the scale bar graduation for the desired finished dimension is reached. Algin your workpiece with the top of the table. (One handle revolution makes for 3 mm (1/8") ascent or descent.)

Make two passes rather than put an over- load on the planer that might cause trouble.

Stock feed

Align the stock to be cut with the top of the table. I f the stock is too thick to be cut, immediately lower the table by means of the crank handle so as to reduce the size of the cut.

Precautions when feeding

*Attempting to feed outsized stock will cause abnormal wear on the rubber rollers. Keep on the level so that cutter action and roller wear will be even.
