Speed Selection (Fig. 8)
NOTE: Only switch speeds when the planer is running.
Your planer has the ability to feed material

at two different speeds. The two-speed
feature (P) was designed to improve
efficiency when planing and to provide the
best possible surface finish to a variety of
materials.
To remove material thickness more quickly,
set the unit at speed “2”. This setting
delivers 96 cuts per inch to the material.
For finishing, set the unit to speed “1”. Speed “1” is ideal for ensuring
the finest finish on the last pass before your final thickness is achieved.
NOTE: When planing particularly hard or figured species of wood,
speed “1” is recommended. The slower feed rate will reduce knife
wear and tear-out by delivering 179 cuts per inch to the material.
Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System
Your planer is equipped with a fan-assisted chip ejection system to
aid in exhausting chips from the unit. The fan-assisted chip ejection
system will work in conjunction with independent dust collection
systems.
NOTE: It is not recommended that a shop vac be connected to the
DW735. The capacity of most vacs does not support the volume of
chips ejected during planing. The vacuum hose may clog stopping
the flow of chips.
See the Troubleshooting Guide, for additional information.
Automatic Carriage Lock
There is no manual carriage lock on your planer. A device that
automatically minimizes the movement that causes snipe during
planing is designed into the four threaded posts.
Turret Stop (Fig. 9)
Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (Q) for

repetitive planing at pre-set depths. Stops are set
at 1/8" (3 mm), 1/4" (6.5 mm), 1/2" (12.7 mm),
3/4" (19mm), 1" (25.5mm), and 1-1/4" (32mm).
TO SET THE MINIMUM DEPTH TO WHICH
THE CARRIAGE CAN TRAVEL WITH THE
TURRET STOP
1. Be sure the carriage is set above 1-1/4"
(32mm) before trying to set the turret stop.
2. Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the desired
thickness setting aligns with the red indicator, then lower the
carriage.
3. Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the correct final
thickness is achieved.
NOTE: Do not use force to crank the carriage below the level
that the turret stop indicates. Permanent damage to the height
adjust ment system on your planer will result.
PLANING BASICS
Proper Planing Technique
TO PLANE YOUR MATERIAL
1. Lower the carriage to the desired height for your first pass.
2. Turn the unit on and feed the material into the feed rollers.
3. Examine the finished cut and adjust the carriage to the
appropriate height for your next pass.
NOTE: Flip the board back and forth between each pass as
recommended in Proper Planing Techniques.
