If machine stalls or workpiece gets stuck:
• Carriage height is set too low.
• Stop the machine and wait for it to come to a complete stop, then remove the workpiece.
• Reduce the depth of cut, and restart from step 4.
6. If the workpiece is feeding properly, wait until the entire workpiece clears the outfeed roller, then
remove the workpiece.
7. After the initial pass, measure workpiece thickness in the midsection.
If more material needs to be removed, continue with the following steps.
8. If you need to remove a lot of material, run a few passes with deeper cuts, then finish with a light pass
with shallow cuts.
9. The depth of cut for each pass should be less than 3/64”. For workpieces 5” wide or less, the depth of
cut can be as much as 5/64". Reduce the maximum depth of cut for harder wood types. Use DRO or
the depth gauge on the carriage elevation crank to measure the depth of cut.
10. Repeat until the workpiece is plane down to the desired thickness.
Turn the machine off when the operation completes.
