Plane depth is variable from 0 to 3.0 mm. This is adjustable by rotating the adjustment
knob of cutting depth (2).
▪
As the knob is rotated clockwise from the
“0” position the cutting depth will increase from 0
to as much as 3.0 mm.

It is recommended that test cuts are made in scrap wood after each re-adjustment to
make sure the desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer.
