”.

Ridges
•
Damaged or nicked knives can leave ridges along the length of a board.
•
Always inspect each board carefully before attempting to plane it.
•
Do not attempt to plane second-hand lumber with nails below the surface, painted wood,
plywood, hardboard, wood with a glue bead, or any material other than solid wood.
Planing Glued-Up Boards
This planer is designed for planing solid wood. Other material, including glue, will dull or
damage the knives. However, when you need to ‘true-up” glued-together stock, follow these
suggestions.
•
As you glue the stock, scrub off all the glue on the surface with a wet rag. This prevents glue
beads from forming on the wood surface. Allow the glue to dry at least 24 hours. Check the
surface for any glue that you missed and remove with a scraper, chisel, or sander.
•
Set the cutterhead for a shallow depth of cut. When you are finished planing the glued-up
board, unplug the planer and check planer knives for built-up pitch or other signs of wear.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to plane second-hand lumber, painted or
varnished wood, plywood or particle board. These materials can damage planer
knives. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
NOTICE:
Glued-up stock must dry at least 24 hours before being planed. Failure to comply
may cause the stock to separate in the planer, leading to kickback and serious injury.
