DeWalt DW734 Heavy-Duty 12-1/2 Thickness Planer with Three Knife Cutter-Head

Using the DeWalt DW734 is quite straightforward. First, make sure the planer is unplugged before any setup. Attach the dust hood to keep your workspace clean. Adjust the turret depth stop to your desired cutting depth. You can refer to the material removal gauge and thickness scale for accurate cuts. When starting, turn on the planer and let it reach full speed before feeding the wood. Push the wood through the planer slowly and steadily, using the extra - long infeed and outfeed tables for support. As for maintenance, regularly check the knives. When they start to dull, replace them as they are disposable and reversible, which is easy to do. Keep the planer clean by using the dust hood and wiping it down after use. Also, check the four - column carriage lock periodically to ensure it's working properly. Always remember to unplug the planer when not in use or during maintenance to avoid any accidents.
