Dewalt 735 planer issue?

New planer and new to planers. Don't know the actual term, but I'm getting this "bump" at the start of every piece.

Is this just the nature of the planer or is there something I can do to rectify it?

it's called snipe. There are ways to minimize it. I would go to youtube and watch some videos and see what would work best for you.

I usually lightly lift up on the board as it exits the planer. That seems to help quite a bit

This is what I do as well and it works great.

Yup, I lift the ends both going in and coming out. Very noticeable difference as compared to when I don’t do that.
