3. Boards longer than 24” should be supported (on both the infeed and outfeed
sides of the Planer) by roller stands (not included). Do not plane boards that
are less than 17” long. The force of the cut could split the board and cause

5. Plug the Planer into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. Then turn
on the Planer.
6. Slowly push the board into the infeed side of the Planer. Slide the board into the
Planer until the infeed Roller (205) begins to automatically advance the board

7. Move to the rear on one side of the Planer and receive the planed board as it
exits the Planer.
8. CAUTION:
A. Do not stand directly in line with the front or rear of the Planer.
B. Do not grip any portion of the board which has not exited past the outfeed
Roller (198).
