The Depth & Lateral Adjustment Wheel controls both the projection of the
blade below the sole and the lateral angle of the blade.
Turning the wheel clockwise advances the blade, while turning it
anticlockwise retracts it. Pushing the wheel to the left skews the blade to
the right, and vice versa.
Setting the blade
1. Loosen the lever cap wheel just enough so that adjustments can be
made without excessive force.
2. Open the mouth of the plane to avoid advancing the blade into the
mouth.
3. Place the plane on a flat timber surface and advance the blade until it
just touches the surface.
4. Holding the plane upside-down, check the blade is parallel to the
mouth opening.
5. Tighten the lever cap wheel (do not over-tighten) and take a test cut.
Repeat the procedure to advance the blade as necessary.
