Do not plane, joint 0r bevel wood shorter than 12 in,
Material this short is more difficult to control while
being cut. Small pieces of wood can tip over on the
tables or into the cutterhead and can be kicked back to-
ward you.
For best results, take light cuts. For average planing,
jointing, or beveling, a cut between 1/32 and 1/16 in,
deep will produce the best results.

FEEDING THE WORKPIECE
Hold the board firmly DOWN on both tables and
AGAINST the fence . . . keep fingers close together.
Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed until
the cut is made along the entire length of the board. Any
hesitation or stopping could cause a "step" to be cut
on the edge of the board which would cause the board
to ride Up on the outfeed table resulting in.a "crooked'"
edge on the board,
JOINTING WOOD THAT IS WIDER THAN 3 IN,
As the RIGHT hand passes over the cutterhead, remove
the LEFT hand, . , CONTINUE feeding white placing
the LEFT hand behind the RIGHT, Continue feeding
in this manner "hand over hand", until the entire
length of the board is cut.
DO NOT FEED TOO FAST. A slow steady rate of feed
produces a smooth accurate cut. Feedingtoo fast causes
a "rippled" cut . . . makes it difficult to guide the
workpiece accurately and could be hazardous.
PLANING WOOD THAT IS THICKER THAN 3 IN.
