Operation
CAUTION:
Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness stock can be passed through the
planer side by side. However, allow some spacing between the stock to permit the feed
rollers to grip the thinnest piece. Otherwise, a slightly thinner piece could be kicked back
by the cutterhead

Place the workpiece flat on the table top.
Determine the depth of cut as described
before. Switch on the tool and wait until
the blades attain full speed. The workpiece
should not be in contact with the feed roller
when you turn the tool on. Then insert the
workpiece flush with the table top.
When cutting a long or heavy workpiece,
lift up its end slightly at the start and the
end of the cut to avoid gouging or sniping
at the extreme ends of the workpiece.

*Stop the tool when the workpiece has stalled. Allowing the tool to run with a stalled
workpiece causes rapid wearing of the feed rollers.
