GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with

insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

6

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make

sure your extension cord is in good
condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has
a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current of the machine.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct gauge to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

CONNECTING TO DUST COLLECTOR

A planer creates a large amount of fine particles while in use. It is strongly recommended that you connect the planer to
a shop vacuum or dust collector. Your DELTA® Bench Planer is equipped with a 2” dust port that must be connected
to a vacuum hose to ensure safe operation. Using a 2" to 4" adapter, sold separately, will enable you to connect your
planer to most dust collectors that use a 4” hose.

Do not attempt to operate this tool without first connecting it to an adequate dust collection
system.

Always turn on the dust collector before starting the planer and always stop the planer before
turning off the dust collector.

9

OPERATION

A

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PLANER

Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging cord into outlet. Do not touch
the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.

In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the
"OFF" position until the main power is restored.

The ON/OFF switch (A), indicated in Figure 3, is located on the front of the cabinet. To turn the machine “ON,” move the
switch to the up position. To turn the machine “OFF,” move the switch to the down position.

LOCKING THE PLANER USING THE SAFETY KEY

1. This machine uses a safety key (B), shown in Figure 3,
that enables you to lock the tool in the “OFF” position
when not in use.

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the
switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent
unauthorized use.

2. To lock the machine, remove the safety key by pulling
it straight out. With the safety key removed, the
switch will not operate.

3. Should the safety key be removed while the tool
is running, the machine can be turned "OFF,"
but cannot be restarted unless the safety key is
re-inserted.

RESETTING THE ON-BOARD CIRCUIT BREAKER

As an additional safety feature, the DELTA® 22-555 has an on-board
circuit breaker (C), shown in Figure 3. Should the motor become
overloaded or should a power surge occur while the machine is
operating, the circuit breaker will trip, cutting power to the machine.

In the event the breaker trips, do the following:

1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord.

2. Raise the cutterhead and remove the workpiece from the machine.

3. Wait 2 to 3 minutes or until the motor housing is cool to the touch,
then depress the on-board circuit breaker reset.

4. Plug the power cord in and restart the machine using the ON/OFF
switch.

5. If the machine fails to start, allow the motor to cool further and
attempt to reset the breaker again.

FIGURE 3

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

Refer to Figure 4

Your DELTA® 22-555 Bench Planer can accept stock up
to 6” in height and has a maximum cutting depth of 3/32”
per pass. To adjust the height of the cutterhead:

1. Rotate the Height Adjustment Handle until the Height
Indicator (A) is pointing to the desired height. Turning
the handle clockwise raises the cutterhead while
turning it counterclockwise lowers it. One complete
revolution of the Height Adjustment Handle moves
the cutterhead 1/16”.

FIGURE 4

ELIMINATING SNIPE

OPERATION

Snipe is a short depression created at the beginning
and/or end of a board after it passes through the
planer. Figure 5 shows how snipe occurs when a board
enters the cutting area of the planer with the leading
end elevated. The same effect can be created when
the trailing end of the board becomes elevated as the
workpiece exits the planer.

There are a few ways you can control snipe.

The most common cause of snipe is failure to fully
support the workpiece as the leading end enters the
planer and as the trailing end exits the planer. This can
be addressed by securely holding the workpiece to the
surface of the infeed table and not allowing the leading
end to elevate as it contacts the cutterhead.

If, after trying the above, snipe is still present,
try lessening the depth of cut by slightly raising the
height of the cutterhead (see previous section, “Height
Adjustment”).

If the workpiece continues to exhibit snipe, you may
need to adjust the height of the infeed and or outfeed
table. To do this, see Figure 6, then:

1. Fold the infeed and outfeed tables up in order to
locate the two infeed (A) and two outfeed (B) stop
screws.

2. Using a 10mm open wrench, loosen the retaining
nuts.

3. Adjust the stop screws, one set at a time, making
sure that they are at the same height. To check the
screw height, lower the table and confirm that both
screw heads are flush against the bottom of the table.

4. Re-test for snipe.
