Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure
to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at
the beginning and the end of the work surface, see Figures 5 and 6.
PLANING TIP: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap
wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don't stop planing
until the cutting blades of the planer are past your work piece and
into the scrap material.
RABBETING
Your planer can make rabbet cuts up to .5" (12mm) using the
DW677 and DW680 or 1" (25mm) using the DW678 with the edge
guide. To make a rabbet cut, adjust the edge guide (see Figure 8)
for the desired width of cut. Make several cuts until the desired
depth is reached.
NOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most rabbet
applications.
