as high as the out feed table when positioned at the highest point. To check blade height:
⚫
Loosen the bridge cover locking knob, pull out the bridge cover.
⚫
Turn the cutter head so that one of the blades is at the highest position.
CAUTION: The cutter head blades are extremely sharp. Do not let your fingers contact the cutting
edge at any time.
⚫
Place a straightedge over the out feed table and the blade
⚫
The straight edge must touch evenly on the out feed table at both ends of the blade.
⚫
Rotate the cutter head by hand. The blades should just touch the straightedge. If a blade is too low or
too high at either end, adjust blade height using the jack screws.
AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
Planer is a precision woodworking machine and should only be used on quality lumber. Using bad lumber
could result in a poor quality cut on subsequent pieces.
For proper operation, it is preferable to use the Planer with a dust collecting system attached to the exhaust
port in the rear of the jointer. Attaching a dust collecting system is especially required when taking deeper
cuts to prevent clogging of wood chips
⚫
Do not use dirty boards. Dirt and stones are abrasive and will wear blade
⚫
Remove nails and staples. Planer should only cut wood.
⚫
Avoid knots. Heavy cross-grain makes knots hard and they can come loose and jam the planer.
⚫
Assess value of badly warped boards. Operator can be tempted to use too deep of cut to square
boards quickly. Use several passes to maintain a level surface.
FEEDING WORKPIECE
Feed rate refers to the rate at which wood is passed over the blades, an even feed will produce a
uniformed job, to feed work piece:
Adjust the bridge cover to desired position, and tighten the knob.
Hold the work piece firmly down on the feed table and against the fence.
Feed the work piece at an even rate over the cutting head,
any hesitation or stopping will cause a “step” to
be cut in the work piece.
As your trailing hand passes over the cutter head remove your leading hand and place behind your trailing
hand and repeat until the entire length of work piece has been cut.
Feed with the grain whenever possible, if the nature of the work piece is such that it must be feed against
