Before planing:

Only use pure solid wood and check that the workpiece contains no stones or metal, nails, staples, etc.

Surface planing:

  1. Start the machine and wait until it reaches full speed before planing
  2. The minimum length of the workpiece is 300mm and minimum thickness is 10mm.
  3. Determine the jointing thickness by adjusting the front table. Recommended thickness is 1-2mm.
  4. The wider side of workpiece (face) is planed first, with the concave side facing down.
  5. Press the workpiece firmly against the table and stopper. Keep you fingers on a bunch on top of the workpiece and push/ press the piece with a palm of your hand.
  6. Slide the piece under the blade guard so that your hands slide on top of the blade guard.

Thickness planing:

  1. Start the machine and wait until it reaches full speed before feeding the workpiece.
  2. The minimum length of the workpiece is 300mm and minimum thickness is 5mm.
  3. Feed the piece into the machine with the side that was treated with the surface planer facing the table.
  4. The pulling device pulls the piece through the machine.
  5. If the piece is stuck in the machine: Turn off the machine, wait until it has stopped completely, lower the table and push the piece with a stick to remove it from the machine.

After planing:

  1. Turn off the machine and wait for it to stop.
  2. Clean the machine and its surroundings.
