector and loosen the springs holding the chipbreaker down, if necessary. Loosening the
springs will allow the chipbreaker to be raised to expose a larger portion of the cutterhead, where space is a limiting
factor.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen or remove the dull knives before reading instructions

Setting The Knives ® Now that the Planer Pal Jigs are properly adjusted for your planer, the knives can be replaced. You’ll achieve the best results by removing and replacing knives one at a time, leaving the rest tightened in place. TO SET YOUR KNIVES 1. Remove the first knife and replace with a newly sharpened knife. Let the knife protrude above the cutterhead more than the others, so the jigs can push the knife in place. Tighten the gib bolts enough to still allow free movement of the knife
