Frequently Asked Questions - DW677 DEWALT

How to adjust the depth of cut on the DW677 planer?

Turn the top knob located near the front of the tool. Starting from the '0' position to the right, you gradually increase the depth up to 1.5 mm. Each click corresponds to approximately 0.1 mm of depth. Test on a scrap piece of wood to verify the setting.

How to replace the blades of the DW677 planer?

Unplug the tool, loosen the three hex bolts, then loosen the three screws (without removing them). Remove the blade with a screwdriver. The blades are reversible: flip them to use the second cutting edge. Use only DeWALT DW6654 replacement blades. Reinsert the blade into the drum, push it all the way in, then tighten the screws.

What are the recommended accessories for the DW677?

Recommended accessories are sold separately at authorized DeWALT service centers. Use of non-recommended accessories may be hazardous. Consult your dealer for dust bags, replacement blades, etc.

How to avoid injuries when using the planer?

Always wear safety glasses and appropriate protective equipment. Use the tool with both hands, maintain a stable stance, and do not wear loose clothing. Before plugging in the tool, ensure the switch is in the off position. Unplug the tool before any adjustment or cleaning.

How to make a rabbet with the DW677 planer?

Use the adjustable edge guide (figure 8 of the manual). Set it to the desired width (up to 12 mm). Make several passes to achieve the required depth. Ensure you keep the tool flat and do not block the ejection chute.

What to do if the planer jams in the workpiece?

Immediately set the switch to the off position. Unplug the tool before removing the workpiece. Check that the blades are properly sharpened and that the depth of cut is not excessive. Resume with a shallower pass.

How to clean and maintain the DW677 planer?

Unplug the tool before any cleaning. Regularly clean the ventilation slots to prevent overheating. Remove dust from the ejection chute. Check the condition of the blades and replace them if dull. Store the tool in a dry place.

Can the planer be used on materials other than wood?

No, the DeWALT DW677 planer is designed only for wood and wood-derived products. Using it on other materials could damage the tool or pose a safety risk.

How to use the rest support of the planer?

The rest support (figure 11) deploys automatically when you set the tool down. It prevents the blades from touching the work surface. Do not lock the switch in continuous mode when the support is lowered, as vibrations could move the tool.

Where to find replacement blades for the DW677?

Replacement blades (model DW6654) are available at authorized DeWALT service centers and partner dealers. Use only DeWALT parts to ensure safety and performance.

General Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (Grounded) tools.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (Double Insulated) tools.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Recommended Minimum Wire Size for Extension Cords

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Operation

SWITCH

ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR PLANER BEFORE DEPRESSING THE SWITCH. The planer is started by depressing the trigger in the handle. To turn the planer OFF, release the trigger.

To LOCK the tool ON, for continuous use, hold the trigger depressed and push in the locking button shown in Figure 1. Hold the button in while gently releasing the trigger. To turn the tool OFF from a locked-on position, depress and release the trigger once.

ADJUSTING PLANING DEPTH

Turn off and unplug Planer. Planing depth is infinitely variable from 0 to .059" (1.5mm) using the DW677, from 0 to .157" (4.0mm) using the DW678, and 0 to .098" (2.5 mm) using the DW680. This is adjustable by rotating the knob on the top of the planer near the front, as shown in Figure 3. As the knob is rotated clockwise from the "O" position the cutting depth will increase from 0 to as much as .157". Each click of the adjustment knob represents approximately 0.1mm of depth. It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood after each re-adjustment to make sure that the desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer. Several shallow passes will produce a smoother finish than one deep one.

PLANING

Hold the planer as shown in Figure 4 with one hand on the switch handle and the other hand on the front handle. Place the front shoe on the surface to be planned, making certain that the cutting blades are not touching the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of the planer so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTLEY FLAT on the work surface. Pull the trigger switch and allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning to plane.

English

Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface, see Figures 5 and 6.

PLANING TIP: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don't stop planing until the cutting blades of the planer are past your work piece and into the scrap material.

RABBETING

Your planer can make rabbit cuts up to .5" (12mm) using the DW677 and DW680 or 1" (25mm) using the DW678 with the edge guide. To make a rabbit cut, adjust the edge guide (see Figure 8) for the desired width of cut. Make several cuts until the desired depth is reached.

NOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most rabbit applications.

How to Change and Adjust Carbide Blades (DW677, DW678) Fig. 9 - 12

For best results, keep the blades clean and replace when necessary. Replacement blades are available at your local authorized DeWALT service center.

screwdriver (Fig.10). The blades have two cutting edges on them. If this is the first time you are changing blades, you need only to turn the blade around to expose the fresh cutting edge. Otherwise you will have to replace the blades.

1. Install the new (or reversed) blade as shown in the close-up view shown in Figure 10. Slide the blade all the way in until the end of it is flush with the end of the blade drum.
2. Securely tighten all three screws (for both blades).

NOTE: Be sure that screws are tight.

How to Change Planer Blades (DW680)

1. Loosen the three bolts with the allen wrench provided.
   NOTE: There are two blades in the blade drum. Any operation or adjustment should be duplicated on both.
2. Remove the drum cover
3. Remove blade:

a. Remove a Carbide blade with blade carrier and guide bar b. Remove a High Speed Steel blade by itself.

1. Place the blade carrier with the beveled edge facing up and the guide bar with the rounded edge facing down. The holes should match on both pieces. Then screw the guide bar to the blade carrier loosely.
2. Place the planer blade face up on the gauge plate with the cutting edge of the blade perfectly flush with gauge plate inside wall.
3. Gauge Plate:

a. Place the guide bar on top of the High Speed steel blade so that the holes match.
b. Set the attached blade carrier notches in the Carbide blade on the gauge plate.

1. Push the heel of the guide bar until it grips gauge plate end and tighten the screws.

BLADE CARRIER DW680

FIG. 12
DW680 SHOWN

FIG. 13

NOTE: The blade must sit flush with the inside wall of the of the gauge plate. The blade carrier notches must sit in the blade groove. The heel of the guide bar must be flush with the back side of the gauge plate. Check this alignment carefully to ensure uniform cutting.

1. Put the heel of the guide bar into the groove of the drum.
2. Replace the drum cover over the guide bar/blade carrier and screw in the three hex head screws leaving a small space between the drum and the blade carrier.
   10.Slide the carbide blade between the drum and blade carrier with the flat side of the blade against the drum
3. The blade will be positioned by the planer blade groove and notches on the blade carrier.

Setting the Adjustment Plate (Fig. 13)

1. Place blade edge (A) touching the inside edge of gauge plate (B).

2. Place adjusting plate (C) on blade with the heel flush against the base (D).

3. Fit and tighten the two blade holder screws (E).

Parking Foot (Fig. 14)

Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (A) that automatically falls down into place when the tool is lifted from the work surface. When planing, the parking foot folds up, out of the way, as the tool is pushed forward. When the parking foot is down, the tool can be left standing on the work surface without the blade touching the work.

CAUTION: Do not lock the trigger switch on and engage the parking foot. The vibration of the running motor will cause the planer to move, possibly falling from the work piece.

Edge Chamfering

Your planer has 3 precision machined grooves in the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood (Fig. 9). The width of the grooves are 1.5mm , 2mm , and 2.5mm . It's a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood before doing finish work.
