Knives  
the following is a description of the main compo-  
nents shipped with your machine. lay the compo-  
nents out to inventory them.  
note: If you can't find an item on this list, check  
the mounting location on the machine or examine  
the packaging materials carefully. Occasionally  
we pre-install certain components for shipping  
purposes.  
using dull or damaged knives increases  
the risk of kickback and poor quality cut-  
ting results. only use sharp, undamaged  
knives to prevent serious personal injury  
and achieve high quality results.

planer knives are extremely sharp and can  
quickly cause a serious injury to your hands  
or fingers. always wear heavy leather gloves  
when handling these knives to reduce the  
risk of cutting injuries.  
setting the height of the knives correctly is cru-  
cial to the proper operation of your planer and  
is very important in keeping the knives sharp. if  
one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will  
do the majority of the work, dull much faster, and  
produce poor cutting results.
