• Optimal Dust Collection: For best results in dust collection, especially during prolonged use, consider connecting the planer to an external shop vacuum rather than relying solely on the dust bag.
• Practice on Scrap Wood: Before working on your final project, practice on a piece of scrap wood to get a feel for the planer's operation and to fine-tune your planing depth settings.
