WARNING: Use support blocks whenever possible.
1.
Adjust the support fence so that the distance between the
end of the blades and the support fence is equal to the width
of the groove to be made.
2. Lower the feed table by an amount equal to the depth of the
slot to be made. If the groove is very deep, it may be necessary
to make the cut in two or more passes. In that case, the table
is lowered by an amount equal to about half the depth of the
slot for the first pass and then the table is lowered again to
the correct depth to finish the cut.
EDGING OR PLANNING WARPED WOOD
If the wood to be edged is uneven or curved, make light cuts until
the surface is flat. Avoid forcing the wood against the table as
excessive pressure may increase its speed as it passes over the
blades and slow it down, causing the board to remain curved or
misaligned even after the cut is completed.
EDGING SHORT OR THIN WOOD
When edging short or thin pieces, always use support blocks to
eliminate hand hazards. Fig. 55 illustrates the proper use of support
blocks while edging a board.
IMPORTANT: Do not perform planning operations on material less
than 10" (25 cm) long, narrower than 3/4" (19 mm), wider than 6"
(15 cm) or thinner than 1/2" (13 mm). See Fig. 56.

DIRECTION OF WOOD GRAIN
Avoid feeding the work stock into the jointer against the grain of
the wood as shown in Fig. 57. This will result in popping and chipped
edges.
Feed the work material into the jointer with the grain of the wood
as shown in Fig. 58 to obtain a smooth, soft surface.
