Sharpen the blade whenever it begins to feel dull or the cuts become less clean. The frequency depends on the type of wood and the amount of use.
Use a light machine oil or camellia oil to protect the metal surfaces from rust.
Use the adjustment mechanism (typically a screw) to control the blade's depth and lateral position.
While it can be used on end grain, it's generally more effective on edge grain. Use a lower angle and take shallow cuts to prevent tear-out.
Store the plane in a dry place. Consider storing it with the blade retracted slightly to protect the cutting edge.
If the sole isn't flat, you may need to flatten it using a lapping plate and abrasive. Check the sole frequently to maintain its flatness.
Sharpen or replace the blade. Ensure the blade is properly adjusted and protruding slightly below the sole.
Reduce the blade projection, increase the cutting angle, or use a smoother, more controlled stroke.
Check for excessive friction between the sole and the wood. Apply wax to the sole to reduce friction.
