5.) Adjust & Set Feed Rate Speed (See Fig. C Below) to desired Speed (10 or 30 FPM), while planer is running.
WARNING! THIS ACTION WILL VOID WARRANTY! IF OPERATOR DOES NOT ADJUST DESIRED SPEED
WHILE PLANER IS RUNNING.
6.) Feed stock into planer, maintain control and support of stock until the stock is securely feeding through planer.

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
