The video provides a detailed guide on installing blades on a portable planer using the Mini Planer Pal Knife Setting Jig. Hosted by Kent and Shawn, the video emphasizes safety and proper procedure. They recommend unplugging the machine, lowering the cutter head, and removing the chip deflector. Blades are removed carefully by loosening gib bolts and lifting the blades out, followed by cleaning the slot and gib pockets. New blades are installed with springs and gibs, then secured using the Mini Planer Pals with powerful magnets. Gib bolts are tightened gradually, starting from the center and moving outwards. Finally, the chip deflector is reinstalled, and the planer is ready for use.
