SAFETY

RULES

dothtlng Is a surfeclng operatLon in which a smaLL
amount of wood is removed from the edges and feces of
boards to get smooth, straight and even surfaces such
that the two edges that run across the planing blocks
would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless joint.
Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickhess while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite size of the board. Depth of cut is the term used to
iedlcete how deep the blades will cut into the workplece.
WARNING: Operation of any power tool Can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles

The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure
proper operation and should require no adjusb'nent,
However, shipping and handling may have caused ruesalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades must be
0.003" higher than the outfeed table when positioned at
the highest point. To check blade height:
•

Block the blade guard from closing using a scrap
piece of wood about 6V_"long between the fence
and blade guard.

For proper operation, it is preferable to use the jblnter with
a dust collectingsystem (see "Using a Vacuum Hose",

•

Hold the board firmly down on both tables and
against the fence.
Keep fingers close together.

USING HOLD DOWN/PUSH
Refer to Figure 15.

Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed.
Any hesitation or stopping could cause a "step" to be
cut on the edge of the board.

•

BLOCKS

Always use hold-down/push-blocks when jolndng, or
rabbeting wood that is narrower than 3", planing
wood thinner than 3".

CHECKING

FOR WORN

BLADES

Condition of blades will affect precision of cut. If blade
wear is not observed when checking the btade height,
the quality of cut will indicate the blade condition. Dull
blades will tear rather than sever wood fiber. A raised

• Partially cover the stone with paper to protect the
table top.
• Position in_=ed table so stone will contact blade
along its beveled surface.
• Stroke the stone across blade from one side to other
while stone is also moved slightly in the direction of
feed.
• Make sure to do the same number of atTokeson
each place.
