-When you have finished with the Planer Thicknesser, clean it and return it to planing mode. +When you have finished with the Planer Thicknesser, clean it and return it to planing mode. You will likely need to vacuum it, as the dust extractor does not extract 100% of dust. 
-Before starting your cuts, determine which face of the wood should be cut first. It is best practice to flatten the concave side of the wood with the planer, and then use the thicknesser to flatten the convex side.+

-==== Moving the thicknesser ==== 
-To move the thicknesser for longer pieces of wood, raise the feet either side of the base press down to lift the unit onto it's wheels and then lift up to lower back down to the ground. Make sure before use that the unit is stable.

-The default configuration should be in planning mode this should be how it is left after each use when finished with after tidy up.

-=== Thicknesser === 
-When using in thicknesser mode ensure your hands are clear of the entry point of the thicknesser. If required to process smaller pieces of wood then ensure you use the push tools or small sled.
