Hints for optimum use
u
Move the tool along the grain of the wood.
u
If the grain is cross or curly, or if the workpiece material is
a hard type of wood, adjust the depth of cut to take only a

achieve the desired result.
u
To keep the tool in a straight line, press down the front of
the tool at the start, and press down the back of the tool at
the end of the cutting stroke.
