You might want to mention a few more details about the planer.

Like they say about cars, Manufacturer, Model, Make and Year? :-) Well
maybe not the year -- unless it is a really old planer and we have to
wake up granpa for advice..

Someone else might have the same planer and could make your life easy by
knowing exactly what to do.

People have been known to take a picture and post it in the binaries
(photos) newsgroup if they really get stuck on an item and need to
"show" people the situation.

Worry about etiquette after you get some help.

Good luck!
