Planing operation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon
the workpiece surface without the blades
making any contact. Switch on and wait
until the blades attain full speed. Then
move the tool gently forward. Apply pres-
sure on the front of tool a t the start of
planing, and a t the back a t the end of
planing. Planing will be easier if you incline
the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that
you can plane somewhat downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the
kind of finish. The power planer keeps cut-
ting a t a speed that will not result in jam-
ming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for a good
finish you should reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
