PRE OPERATION
1. Prepare the workspace: clear the table except for the workpiece or stock.
2. Adjust cutting depth: adjust table heights, always adjust planer with power off and unit unplugged (if
digital, set up following manufacturers set up instructions).
3. Select stock: only use with approved stock as per manufacturers recommendations including type, size
and thickness.
4. Inspect the wood: avoid loose knots, defects, nails or foreign objects, or twisted, deformed or warped
stock.
5. Start dust collector: turn it on before powering up the planer and starting the cut.
6. Select the speed: only adjust the speed when the machine is running. Do not change the speed while
cutting as that will cause kickback.
