Using the Jet 708544 JWP-208HH planer is quite straightforward. First, make sure the machine is properly plugged into a 230V power source. Then, adjust the feed rate using the two - speed gear box according to the type of wood and your project requirements. Place your rough lumber on the infeed table and gently guide it through the planer. The infeed and outfeed rollers will help move the wood smoothly. When you're done with your project, it's important to clean the planer. Use a brush to remove sawdust from the cutterhead, table, and other parts. Also, check the dust collection system and empty it if it's full. For maintenance, regularly inspect the carbide knives. If they're dull, replace them to ensure a good finish. Keep the chain in the gear box properly tensioned. And make sure to lubricate moving parts as recommended in the user manual. Always wear safety goggles and appropriate clothing when operating the planer. Don't try to force large or overly thick pieces of wood through the machine as it can damage the planer and be dangerous.
