(see "Technical Specifications")
– unsuitable, incorrectly
mounted, dull or damaged planer
knives can work loose, or

knife lockbar as shown.
Both pins of the planer knife lockbar
must fit into the holes (81) of the

jection of the knives:
 With the setting gauge (86) (under
the prevailing regulations governing
safety at work this must be supplied
