Operation Overview Planing Tips
• Use the full width of the planer. Alternate the
cutting path between the left, the right and
the middle of the table to evenly distribute the
wear across all inserts.
• Scrape all glue off of joined boards before
planing.
• Plane ONLY natural wood. Do not plane
wood composites or any other man-made
material.
• Plane the workpiece with the grain. NEVER
feed end-cut or end-grained lumber into your
planer.
• Keep your work area clear.
• Always true any cupped or warped stock on
a jointer before planing.
• When making multiple passes through the
planer on long stock, use the stock return
rollers on top of the machine to move the
material back to the infeed side.
• When possible, plane both faces of the
workpiece so that they will be parallel with
one another.
This overview gives you the basic process that
happens during an operation with this machine.
Familiarize yourself with this process to better
understand the remaining parts of the Operation
section.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Makes sure the workpiece is clean and free
of any defects or foreign materials that might
cause kickback or damage the sander.
2. Adjusts the height of the table for the correct
depth of cut.
3. Starts the dust collection system.
4. Connects the planer to power and turns it
ON.
5. While standing to the side of the machine,
lays the workpiece on the infeed table and
feeds it into the machine until the infeed roller
engages it and moves it past the cutterhead.
6. When the workpiece exits the planer, returns
it to the infeed table and makes as many
passes as necessary, then turns the planer
OFF.
