SERVICE
The depth adjustment scale (A) Fig. 23D on your planer is
set at the factory. However, with extended use, the depth
adjustment scale could show an incorrect measurement. To
check the depth adjustment scale, plane a piece of scrap
wood, noting the measurement on the depth adjustment
scale. Measure the fi nished thickness of the workpiece. If
the thickness of the workpiece does not match the reading
on the depth adjustment scale, loosen the two screws (B)
on the red indicator. Adjust the pointer up or down until its
reading matches the fi nished thickness of the workpiece.
Securely re-tighten the screws.
HOW TO CALIBRATE THE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT SCALE
Keep the table clean and free from oil, grease, and pitch.
Treat the table with paste wax to help maintain its smooth
fi nish.
BASE MAINTENANCE
Your planer is equipped with an 18 amp circuit breaker. If your planer becomes overloaded and stops operating, turn off
the planer, let the unit sit for 2 minutes and press the reset button (A) Fig. 24 before you resume working.
CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET BUTTON
To prevent the planer from start-
ing unexpectedly if power is interrupted by a circuit
breaker trip, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" po-
sition before restoring power.
NOTE: Circuit breaker overload is often the result of dull
knives. Change your knives on a regular basis to avoid
tripping your breaker. Check your knives before re-set-
ting the circuit breaker and continuing to plane.
BRUSH CHANGE
Your planer is equipped with brush caps (C) Fig. 23D that
are external to the motor. If your brushes need to be re-
placed, begin by acquiring a new set from a DELTA Ma-
chinery service center or a dealer authorized to service
DELTA products. Use only identical DELTA brushes.

performed by qualifi ed service personnel.
REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table, extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a commercially
available protective product designed for this purpose. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and safety.
