MasterCraft 55-5504-2 User Manual

Workpiece support
Prevent sagging or snipes in the workpiece during planing. Support the workpiece by placing
supports on both ends of the planer or install your planer at a depth where the planer meets
your work bench. The supports must be at the same height of the planer or depth of
installation must be at the same height as the planer. The workpiece should be supported for
its entire length.
Setting the planing depth (Fig. 8, 9, 10)
NOTE: You must establish the starting point
before you attempt to plane the surface. The
cutterhead contact with the workpiece should
only be enough to brush the surface.
DO NOT set the cutterhead too deep.
Measure the workpiece at its thickest part.
Use the measurement scale (1) at the feed end
of the planer to approximate the starting point
of the first pass. Your first attempt at planing is
to brush the surface.
It is good practice to measure the workpiece
after every planing operation.
