Instructions for installing a spiral head in a PM 15S planer

[Dennis Peacock]

Anybody have a link to the installation instructions? I lost the link I had and I'm all psych'd out to get mine done today. Any help with the link would be appreciated.

Dennis, here's a link to the 15S instruction manual pdf file. Hope it helps.

The instructions are very good and didn't leave much unaswered. Couple of suggestions-in addition to the gear puller shown in the instructions you might find a bearing separator useful and they're cheap. The allen bolt which held the gear to the end of the cutter head was so tight I couldn't budge it with a long arm allen wrench. I used my Bosch 12V driver with an allen head and it backed the bolt out immediately. I wouldn't recommend anyone really letting the driver hammer too much because it would probably break the bolt but it worked perfectly for me.
