Drive belt replacement
1. Replace the drive belt by first taking out the three cross-head
screws that secure the Drive Belt Cover (8) on the left-hand side
of the planer when viewed from the rear (Image N)
Note: The front screw is longer than the other two. Take care to
replace this screw in the same hole when replacing the cover.
2. Remove the damaged belt by pulling it sideways off the top
pulley and turning the bottom pulley by hand. Use a soft brush
to clean the pulleys and the surrounding area
Note: Wear eye protection when cleaning out the pulley area.
3. With the six continuous 'v' profiles on the inside, place the new
belt over the bottom pulley. Half-fit the other end of the belt
on the top pulley, then roll the belt in place whilst turning the
pulley
4. Check the belt runs evenly by manually turning the belt
5. Replace the Drive Belt Cover and the three fixing screws,
ensuring the longer screw is located in the hole at the front of
the cover
6. Plug the machine back into the power outlet and switch the tool
on and run for a minute to make sure that the motor and belt
are operating correctly
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become
worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent
failure, or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them
replaced at an authorised service centre
