Hold the plane ensuring your
hand rests on the back of the plane and your first finger is on
the front of the plane for balance. This is a comfortable
grip for one handed use.

The other hand is used to hold the front of
the plane as shown in the photo. This is the best way to
hold the plane two handed for a controlled cut.

This photo shows what the grip looks like
from another perspective. Note my fingers rest on the front of the
horizontal handle keeping them up of the wood surface to avoid
my fingers hitting the wood surface. |
 |
This is an alternate grip so that you can
use
the plane with a pulling action. Very
useful when
planing large wood surfaces
such as table tops.
Also this is my preferred grip
when using the plane as a
scraper. |
