OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut
The depth-adjustment knob (C) is used to control
the amount of material that is removed in one
pass.
Turn the depth-adjustment knob so that the
triangle on the tool housing lines up with the
desired setting on the depth-knob scale (D). Plane
a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in
thickness, and then adjust the setting as needed.
The depth-knob scale has SAE measurements on
the bottom (from 0 - 5/64”).
WARNING
• The depth-adjustment knob should be turned back past the 0 marking to the P (park) after
the planer is used. This will push the blade slightly away from the surface the planer is
resting on and will help prevent the planer from lurching forward if it is accidentally turned on
and will reduce damage to the blade.
NOTE:
The proper cutting depth should be determined according to the hardness, gumminess,
or moisture content of the material being cut, as well as the feed rate, and is largely a matter of
experience.
4.
Edge Guide
The edge guide (P) can be adjusted to control the
width of the cut from the edge of the workpiece.
The edge guide can only be installed on the left
housing.
a. Align the hole in the bracket (O) to the
mounting thread (E) and attach them with the
edge-guide locking knob (H).
b. To adjust: Loosen the nut and slide the guide
to the desired setting.
c. Retighten the nut after adjustment.
The edge guide can be adjusted to 0-90° for
workpieces with angle edges.
