Plane one side of the material until flat, then plane the opposite side until flat (refer to Fig. O).
NOTE
: Do not flip the board back and forth between each pass as recommended by the general planning
directions.
To Plane Bowed Wood (Fig. P)
The feed rollers and cutterhead in your planer will push the bow out of the material as it feeds. When the
material exits the planer, the pressure of the rollers and cutterhead will release allowing the wood to spring
back into a bowed formation. To properly remove the bow, use a jointer.
7. MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
♦ Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
♦ Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
This machine is not user serviceable. If problems occur, contact an authorized repair agent.
7.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1) Routinely check the tool for damage or broken parts.
2) Clean the unit of dust and debris that has collected in all accessible areas of the planer from planning
wood material.
3) Wipe off infeed and outfeed rollers.
4) Clean base table. Light waxing will help wood material pass through the planer.
5) Evaluate blade sharpness condition. Replace as necessary.
6) Gauge Calibration, check thickness gauge calibration and turret stop calibration.
7) Check brushes for wear and replace as necessary.
