PLANING STEP-BY-STEP
1.
With the planer turned off, position the workpiece
on the infeed table with the flat face down and the
face to be planed facing up.
2.
Adjust the depth of cut
A
(see section “Adjusting
depth of cut).
5.
Align the board laterally so that it will be fed through
the planer in the general direction of the grain, and
allow the workpiece enough clearance to feed
properly without rubbing or catching on either side
of the machine.
6.
Slowly slide the workpiece forward until the infeed
roller “grips” the board.
7.
Release the board allowing the feed roller to auto-
matically feed the board through the planer.
8.
Step to the rear of the machine and recover the planed
board on the outfeed table once it has cleared the
outfeed roller and has stopped advancing.
