Brand new dewalt planer, not feeding?

Hopefully it's just me doing something wrong.
It's the 13" Dewalt dw735. Brand new outa the box.

Trying to plane 2" x 8" rough cut western red cedar.

What's happening is it isn't always feeding. Seems most of the time you really need to push the wood. Sometimes it does but not consistently.

If you raise the blades a bit, nothing comes off. Lower it a bit (1/2 turn) and you need to push- and even then barely anything comes off. And by push I mean really push, not a nice finish either.

I am very new to this machine so I'm assuming and hoping it's just me.
Any ideas? Thanks.
