2. Pull out and lock each extension roller to support long stock
3. Start dust collection.
4. Start planer.
5. Adjust feed speed to desired speed (16 or 28 FPM), while planer is running.

planer.
7. Reposition yourself to the outfeed side of planer and control and support stock until it has exited the

Helpful Tips
• PLANERS WORK BEST IF ONE FACE OF STOCK IS FLAT. IF NOT, FLATTEN WITH A JOINTER OR DRUM SANDER.
• IF NOT POSSIBLE TO FLATTEN ONE FACE, PROCESS CUPPED MATERIAL WITH THE CUP “UP” SO THE MATERIAL IS
STABLE ON THE PLANER BED.
• IF MATERIAL IS SEVERELY CUPPED, ANOTHER OPTION IS TO RIP THE MATERIAL, PLANE IT AND GLUE IT BACK
TOGETHER.
• PLANE WITH THE DIRECTION OF GRAIN TO REDUCE TEAR-OUT AND PROVIDE THE BEST SURFACE FINISH.
