Planing Action
(Fig. 5, Fig. 9, Fig. 10)
The motor may stall if im-
properly used or overload-
ed. Reduce the pressure (feed rate) or depth
of cut to prevent possible damage to the
tool if the motor labors.
Proper planing action helps to achieve the
desired result. With practice and experience,
it will become second nature. Make sure
that the workpiece is held in place securely
on your work surface, and standing comfort-
ably, hold the planer firmly with both hands.
1. With the planer fully adjusted, place the
Front Shoe 42 on the Workpiece 43, (be
certain that the Cutter Drum 21 is not
in contact with the Workpiece 43) and
start the planer as described earlier.
2. With pressure on the Front Shoe 42,
and the fence against the side of the
work (to control the width or angle)
feed the planer steadily until the full
length of the Rear Shoe 44 passes over
the edge of the Workpiece 43.
3. Then gradually transfer pressure to the
Rear Shoe 44, and continue planing to
the end of the cut.
4. If pressure is not maintained over
