Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
acceptable for planing.
2. Puts on safety glasses or a face shield, a
respirator, and ear protection.
3. If necessary, uses a jointer to make one sur-
face of the workpiece flat.
4. Correctly adjusts the worktable height for the
operation.
5. If the workpiece is longer than can be sup-
ported by the planer table, arranges for
assistance or roller accessories to support
the workpiece.
6. When all safety precautions have been taken,
turns the planer
ON, then sets the correct
feed rate for the operation.
7. Stands to one side of the planer path to
reduce the risk of kickback injuries, then, with
the flat surface of the workpiece facing down,
feeds the workpiece into the planer until the
infeed roller grabs it.
8. Once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed
roller, turns the planer
OFF.
