I recently picked up a SS planer from my neighbor. The knives were dull so I removed them knives to have them sharpened.
I purchased a CMT magnetic planer knife setting jig. To use the jig, it requires the chip deflector to be removed.
Looking at the owners manual, it is not clear to me how to remove the chip deflector.
Any ideas.

Planer Chip Deflector
Did you ever figure out how to remove the chip deflector? I have the same issue.
