• Put on your safety glasses and hearing protection.
• Clean stock with brush and check for defects and metal.

take into account the bow or cup.
• Open blast gate.
• Turn on dust collection.
• Turn on planer.
• Make sure the cutter head is at full speed before placing piece in the planer.

boards of varying thickness.
• Turn cup of board concave down.
• Once feed rollers have taken grip of the piece let go. Don’t try to move piece once this
has occurred.
• When off bearing planer do not take hold of piece until it has cleared finish roller or
