ADJUSTMENTS

REPLANING 

using the REPEAT CUT

1.  Remove the screws to take 

off the height adjustment hand-

wheel (1 screw), remove the 

right side panel (3 screws) and 

top cover (4 screws). FIG. 5.

2.  Lower the cutterhead 

assembly until the stop screw 

stops on the step block.

3.  Plane a scrap piece of wood, 

then measure the thickness of 

the finished piece. It should be 

the same as the thickness scale 

and repeat cut indicator.

4.  If an adjustment is necessary, 

use a wrench to loosen the lock 

nut and adjust the stop screw to 

correct the height.

5.  Once the adjustment is made, 

retighten the lock nut and the 

stop screw securely.

THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT

Located on the right front of the planer, the thickness scale 

shows the depth of the finished workpiece. 

Inaccurate cuts can be prevented by routinely checking the 

alignment of the thickness scale.

1.  Table extensions must be level with planer table.

2.  Plane a scrap piece of wood, then measure the thickness of 

the finished piece.

3.  If properly adjusted, the thickness of the finished piece 

should be the same as indicated on the scale.

4.  If out of adjustment, loosen the two screws holding the 

scale indicator and adjust the scale indicator, up or down, to 

point to the correct setting on the scale.

5.  Retighten the two scale indicator screws securely.
