NOTE: The other lifting lug is located at the rear and the opposite end of the machine. Carefully remove the planer from the shipping skid.

Thread handle assembly (A) Fig. 3, into handwheel (B) and tighten locknut (C).

If it is necessary to lower the table (B) Fig. 4, to facilitate cleaning, loosen lock knob (C) and turn handwheel (D) counterclockwise until the table (B) is at the desired height for cleaning.

With allen wrench supplied, loosen and remove screw

(E)Fig. 5, from the left top edge of the machine and raise the top cover (F) Fig. 6 as shown, exposing the chipbreakers, and cutterhead. NOTE: The top cover of the machine is hinged to facilitate cleaning and performing maintenance and adjustment procedures.

Carefully remove the protective coating from the table, table rollers, infeed roller, anti-kickback fingers, cutterhead and cutterhead knives. This protective coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. (DO NOT USE GASOLINE, ACETONE, OR LACQUER THINNER FOR THIS PURPOSE).

CAUTION: Extreme care should be taken when cleaning the knives as the cutterhead knives are positioned in the cutterhead and are very sharp.

After cleaning, cover the table surface with a good quality paste wax.

Lower top cover and replace locking screw which was removed in STEP 5.

22-451, 22-450 specifications

Delta 22-450 and Delta 22-451 are notable models within Delta's commitment to high-performance, precision woodworking tools. Designed for both amateur and professional woodworkers, these tools embody an ideal blend of innovation, usability, and durability.

One of the primary features of the Delta 22-450 is its powerful motor, which delivers reliable performance even under heavy workloads. This model is equipped with a 1.5 HP motor that ensures consistent power, allowing users to tackle various materials with ease. The motor is designed to operate quietly while minimizing vibrations, which enhances user comfort and precision during operation.

In contrast, the Delta 22-451 takes this a step further, boasting a slightly more robust 1.75 HP motor. This feature allows for increased cutting capacity and the ability to work with thicker and denser materials without bogging down. Both models come with a high-quality build, featuring cast-iron bases that provide stability and reduce vibration, further contributing to accuracy in cuts.

Another standout characteristic of the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 is their innovative fence system. Both models utilize a patented fence design that is easy to adjust and lock securely in place, providing users with confidence in their cutting precision. This technology makes repetitive cuts simple and accurate, which is invaluable when working on larger projects.

Additionally, safety is a key focus in the design of these tools. Delta has incorporated various safety features, such as blade guards and anti-kickback mechanisms, to protect users during operation. This attention to safety is crucial, especially for those who may be newer to woodworking or those operating in busy environments.

Furthermore, these models also feature a dust collection system that maintains a clean workspace. The integrated ports allow for connection to dust extraction systems, ensuring that the work environment remains clear of debris, which not only keeps the workspace safer but also improves visibility for more accurate work.

In summary, the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 are exceptional tools designed for both professional woodworkers and dedicated hobbyists. With powerful motors, advanced fence systems, robust safety features, and effective dust collection, these models are engineered to enhance the woodworking experience and deliver superior results. Their blend of reliability and innovative technology makes them worthwhile investments for anyone serious about woodworking.
