When Planing:
1. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM is required for this planer. Please make sure the system is on and provide
enough suction before starting the planer.
2. KICKBACK happens when a workpiece is ejected, usually towards the infeed side of the planer, during
operation. This can cause serious injuries or even death. The operator should be cautious about
possible kickbacks.
• ALWAYS wear proper protection devices and stay away from the line-of-fire to avoid kickback-
related accidents.
• NEVER look inside the planer during operation.
• NEVER plane boards that are shorter than 5” as mentioned in the specifications.
3. PROPER WORKPIECE FEEDING avoids kickback. Never start the machine with the workpiece engaging
the cutterhead. Never start feeding until the planer has reached its full speed. Ensure feed rollers
apply an adequate amount of pressure on the workpiece.
• NEVER force a workpiece through the planer. Make adjustments as needed.
• ONLY plane one board at a time.
• For twisted workpieces, face joint with a jointer before thickness planing.
4. STUCK WORKPIECE should be removed only after the planer is powered off, and the cutterhead
comes to a complete stop. Do not use hands or push sticks to force-feed a workpiece through the
planer, as it can result in severe injuries and/or machine damage.
5. DEPTH OF CUT SETTINGS: Do not force the planer to exceed its maximum depth of cut capacity found
in the specification. Failing to comply can cause machine damage and injuries. Reduce the depth of
cut for hard materials as that increases the planer’s workload.
After Operation
1. STOP THE MACHINE if the operator leaves the machine for any reason.
2. WAIT until the machine comes to a complete stop.
3. CLEAN UP work area before departure.
