Operation Tips ¸ Lumber should be clean and dry. Inspect for defects like loose knots, warping, cupping, twisting, glue and for foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the quality of your lumber, do not use it. Wood with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed to rain or snow, will plane poorly and leave a feathery surface. Wet wood causes excessive wear to the knives and motor and can also hasten rust and corrosion. ¸ In order to create
