How to operate
- Connect the dust collection hose
- Set the height of the table. Your board should pass just underneath the metal plate in the middle
- If your board is particularly long, set up support rollers on the infeed and outfeed sides to match the current height
- Turn the dust collector on
- Turn the planer on
- Feed your board in straight until the rollers grab it and start to pull it
- Move towards the outfeed side to support the end of it as it comes out
- Once the board has exited the planer, carry it back to the in feed, adjust the height either an eight of a turn or a quarter of a turn
- Make another pass, and repeat steps 6 through 8 until the board is the desired thickness
- Turn off the planer and dust collector. Sweep up any chips around the planer. You can leave the dust collection hose connected
General Tips and Safety
- Inspect your board for knots or loose pieces that could come flying out. Remove them before sending through the planer.
- If a workpiece is jammed, it may be because your board is not perfectly flat. Try taking a lighter pass. For more severely distorted boards flatten the board out on one side first.
