PICK REPLACEMENT
Picks should be replaced if you are changing to a different application pick, they
are broken, worn, flat spot or are seized in the pick holder and do not rotate freely.
WARNING! Always wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal.
Failure to heed could result in serious injury to the eyes or other parts
of the body.
Do all pick maintenance through access door.
DO NOT attempt to check the picks with the planer in a raised position
without first blocking the planer. Before exercising the MANDATORY
SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE find an elevated surface to set the
planer on or have a second person block the planer in place before
shutting down the machine.
1. Open front access door.
2. Rotate the drum until the pick to be removed is conveniently accessible.
3. Hold the extracting tool (pick puller) in one hand and place the jaws in the groove
of the pick, with the offset handle pointing away from the pick holder.
4. Using a lead hammer or rubber-headed mallet, hit the raised pad on the tool until
the pick starts to move. Continue tapping until the pick is removed.
5. Insert the new pick into the jaws of the extracting tool (pick puller) so that the raised
pad of the tool is pointing in the same direction as the pick point.
6. Position the new pick in the pick holder on the drum and with a lead hammer or
rubber-headed mallet, hit the raised pad of the tool to start the pick into the pick
holder. (Clean out any foreign material from the pick holder before installing the
new pick.)
7. Once the pick is started into the pick holder strike the tool pad one strong blow to
pop the pick into the holder.
