Official Companion planer parts

Sharpening Companion planer blades

• Hone each planer blade individually by whetting them using a fine sharpening stone.
• Make sure that the sharpening stone is flat and not worn.
• Remove the blades as described in your owner's manual.
• Partially cover the sharpening stone with paper to prevent table scratches.
• Position the infeed table to the sharpening stone contacts the blade along its beveled surface.
• Stroke the stone across the blade from one side to the other while moving the stone slowly in the feed direction.
• Perform the same amount of sharpening strokes on each blade.

Maintaining your Companion planer

Rotate or replace the knife blades often on your Delta planer. Unplug the planer to disconnect electrical power before making any adjustments or replacing parts.

Regularly blow out all air passages in the planer with compressed air to keep the planer running smoothly.

Clean all plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Never use solvents to clean the plastic parts of the planer. Solvents can dissolve or damage plastic planer parts.

Periodically tighten all nuts, bolts and fasteners on the planer. Check for loose fasteners if you hear unusual noises when using the planer. Unusual noises often indicate that fasteners are loose.
