To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
acceptable for planing.
2. puts on safety glasses or a face shield, a
respirator, and ear protection.
3. if necessary, uses a jointer to make one sur-
face of the workpiece flat.
4. Correctly adjusts the worktable height for the
operation.
5. if the workpiece is longer than can be sup-
ported by the planer table, arranges for
assistance or roller accessories to support
the workpiece.
6. When all safety precautions have been taken,
turns the planer ON, then sets the correct
feed rate for the operation.
7. stands to one side of the planer path to
reduce the risk of kickback injuries, then, with
the flat surface of the workpiece facing down,
feeds the workpiece into the planer until the
infeed roller grabs it.
8. once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed
roller, turns the planer OFF.
Planing Tips
• Use the full width of the planer. Alternate
between the left, the right and the middle of
the table when feeding lumber into the planer.
your knives will remain sharp much longer.
• scrape all glue off of joined boards before
planing. dried glue is extremely hard on the
knives.
• plane only natural wood fiber. do not
plane wood composites or other materials
that could break up in the planer and cause
operator injury or property damage.
• to avoid chipping, plane the workpiece with
the grain. nEvEr feed end-cut or end-
grained lumber into your planer.
• Keep your work area clear to help ensure
safe working conditions.
• Always true any cupped or warped stock on a
jointer before planing and feed the workpiece
into the planer with the flat face down. this
will ensure the workpiece will not rock or twist
as it goes through the planer.
• When possible, plane both faces of the
workpiece so that they will be parallel with
one another.
