and before unplugging.
Planing
WARNING:
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with
loose knots. Do not plane wood that is severely knotted
or warped.
• Your DW733 works best with at least one flat surface.
• For optimal results, plane both sides of your workpiece
to reach the desired thickness.

WARNING: Feed the workpiece in the direction of the
grain (fig. G).
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact
the cutters. To avoid snipe:
• Make sure the extension tables are level with the main table.
• Keep the workpiece level throughout the planing operation.
• Feed the workpiece flat against the tables.
Warping (fi g. H1–H4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce
the desired thickness.
BOWED WORKPIECES (FIG. H1, H2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece
(fig. H1). The bowed shape, however, will return after planing (fig. H2).
To remove the bow, use a jointer.
CUPPED WORKPIECES (FIG. H3, H4)
1. Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (fig. H3).
2. Plane the pieces separately to eliminate waste.
3. Alternatively, plane the top flat (37) first, then turn the workpiece
over and plane the bottom flat (38) (fig. H4).
Dust Extraction (fi g. A2, I)
WARNING: Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction
device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations
regarding dust emission. The air velocity of externally
connected systems shall be 20 m/s +/- 2 m/s velocity
to be measured in the connection tube at the point of
connection, with the tool connected but not running.
1. Mount the dust extraction adaptor (13) using the screws (39).
2. Insert the reduction bush (40) as shown.
Transporting (fi g. A1, A2)
When transporting your DW733, always carry it by the carrying handles
(4) or handholds (7).
When transporting or storing your machine, use the cord wrap (11) to
keep the cord in place.

part of the tool into a liquid.
WARNING:
• Keep the tables clean and free from grease. Regularly
apply some wax to the tables.
• Keep the machine free from dust and shavings.
Before use, carefully check the cutterhead to determine that it will
