Depth Adjustment (fi g. A2, D1–D4)
Your DW733 is equipped with a high precision depth adjustment
system including a depth adjustment scale (8) (fig. D3), a material
removal scale (9) (fig. D4), a fine adjuster and a depth stop (14) (fig. A2).
1. Unlock the head lock lever (2) (fig. D3) by pulling it up.
2. Pull the depth adjustment (3) handle up (fig. D1). One turn
corresponds to a change in cutting depth of approx. 1.5 mm.
– Turn clockwise to decrease the cutting depth.
– Turn counterclockwise to increase the cutting depth (fig. D2).
3. Read the finished thickness of your workpiece on the depth
adjustment scale (8) (fig. D3).
4. Make sure the material is under the material removal gauge (20).
Read the amount of wood being removed on the material removal
scale (9) (fig. D4).
5. Lock the head lock lever (2) (fig. D3).
FINE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. D2)
Fine adjustments are ideal for shaving small amounts from planed
material. For example, if your planed workpiece is 77.5 mm and should
be 76.0 mm, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the circular label (21) until the 0 mark aligns with the arrow
(22). Do not make any other adjustments.
2. Turn the depth adjustment handle (3) clockwise until the 1.5 mm
mark aligns with the arrow.
3. Plane your workpiece. The final thickness is now 76.0 mm.
Depth Stop (fi g. A2, D3, D5)
The depth stop (14) (fig. A2) can be used for repetitive planing of preset
depths. Stops are set at 0, 6, 12 and 19 mm.
Use the 0 mm stop for cutting depths between 3.2 and 6 mm (fig. D5).
1. Turn the depth stop until the desired measurement is indicated.
2. Unlock the head lock lever (2) (fig. D3) and turn the depth
adjustment handle clockwise until it contacts the depth stop. Do
not turn the handle any further.
Use the 19 mm stop for other thicknesses. This will not affect the other
depth stop settings.
1. Unlock the head lock lever (2) and turn the depth adjustment
handle (3) counterclockwise to raise the head fully.
2. Loosen the nut (23) and adjust the depth adjustment bolt (24) as
required (fig. D5).
3. Turn the depth adjustment handle until it contacts the depth
stop. Do not turn the handle any further.
4. Plane your workpiece and check its thickness. Make additional
adjustments if required.
Calibrating the Depth Adjustment Scale (fi g. D3)
The depth adjustment scale (8) is factory set. In the case of extended
use, it is recommended to check the scale for accuracy.
Plane a piece of wood, noting the measurement on the depth
adjustment scale (8).
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws (33).
2. Adjust the prism until the indicator (34) matches the finished
thickness of the workpiece.
3. Firmly tighten the screws (33).
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate
accessories. These include spare blades (DE7330).
Changing Blades (fi g. A1, A2, E1–E5)
Your DW733 is equipped with a cutterhead which holds two blades.
WARNING: Sharp edges.
WARNING: The blades can be re-sharpened max.
3 mm down from their original size. If the blade size has
decreased by more than 3 mm, the blades have to be
replaced. The blades can be re-sharpened at 42°.

REMOVING THE BLADES (FIG. A1, A2, E1–E4)
1. Unlock the head lock lever (2) (fig. A1).
2. Adjust the depth of cut to approx. 75 mm.
3. Remove the two hex screws (25) (fig. E1) and carefully remove the
dust adaptor (13) and tool tray (12) (fig. A2) to expose the blades.
4. Carefully rotate the cutterhead (30) (fig. E4) until the first blade
becomes visible.
5. Lock the head lock lever (2) (fig. A1).
6. Loosen the seven blade clamping screws (26, 28) (fig. E2) using the
wrench supplied.
7. Remove the blade from the cutterhead for re-sharpening or
replacement.
8. Press the cutterhead locking lever (29) (fig. E3) and slowly rotate
the cutterhead until the other blade can be removed.
REPLACING THE BLADES (FIG. E2–E5)
1. Position the cutterhead (30) as shown in figure E4.
2. Place the blade in the cutterhead and ensure that the head of the
height adjustment screw (27) (fig. E4) locates into the blade slot.
3. Loosen the seven screws (26, 28) (fig. E2) on the blade clamp
against the blade a little bit to allow the blade to be adjusted for
height.
4. Place the gauge (32) (fig. E4) on the cutterhead as close as
possible to the height adjustment screw (27) while still allowing
movement of the hex key.
5. Turn one height adjustment screw (27) with the hex key until the
blade tip touches the gauge (32) (fig. E5). Repeat the procedure
with the other height adjustment screw. Check to ensure the blade
height is even. Repeat this procedure if needed.
6. Tighten the two end clamping screws (28) (fig. E2) to 8.0 Nm.
7. Remove the gauge and tighten the five middle clamping screws
(26) (fig. E2) to 8.0 Nm.
8. Press the cutterhead locking lever (29) (fig. E3) and slowly rotate
the cutterhead until the other blade can be replaced following the
above procedure.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
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.
WARNING: Make sure there is sufficient space for the
workpiece at the outfeed side.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in
terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so
that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding
space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the ambient temperature is
not too cold, the machine and accessories are well maintained and the
workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
Switching On and Off (fi g. F1, F2)
The On/Off switch of your DW733 is equipped with a circuit breaker. In
case of motor overload, the power supply to the motor will be cut off.
If this happens, turn the machine off and press the reset button (35)
(fig. F1).
• The workpiece should not be in contact with the cutterhead when
switching on.
To turn on, pull the on/off switch (1) up (fig. F2). The tool now works in
continuous operation.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece.
• Allow the blades to cut freely. Do not force.
