3. Start the feed motor last.
A light above the start buttons should illuminate as the motors are started.
4. Slow the speed of the feed rollers down using he knob on the planetary gear. Turn the
knob until you see the rollers slow down to their lowest speed.
5. Place the board on the infeed side of the table against the fence.
6. Slide the board into the machine, with the right side firmly against the fence, until you feel
the feed rollers begin to pull the board through the machine.
7. Watch the board feed through the planer through the observation window that is inte-
grated into the lid.
8. Stop the machine with the stop button when the board gets just past the left side cutter,
just before it comes in contact with the pressure roller next to the left side cutter.
Check the length of the fence. If needed, loosen the bolts holding the front of the fence to
the mounting brackets, sliding the fence to the correct position. Be sure and check rota-
tion of the right cutter head before setting.
