Planing Do's & Don'ts
Figure 35. Only plane one board at a
time.
There are common mistakes that must be avoided when
planing.
Sacrificial Table Use
If using a sacrificial table, you must clamp it to the cast
iron table (see Figure 36) to prevent workpiece ejection.
Never stack two boards on top of one another and feed
them both into the planer/moulder to compensate for a
workpiece that may be too thin. Planing with two loose
stacked boards can result in workpiece ejection, causing
injury.
Multiple Boards
Only plane one board at a time (see Figure 35). Whether
you use guide rails or not, never attempt to plane more
than one board at a time side-by-side. If one board is
slightly lower that the other, the feed roller will only
hold the highest board, while the lower board will be
free to slip when the knife contacts it. This hazardous
situation can result in one board being ejected from the
machine, causing serious injury.
