G1021X 15" Extreme Series Planer

The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:

1.Put on safety glasses.

2.Unless your workpiece starts very flat, sur- face plane the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat.

3.Adjust table height to slightly lower than your workpiece height to ensure the first cut is as light as possible.

4.Start the planer.

5.Place the flat side of the board down on the table, and feed the workpiece through the planer, making sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece.

—If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer, turn the planer OFF immediately, allow it to come to a complete stop, remove the workpiece, and repeat Steps 3–5.

6.Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust the table height as necessary to take a lighter or heavier pass, depending on your needs.
