Setting the planer depth scale.

The simplest way to check if the planer scale is set correctly is to
machine a piece of wood. Check the finished thickness of the wood
and check that the scale is reading the correct dimension. No
adjustment should be required, as the gauge is factory set and
doweled in position. If adjustment is required, loosen the gauge
clamp screws, remove the scale, remove the dowels, refit the gauge
to the correct dimension, drill two new dowel holes and fit the
removed dowels.
