5. Slowly feed the workpiece into themachine.
6. Feed the workpiece in the direction of thegrain.
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact the cutters. To
avoidsnipe:
1. Keep the workpiece level throughout the planingoperation.
2. Feed the workpiece flat against thetable.
Warping (Fig. P1–P4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce the desiredthickness.
Bowed Workpieces (Fig. P1, P2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece (Fig. P1). The bowed
shape, however, will return after planing (Fig.P2).
•To remove the bow, use ajointer.
Cupped Workpieces (Fig. P3, P4)
1. Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (Fig. P3).
2. Plane the pieces separately to eliminatewaste.
3. Alternatively, plane the top flat55 first, turn the workpiece over and plane the bottom
flat56 (Fig. P4).
Dust Extraction (Fig. A1)
The machine is provided with a 100 mm dust extraction port on the guard/chip collector4.
Provided with a suitable dust extraction device, 90% of the produced shaving can be caught if
the air flow is at least 20 m/s.
Connect a suitable dust extraction device during alloperations.
Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant
regulations regarding dustemission.
Transporting (Fig. Q1, Q2)
