5. THE DO’S AND DONT’S OF GRAIN
DIRECTION
It is important that the planer should always
be cutting in the same direction as the grain
of the wood (Fig. F). There are six sides to
every board: two face grains, two side/edge
grains, and two end grains. You can plane
along the direction of the grain with the face
grain or side/edge grain facing upwards, but
never plane with the end grain side facing
upwards. Otherwise, the board has a chance
of splintering and exploding inside of the
planer, which could cause serious injury and
damage. When planing the face and side/edge grain, always plane in the direction
of the grain. Do not plane perpendicular to the grain, otherwise the board also has
a chance of splintering and exploding.
WARNING: Never plane against the grain direction of the wood. Do not plane end
grain, as the wood could splinter or possibly explode.
6. DETERMINING THE FEED RATE
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the depth of
the cut. Moving the planer too fast may cause a poor quality of cut and can damage
the blades or the motor; moving the machine too slowly may burn or mar the cut.
Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and cutting
dimensions.
7. PLANING
CAUTION: Hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque from
the motor can cause the tool to twist.
1. Unplug the planer and adjust the edge guide and cutting depth as appropriate.
2. Clamp the workpiece securely to a workbench.
3. Connect the power cord of your planer to a standard household power outlet.
4. While standing comfortably, hold the planer firmly with both hands.
5. Place the front base of the planer against the workpiece surface without the
blades making any contact with the workpiece.
6. Switch on the tool, allow it to reach full speed, and guide the tool with even feed
over the surface to be planed.
