Replacing Knives - Delta ShopMaster TP400LS Instruction Manual

A
CARRYING HANDLE/STOCK TRANSFER BAR
1. Your planer is provided with a foam covered carrying handle (A) Fig. 22, located on top of the machine, for ease in
transporting the planer. Carrying handles are also provided at the base of the planer on each side which allow
you to lift the machine with ease.
2. The carrying handle (A) Fig. 23, also doubles as a stock transfer bar for transferring stock from the outfeed to infeed
end of the machine. This is helpful when planing long material, as the workpiece can easily be transferred back to the
infeed end of the machine for additional cuts.

The knives supplied with your planer are double edged and reversible, which enables you to turn the knives end-for-
end when one edge becomes dull or chipped. To change the knives, proceed as follows:
