Operating Instructions

Turn on the planer by flipping the switch upward. Adjust the depth setting as needed and feed material evenly. Always use push sticks or other safety devices;

Preparing the Planer for Use

Before operating, ensure the planer is on a stable surface and the power cord is undamaged. Mount the cutter knives as described in the manual, ensuring all bolts are tightened. Remove any dust covers and check for wear on belts and pulleys, replacing if necessary. Warm up the motor for a few minutes before use to ensure optimal performance. Always follow safety guidelines and wear protective gear to minimize risks during operation.

Starting the Planer

Locate the power switch, typically positioned for easy access. Ensure the area is clear and all safety precautions are in place. Flip the switch upward to start the motor. Allow the planer to reach full operating speed before engaging materials. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask. Ensure the cutter knives are properly installed and aligned as per the manual. If unsure, consult the safety guidelines before proceeding.

Adjusting the Planer Settings

Before adjusting, ensure the planer is unplugged. Use the depth adjustment knob to set the desired cutting depth, checking the scale for accuracy. For material thickness, utilize the thickness gauge or included tools. Lock the setting firmly to prevent shifting during operation. Adjustments should be precise to avoid uneven cuts. Always refer to the manual for specific guidance on calibrating settings for different materials, such as hardwood or softwood, to achieve optimal results.

Handling Different Materials

The DW735 planer excels with various materials, including hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered wood. For hardwoods, use slower feed rates and lighter cuts to minimize tear-out. Softwoods may require deeper cuts but be cautious of resin buildup. Engineered woods need consistent pressure to avoid delamination. Always ensure materials are properly aligned and supported. Adjust cutter head speed and depth based on material thickness and type for optimal results. Refer to the manual for specific recommendations to achieve precise finishes across different lumber types safely and efficiently.
