Basic Operation
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.
