EDGE MOLDING
Refer to Figure 24 below.
The workpiece edges can be molded by feeding the
workpiece on edge into the planer/molder.
Guide fences that are %" shorter than the workpiece
must be positioned on the sides of the workpiece. Be
sure the workpiece is supported rigidly on both sides by
the guide fences directly under the cutter bits or knives.

ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS
The planer/molder
is supplied with anti-kickback pawls
that help prevent the cutterhead from kicking back the
workpiece.
CAUTION:

side of planer/molder. Always stand to one side of plan-
er/molder to avoid injury if a kickback of the workpiece
should occur.
DUST COLLECTOR
CHIP CHUTE
Refer to Figure 25 and 28, pages 13 and 18.
A dust collector chip chute (not shown) is available as
an optional accessory.
The dust collector chip chute is mounted to the plan-
