Hi, I just bough this 2in1 planer/jointer from vevor (im in the EU) and while i think i got a smooth result trying to joint one of the face of my wood plank ( pine 38mm) i was struggling a lot to joint the side of the plank, every time i would came up with a trapezoid shape.
I moved the planer to the ground and tried to fix the fence so that it would be 90 degrees but i got the same result.
Then i tried to joint it from left to right, and the blades pushed to wood wasy faster but it seems that the result was indeed straight (or so). Is that the solution?

yeah... don't do that..... If your jointer is not giving you a square edge the first thing I'd suspect is that your fence is not square. How close are you getting? How are you measuring squareness? What are you making? I don't know what your expectations are with that machine but you sacrifice a bit with stamped metal parts - it can do it, but you'll need to be vigilant in your adjusting and measuring each use.

Also, technique.. are you pushing down on the board when jointing the edge or against the fence? You want to have most of your pressure on the reference face you're working on... so for the edges, you want a flat/smooth jointed face first - pressing down on the table as you feed it from right to left (the fence doesn't matter at this point) then stand the board up on edge with the now jointed flat face on the fence and put about 3/4 of your pressure on the fence and just a bit down to ensure contact with the blade.

If you're having a hard time getting the wood through the machine make lighter cuts. That's not a powerful machine (more than enough to hurt you!) so a few light passes will give you vastly superior results compareed to just trying to push through one heavy cut.
