Elevation Scale
The depth of cut is read directly from the elevation
scale (see Figure 15) on the righthand column at
the front of the machine. The measurement indi-
cated by the red arrow is the effective thickness
of the board after planing.

Feeding Workpiece
Example: If you need to plane a board down to
1", simply make multiple passes (no greater than
the maximum depth of cut) until the cutterhead
elevation scale reads 1". A final pass at this set-
ting will create a 1" thick workpiece.
Note: The cutterhead elevation scale does not
provide a precise measurement and should only
be used for approximate measurements. If pre-
cise workpiece thicknesses are needed, use
calipers to ensure your workpieces meet your
standards.
The feed rate on this planer is automatically set
at 26 FPM. Infeed and outfeed rollers move the
workpiece through the planer while keeping it flat
and providing a consistent rate of movement.
To feed workpiece into planer:
1. Place workpiece on table so it is perpendicu-
lar to cutterhead, with side to be planed fac-
ing up toward cutterhead.
Note: Boards more than 24" long should be
supported on both sides of planer.
2. Lower cutterhead until depth bar (see Figure
16) just touches workpiece.
