OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thick-
ness stock can be passed through the planer
side by side. However, allow some spacing
between the stock to permit the feed rollers to
grip the thinnest piece of stock. Otherwise, a
slightly thinner piece could be kicked back by
the cutterhead.
Place the workpiece flat on the table top.
Determine the depth of cut as described before.
Switch on the tool and wait until the blades attain full
speed. The workpiece should not be in contact with the
feed roller when you turn the tool on.
Then insert the workpiece flush with the table top.
When cutting a long or heavy workpiece, lift up its end
slightly at the start and the end of the cut to avoid goug-
ing or snipping at the extreme ends of the workpiece.
The use of the tool top enables quick, effortless return
of the workpiece to the infeed table side. This is espe-
cially convenient with two operators.
