Note:If the grain changes direction along the
edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth
and make additional passes.
 DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that
contains large or loose knots.>c_jgnidi]Z

(Figures 33–34) before edge jointing or
surface planing, or it may break or kick
back during the operation!
