Operation
CAUTION!
PLACE THE PLANER ON A SECURE AND STABLE SURFACE FOR OPERATION. CLAMP OR BOLT THE PLANER INTO
POSITION.
1. Establish the proper depth of cut (typically less than 1/16”), using either the DRO or scale.
2. Pull out and lock each extension roller to support long stock
3. Start dust collection.
4. Start planer.
5. Adjust feed speed (Fig. 8, C) to desired speed (16 or 28 FPM), while planer is running.
6. Feed stock into planer, maintain control and support of stock until the stock is securely feeding through
planer.
7. Reposition yourself to the outfeed side of planer and control and support stock until it has exited the
outfeed roller.
Helpful Tips
• PLANERS WORK BEST IF ONE FACE OF STOCK IS FLAT. IF NOT, FLATTEN WITH A JOINTER OR DRUM SANDER.
• IF NOT POSSIBLE TO FLATTEN ONE FACE, PROCESS CUPPED MATERIAL WITH THE CUP “UP” SO THE MATERIAL IS
STABLE ON THE PLANER BED.
• IF MATERIAL IS SEVERELY CUPPED, ANOTHER OPTION IS TO RIP THE MATERIAL, PLANE IT AND GLUE IT BACK
TOGETHER.
• PLANE WITH THE DIRECTION OF GRAIN TO REDUCE TEAR-OUT AND PROVIDE THE BEST SURFACE FINISH.
