Feeding Stock:
CAUTION: You should always use the push blocks with every operation. You must use the push
blocks when working with stock that is less than 3” wide or thick.
CAUTION: Never feed with your hand on the end of the stock! Serious injury may result.
1. Always hold your stock rmly against the fence.
2. Always feed at an even rate along the entire length. Hesitations or stops will result in marred
and uneven nishes. Do not feed too fast.
3. Apply even pressure. Start feeding with your left hand forward and your right a couple
inches
behind. As your right hand passes over the blades, move your left hand behind the right. Continue
shifting in this fashion until all of your stock has been planed.
Bevel Planing:
1. Set the fence to the desired angle.
2. Move the fence in or out along the table to accommodate the desired planing width.
3. Plane along the edge of the stock. Make sure you are pushing the sock rmly against the
fence.

Fence Angle Adjustment Lever (52) adjustment:
If one of the Fence Angle Adjustment Levers (52) contacts the Fence (44) while tightening, preventing
it from fully tightening, perform the following steps:
1. Loosen the Tapping Screw (54) enough so that the Fence Angle Adjustment Lever can turn
without turning the Lock Bolt (46/51).
2. Turn the Fence Angle Adjustment Lever until it has enough room to travel to allow proper
operation.
3. Make sure the Fence Angle Adjustment Lever (52) is pressed against the Lock Bolt (46/51)
snugly. Tighten the Tapping Screw (54) securely. Test the fence for proper operation before use.
