Model G0841 (Mfd. Since 06/18)
-33-
13. Sets feed rate for planing operation (refer to
Feed Rate on Page 41 for more information).
14. Stands an arms-length away from infeed
table to reduce risk of contacting feed track,
then feeds workpiece into front of machine
until feed track grabs it.
Note: Feed system controls feed rate of
workpiece as it passes through machine.
Operator does not push or pull on workpiece.
— If the depth of cut is too much and the
machine bogs down, immediately turn it
OFF . Allow cutterheads to come to com-
plete stop, then raise headstock remove
the workpiece. Reduce the depth of cut
and repeat
Step 14.
15. Once workpiece is clear of machine and
stops moving, operator removes workpiece
from planer table and measures workpiece
thickness. If further planing is required, oper-
ator "zeroes" lower cutterhead depth of cut,
adjusts upper cutterhead to slightly increase
depth of cut , then feeds workpiece into front
of machine again.
16. Continues process until desired workpiece
thickness is achieved, then turns machine
OFF.
To avoid kickback, only feed workpieces
into machine when feed system is ON. To
reduce likelihood of jams, DO NOT change
feed rate speed during cutting operation,
and allow 1" gaps between workpieces and
table rails when feeding multiple workpieces
into machine. DO NOT cut multiple boards
of thicknesses varying more than
3
⁄
16
" side-
by-side at same time.
Planing Tips
•
Keep your work area clear to help ensure
safe working conditions.
•
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Do not
plane wood composites or other materials
that could break up in the planer and cause
operator injury or damage to planer.
•
Inspect all stock to make sure it is free of
excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting. Stock
with these characteristics is dangerous to
plane.
•
Inspect all stock to make sure it is free
of large knots or foreign objects that may
damage your inserts, cause kickback, or be
ejected from the machine.
•
Scrape off excess glue when planing glued-
up panels. Dried glue can dull inserts.
•
Get assistance from another person if you
are planing long lumber, or use roller stands
to support the workpiece.
•
Measure the workpiece thickness before and
after cutting with calipers to get exact results.
•
Never remove more than the recommended
amount of material on each pass. Remove
less material on each pass when planing
wide or dense stock.
•
When possible, plane equal amounts on
each side of the board to reduce the chance
of twisting or cupping.
•
Use the entire width of the machine to wear
inserts evenly. With narrow workpieces, alter-
nate between far left, far right, and the middle
of the table. Your inserts will remain sharp
much longer. Alternatively, plane multiple
workpieces of similar thicknesses side-by-
side.
•
To avoid "chip marks," always plane WITH
the grain direction of the wood. Never plane
cross-grain or end-grain.
Planing Tips
The Model G0841 is not designed to flat-
ten excessively cupped, bowed, or twisted
stock. For best results, use a standard joint-
er to flatten stock with these characteristics
before running it through this machine.
