Basic Operation
The basic steps of operating the planer/ moulder are as follows:
1.Put on safety glasses, ear protection and a respirator.
2.Unless your workpiece starts very flat, sur- face plane the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat.
3.Adjust the headstock height (see Page 18) so that the planing knives are slightly lower than your workpiece height to ensure the first cut is as light as possible.
4.Start the planer/moulder.
5.Place the flat side of the board down on the table, and feed the workpiece through the planer/moulder, making sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece.
