OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

MAGNUM INDUSTRIAL 20" HEAVY-DUTY PLANER 

MI-31550 / MI-31552 / MI-31553

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PLANING

This planer is designed to remove material from the top face of a board in order to bring the board (or a series of boards) 
down to a specific desired shape or profile and thickness. To obtain uniform results across the length of a board, the stock 
being planed must have one face that has already been machined perfectly flat (usually on a jointer) and the stock should 
be fed with this flat face against the table.

SELECTING BOARDS

This planer is intended for use with solid woods or MDF only, and should not be used to plane or mould any other materials. 
The workpiece should always be fed through the machine in the general direction of the grain in the wood. Before being fed 
through the planer all lumber should be inspected for debris and foreign objects such as staples or nails.

Foreign objects embedded in your workpiece can be ejected from the machine at high speed, causing serious injury or 
damaging cutter knives. Remove all foreign objects from the wood before planing it. Select lumber carefully and avoid 
workpieces with loose or protruding knots. Also avoid workpieces that are twisted, severely deformed or warped.

Planing warped, twisted, damaged or fragile stock increases the risk of jamming or damaging the machine or cutters, as 
well as increasing the risk of injury to the operator or bystanders from kickback. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is 
forcefully or violently ejected from the machine.

WARNING!

Respect the rated capacity of this machine. Ignoring these ratings and feeding non-compatible 

stock into this planer can lead to serious injury to the user and/or bystanders and cause damage 

to the workpiece and/or the machine. See Figure 12.
