Basic Operations

To use the planer:

1.Put on safety glasses.

2.If your workpiece is bowed, surface plane the workpiece on a jointer until one side is flat— doing so will ensure that it sits solidly on the planer table during operation.

3.Place the workpiece onto the infeed exten- sion wing with the flat side down, so that the front edge of the workpiece is just under the cutterhead assembly enough to set the depth of cut, and set the depth-of-cut, using the

Depth-of-Cut Gauge (Page 16). Be sure not to exceed the maximum depth-of-cut.

4.Lower the elevation lock lever, then remove the workpiece.

5.Turn the planer ON.

6.With the flat side of the board down on the table, make sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece to reduce the risk of a kickback injury, then feed the workpiece into the front of the planer.

—If the cut is too deep and bogs down the planer, turn the planer OFF immediately, allow it to come to a complete stop, raise the cutterhead, remove the workpiece, reduce the depth-of-cut, then return to

Step 4.

Note: The infeed and outfeed rollers will control the feed rate of the workpiece as it passes through the planer. Do not push or pull on the workpiece.

7.Once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed roller, measure the workpiece thickness. If fur- ther planing is needed, return the workpiece to the infeed extension wing, lift the elevation lock lever, adjust the depth-of-cut, then con- tinue.

8.Continue this process until the desired thick- ness is reached.

Planing Tips

•Inspect your lumber for twisting or cupping, and surface one face on a jointer if neces- sary.

•Scrape off all glue before planing glued-up panels.

•DO NOT plane more than one piece at a time.

•Never remove more than the recommended amount of material on each pass. Remove less material on each pass when planing wide or dense stock.

•Support the workpiece on both ends. Get assistance if you are planing long lumber, or use roller stands to support the workpiece.

•Measure the workpiece thickness with cali- pers to get exact results.

•Carefully inspect all stock to make sure it is free of large knots or foreign objects that may damage your knives, cause kickback or eject from the planer.

•When possible, plane equal amounts on each side of the board to reduce the chance of twisting or cupping.

•Use the entire width of the planer to wear knives evenly.

•Always plane WITH the grain direction of the wood. Never plain cross-grain or end-grain.
