Inspect the chip ejection port and surrounding housing for debris or damage before installing the replacement deflector. Secure the new deflector in its original position and verify that it is firmly attached. If using the optional dust collection bag, confirm that it attaches securely to the deflector before operating the planer.

Important: Always verify your planer model, type number, and original part number before ordering. Use genuine OEM DeWalt replacement components to ensure proper fit, effective chip ejection, and long-term planer performance.
