Mouth Adjustment
The Toe pushes down on the wood fibers in front of the blade, preventing
the wood from splitting and tearing out ahead of the cut.
To maximise the effect of the Toe, set it so that the mouth opening is as
small as possible while still allowing a shaving to escape. The deeper the
cut you are taking, the thicker the shaving will be, and so the wider the
mouth will need to be.
To adjust the mouth opening, loosen the front handle and swing the Mouth
Adjustment Lever right or left to move the Toe forward or backward. Take
care not to move the Toe into the blade. Tighten the front handle to lock
the position of the Toe.
