PLANING WARPED PIECES
If the wood to be planed is dished or warped, take light
cuts until the surface is flat. Avoid forcing such material
down against the table; excessive pressure will spring it
while passing the knives, and it will spring back and
remain curved after the cut is completed.

DIRECTION OF GRAIN
Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain as
shown in Fig. 72. The result will be chipped and
splintered edges. Feed with the grain as shown in Fig.
73, to obtain a smooth surface.
PLANING SHORT OR THIN WORK
When planing short or thin pieces, always use push
blocks to minimize all danger to the hands. Fig. 70,
illustrates using the Delta Push Blocks properly.
