SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT

1) To obtain a blade projection of 1.5mm, place the blade

setting guage (E) on the cutterhead with both guides
resting firmly against the blade. (Fig. 6)

2) Loosen the assembly by turning the 7 screws (A) 

clockwise with an open end wrench.

3) When the blade is pressed to the proper height by the

guides on the guage, retighten the assembly by turning 
the screws counter clockwise. Make sure all seven lock
screws are tightened securely.

MAKING THE CUTTERHEAD AND

WORKTABLE PARALLEL

Plane a workpiece and measure thickness after the cut. If the
thickness is not the same on both sides of the workpiece,
perform the following action.

Adjust the cutter shaft and the worktable so they are parallel.
The tools used for checking are shown below. Please use
hardwood to make a tool guage block according to the size
shown in the figure. Make the adjustments as per the
following procedures.

1) Remove height adjustment handle and both top and side

covers by removing allen screws (Fig.8) to expose height
adjustment lock nuts. (Fig.9)

2) Loosen adjustment lock nut. (Fig.9)

3) Adjust height nut up or down as required to suit guage

block. (Fig.7)

WARNING: The blade edge is very susceptible
to chipping. Use caution when handling the
guage near the blades to avoid damaging
them.

WARNING: The assembly must be tightened
securely to prevent accidents during planing.
