Follow these steps for achieving the best results.
1.
True Up One Face
– Feed one face of the board through a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass until the entire
surface is flat.
2.
Plane to Thickness
– Place the side you planed in
STEP 1
face down and feed the board through the planer.
Plane until this side is flat, then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness. Make thin
cuts, and alternate sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping,
or bowing, repeat
STEP 1
and true up one face.
3. When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.
4. Plane with the grain only, and keep the planer table clean. Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction
during the planing operation.
5.
Cross-cut to Final Length
– Cross-cut your workpiece to final length.
Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table to help eliminate uneven wear of the
knives.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The motor has an automatic reset overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will
shut off the motor. The motor must be turned to "OFF" and allowed to cool down before restarting.
NOTE:
If the machine continually shuts off due to overloading, contact a qualified electrician to solve the problem.
