7. Stands to one side of the planer path to re-
duce the risk of kickback injuries, then, with
the flat surface of the workpiece facing down,
feeds the workpiece into the planer until the
infeed roller grabs it.
8. Once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed
roller, turns the planer OFF.
PLANING TIPS
• Use the full width of the planer. Alternate
between the left, the right and the middle of
the table when feeding lumber into the planer.
Your knives will remain sharp much longer.
• Scrape all glue off of joined boards before
planing. Dried glue is extremely hard on the
knives.
• Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Do not plane
wood composites or other materials that could
break up in the planer and cause operator in-
jury or property damage.
• To avoid chipping, plane the workpiece with
the grain. NEVER feed end-cut or end grained
lumber into your planer.
• Keep your work area clear to help ensure safe
working conditions.
• Always true any cupped or warped stock on a
jointer before planing and feed the workpiece
into the planer with the flat face down. This
will ensure the workpiece will not rock or twist
as it goes through the planer.
• When possible, plane both faces of the work-
piece so that they will be parallel with one an-
other.
WORKPIECE INSPECTION
Some work pieces are not safe to use or may re-
quire modification before they are. Before cut-
ting, inspect all work pieces for the following:
• Material Type: This machine is only intended
for work pieces of natural wood fiber Attempt-
ing to use work pieces of any other material
that may break apart during operation could
lead to serious personal injury and property
damage.
• Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for defects
and foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded
gravel, etc,). If you have any question about
the quality of your lumber, DO NOT use it.
Remember, wood stacked on a concrete floor
can have small pieces of stone or concrete
pressed into the surface.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become
dislodged during operation. Large knots can
cause kickback and machine damage.
Always use work pieces that do not have large/
loose knots.
• Wet or “Green” Stock: Avoid using wood
with a high water content. Wood with more
than 20% moisture content or wood exposed
to excessive moisture (such as rain or snow),
will cut poorly and cause excessive wear to the
machine. Excess moisture can also hasten rust
and corrosion of the machine and/or individual
components.
• Excessive Warping: Work pieces with exces-
sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are danger-
ous to cut because they are unstable and often
unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT use
work pieces with these characteristics!
• Minor Cupping: Work pieces with slight cup-
ping can be safely supported if the cupped side
is facing the table. On the contrary, a work-
piece supported on the bowed side will rock
during operation and could cause severe injury
from kickback.
WOOD HARDNESS
The species of wood, as well as its condition,
greatly affects the depth of cut the planer can
effectively take with each pass.
The chart in the figure below shows the Janka
Hardness Rating for a number of commonly
used species. The larger the number, the hard-
er the workpiece, and the less material should
be removed in any one pass for good results.
NOTE: The Janka Hardness Rating is expressed
in pounds of force required to embed a 0.444”
steel ball into the surface of the wood to a
depth equal to half the ball’s diameter.
