===== Special Instructions =====

  * **Only use the planer with clean, new wood free of foreign objects (like nails).  Pallet wood and barn wood should not be used in the planer.**
  * Make sure that the opposite face of the board is flat.  This can be done on the joiner.

  * Turn the planer on.
  * Feed the piece through.
  * Adjust the height again and repeat.
