MACHINE USE

When using your machine, you may want to follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results possible.

1.True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire surface is flat.

2.Plane to Thickness – Place the side you just surfaced 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, making thin cuts, alternating 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.For best results, always engage cutterhead lock before planing, plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation.

5.Cross-cut to Final Length – Cross-cut lumber to final length.

THE KNIVES ON THE PLANER WILL NOT WEAR EVENLY BY FEEDING THE WOOD THROUGH THE SAME SPOT ON THE TABLE EVERY TIME. FEED THE WOOD THROUGH THE PLANER AT DIFFERENT SPOTS ON THE TABLE WHEN POSSIBLE, TO HELP ELIMINATE UNEVEN WEAR OF THE KNIVES.
