AVOIDING SNIPE 

Snipe, gouging or depression of the board at the ends, can occur when the board is not properly 

supported. For work pieces longer than 4 ft, greater care must be taken to reduce the problem 

because the additional length of the work piece translates into more unsupported  weight pulling 

down on the end of the board. This unsupported weight will work against keeping the stock flat.   

Make sure to use supports or stands whenever long pieces are being planed to avoid this problem. 

Since snipe occurs at the end of the boards, it is good practice to start with a work piece that is 

slightly longer than what you need so that you can simply cut off the ends if necessary. 

Also see TROUBLESHOOTING for further information. 

 

                                            MAINTENANCE                                             

 

WARNING!

   

MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE 

POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 

 
Your planer should provide you with a long time of service provided you take the time to perform 
the following maintenance operations. 

 
CLEANING 

Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the tool to plane incorrectly. Periodic cleaning and 
waxing is needed for accurate, precision planing. Any moving parts should be cleaned regularly 
with a penetrating oil and lubricated with a light coating of medium weight machine oil 
 
 

CAUTION!

    With the machine unplugged, blow off motor with low pressure air to remove dust 

or dirt. Air pressure above 50 P.S.I. should not be used as high-pressured air may damage 
insulation. The operator should always wear a respirator and eye protection when using 
compressed air. Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate under the machine. Keep area clean 
and in safe order. 
 
Having clean feed rollers is essential for optimal results. Check feed rollers after each use for 
buildup of pitch, gum, or resin, and be sure to clean off with a non-flammable tar and pitch 
remover that is not harmful to rubberized surfaces. 
 
Periodically clean, wax, and buff the tables. This will aid in the prevention of improper feeding of 
the work piece. 

 
HARDWARE TIGHTNESS 

Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws, for tightness and condition. Stop the 
machine and recheck the cutterhead screw and knives, or tips, for tightness after about 50 hours 
of operation. Recheck periodically.
