• Read the finished thickness of your workpiece on the depth adjustment
scale (8) (fig. D3).
• 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).
• 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:
• Turn the circular label (21) until the 0 mark aligns with the arrow (22).
Do not make any other adjustments.
• Turn the depth adjustment handle (3) clockwise until the 1.5 mm mark
aligns with the arrow.
• Plane your workpiece. The final thickness is now 76.0 mm.
Depth stop (fig. 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).
- Turn the depth stop until the desired measurement is indicated.
- 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.
- Unlock the head lock lever (2) and turn the adjustment handle (3)
counterclockwise to raise the head fully.
- Loosen the nut (23) and adjust the depth adjustment bolt (24) as
required (fig. D5).
- Turn the depth adjustment handle until it contacts the depth stop.
Do not turn the handle any further.
- Plane your workpiece and check its thickness. Make additional
adjustments if required.
Changing blades (fig. A1, E1 - E7)
Your DW733 is equipped with a cutterhead which holds two blades.
Sharp edges.
Removing the blades (fig. A1, A2, E1 - E3)
• Unlock the head lock lever (2) (fig. A1)
• Adjust the depth of cut to approx. 75 mm.
• Remove the two Allen screws (25) (fig. E1) and carefully remove the
dust adaptor (13) and tool tray (12) to expose the blades (fig. A2).
• If the 8 bolts shown in figure E2 are not visible, carefully rotate the
cutterhead using a piece of scrap wood.
• Lock the head lock lever.
• Using the L-shaped wrench (27), slacken the two end bolts (28).
• Carefully remove the middle six bolts (26).
The blades are spring loaded!
• Press the cutterhead locking lever (29) and gently rotate the cutterhead
backward until the blade can be removed (fig. E3).
• Press the cutterhead locking lever (29) and gently rotate the cutterhead
until the other blade can be removed.
Replacing the blades (fig. E1 - E7)
• Position the cutterhead (30) as shown in figure E4.
• Carefully slide on the blade (31) as shown in figure E5.
• Place the two magnetic gauges (32) as shown in figure E6.
The magnetic gauges are stored in the tool tray (12) (fig. E1). The flat
edge of the magnetic gauges (32) must coincide with the flat of the
cutterhead (30) (fig. E7).
• Tighten the two end bolts (28) (fig. E2).
• Remove the magnetic gauges and rotate the cutterhead back to the
position shown in fig. E3.
• Replace and retighten the middle six bolts (26) to 5.7 Nm (fig. E2).
• Press the cutterhead locking lever (29) and gently rotate the cutterhead
until the other blade can be replaced following the above procedure
(fig. E3).
Calibrating the depth adjustment scale (fig. 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:
• Loosen the screws (33).
• Adjust the prism until the indicator (34) matches the finished thickness
of the workpiece.
• Firmly tighten the screws (33).
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
These include spare blades (DE7330).
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• 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.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. 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 switch 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.
• To switch OFF, press the ON/OFF-switch (1) down.
• To lock the machine OFF, insert a padlock into the hole (36).
Always switch OFF the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.
Planing
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose
knots. Do not plane wood that is severely knotted or warped.
• Your DW733 works best with at least one flat surface.
• For optimal results, plane both sides of your workpiece to
reach the desired thickness.
