Always helpful to brush off any dirt or debris from the wood before planing. If air dried for a few years typical yard dust blows on the wood including abrasive dust clouds from the driveway and crud from rodents etc. Brushing / dusting the boards beforehand will help keep the blades sharper longer, or delay wear . I use a stiff wire brush, compressed air or sometimes vacuum the wood before I do a run.
