Thanks Leon - I did try gently "helping" it through, but one of two things
happened - I did all of the work, or it began chattering and sometimes tried
to kick back out of the planer.



How old is the planer/infeed roller. Do yo have the cutter head locked
down?

The in feed roller should be lower than the cutter head. If the board
is warped the in feed may not be making enough contact to resist the cutter.
