Attach Dust Port
♦ Attach the dust port (28) to the dust chute (18).
♦ Attach dust port (28) to a dust collector. Refer to dust collector owner’s manual for correct procedure and
safety information.
4.7 DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. I)
The depth adjustment scale (4) indicates the finished thickness of your workpiece. One rotation of the depth
adjustment crank is equal to 1.6 mm (1/16"); half a rotation is equal to 0.8 mm (1/32"), etc.
1) To Set the Finished Thickness (Fig. B)
♦ Adjust the thickness. Turn the depth adjustment handle (1) clockwise to lower the cutterhead. Turn the
handle counterclockwise to raise the cutterhead. One full rotation of the handle moves the cutterhead 1.6
mm (1/16").
2) Fine Adjustments
The depth adjustment handle allows for fine adjustments, from 0.4 mm (1/64") to 1.6 mm (1/16").
Fine adjustments are ideal for “shaving” small amounts from your material. For example, if your planed
workpiece measures 77.8 mm (3-1/16") thick, but should be 76.2 mm (3") thick, adjust your planer to
remove the excess 1.6 mm (1/16") as follows:
1) Plane and measure your workpiece. In this example, the starting thickness is 77.8 mm (3-1/16").
2)
Turn the circular label on the depth adjustment handle until the “0” mark aligns with the arrow on the
top of the tool. Do not make any other adjustments to the planner.
