WARNING: For your own safety, ALWAYS use the hold
down/push blocks when JOINTING wood that is
NARROWER than 3 tn.... or when PLANING wood that is
THINNER than 3 in.
Do not plane, joint or bevel wood shorter than 12 in.
Material this short is more difficult to control while being
cut. S mall pieces of wood can tip over on the tables or into
, , , i
the cutterhead and can be kicked back toward you.
For your own safety, never operate this tool with the fence
or guards removed.
For best results, take light cuts. For average planing,
jointing, or beveling, a cut between t/32 and t/16 in. deep
will produce the best results.
FEEDING THE WORKPIECE
Hold the board firmly DOWN on both tables and AGAINST
the fence.., keep fingers close together.
Feed the boa rd at a continuous even rate of speed u ntil the
cut is made along the entire length of the board. Any
hesitation or stopping could cause a "step" to be cut on
the edge of the board which would cause the board to ride
up on the outfeed table resulting in a "crooked" edge on
the board.

JOINTING WOOD THAT IS WIDER THAN 3 IN.
As the RIGHT hand passe s over the cutterhead, remove
the LEFT hand... CONTINUE feeding while placing the
LEFT hand behind the RIGHT. Continue feeding in this
manner "hand over hand", until the entire length of the
board is cut. Pressure should be applied over the cutter-
head and outfeed table.
DO NOT FEED TOO FAST. A stow steady: rate of feed
produces a smooth accurate cut. Feeding too fast causes
a "rippled" cut,., makes it difficult to guide the workpiece ....
accurately and could be hazardous.
