of the gauge plate. Securely tighten the cross shaped
screws
21
.
3. To Reinstall Blade(Fig. H1, H3)
a. Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly
from the gauge plate
22
and place the heel of the guide
bar
23
into the groove on the drum
20
.
b. Place the drum cover
19
over the blade carrier/guide
bar assembly. Loosely screw the three hex screws
18
into the drum
20
so that there is a small gap between
the drum and the blade carrier
26
c. Slide the carbide blade between the drum
20
and the
blade carrier
26
from the side so that the rib on the
blade carrier sets into the groove in theblade.
d. Centre the carbide blade
25
under the blade carrier
26
making sure the blade is clear of the tool housing on
both sides
e. Securely tighten the three star head screws
18
to
thedrum.
4. Repeat procedure for the otherblade.
NOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades, the blade
carrier
26
required for carbide blades is available at additional
cost from your local DeWalt authorised servicecentre.
Kickstand(Fig.I)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
27
that automatically
lowers when the tool is lifted from the work surface allowing the
planer to set on the work surface without the blade touching it.
When planing, the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward
through the material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing
work, it can be stored and locked out of theway.

WARNING: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly
extended when setting the planer on a worksurface.
Edge Chamfering(Fig.J)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering groove
28
in
the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. The width
of the groove is 4.5 to 8 mm. It’s a good idea to try a piece of
scrap wood before doing finishwork.
Dust Extraction(Fig.A, K1, K2)
Your planer has a built-in AirLock connection(Fig.K1,
12
)
which allows either a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be
connected. The built-in outlet utilizes the
DeWALT
AirLock
connection system making it compatible with the
DeWALT
dustextractor.
To Attach the Dust Bag
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar onto the
AirLock connection
12
as shown in FigureK.
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag by sliding it
off the AirLock connection
12
.
2. Twist the chip deflector(Fig. K2,
31
) away from the dust
bag toseparate.
3. Gently shake or tap the dust bag toempty.
4. Reattach the dust bag back onto the AirLockconnection.
2. Slide the crossbar on the rebate fence
17
into the hole
6
on the side of the planer as shown in FigureE.
3. Set the width of cut by adjusting the edge guide across the
width of theshoe.
4. Securely tighten rebate fence tightening knob
8
.
NOTE: The rebate fence should be below the planer when
installed correctly as shown in FigureF.
To Make a Rebate Cut
1. Turn the rebate fence tightening knob
8
to adjust the
desired width ofcut.
2. Make several cuts until the desired depth isreached.
NOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most
rebateapplications.
To Change Blades(Fig. G, H1-H3)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.

CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with
greatcare.
This planer uses 82 mm reversible carbideblades. When
replacing the blade, use 82 mm blades. Use
DeWALT
replacement blade Part No. N455909. Other sizes may degrade
performance or cause damage to theplaner.
Blade Storage(Fig.A, G)
Your planer is equipped with blade storage for two additional
blades. To store or remove additional blades, turn the blade
storage knob
13
counter clockwise toopen.
Reversible Carbide Blades(Fig.H1-H3)
1. To Remove Blade from Planer(Fig.H2)
a. Loosen and remove the three star-head screws
18
with the T25 star key
30
provided. Remove the drum
cover
19

20
b. Remove the blade carrier/guide bar
assembly(
21
,
23
,
26
). Carefully remove the carbide
blade
25
.
2. To Adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate(provided with
tool)(Fig. H3)
a. Cautiously place the sharp edge of the carbide blade
25
on the gauge plate
22
with the grooved side of the
carbide blade facing up. Either edge of the reversible
carbide blade can be set flush against the gauge plate
inside wall
24
.
b. Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade
so that the rib on the blade carrier
26
fits into the groove
on the carbide blade
25
. The heel of the guide bar
23
will over-hang the end of the gauge plate
22
.
Loosen the two cross-shaped screws
21
with
ascrewdriver.
c. Simultaneously hold the blade carrier
26
and blade
25
against the gauge plate inside wall
24
while holding
the heel of the guide bar
23
against the back edge
