Summary: Learn how to use a power plane, how to plane a piece of wood and using a power plane safely.
A power planer is a more sophisticated and effective version of the original plane. The original is still very widely used, but requires more effort in its use compared to the powered version. Planing can be an arduous task, particularly if the wood is hard or the timber is in a difficult position to reach. Hiring or even purchasing a powered planer can speed up the job as well as reducing physical strain.
