Setting the Angle
The fence can be set for square or
any angle through 45° to either side
(45° through 135°). Loosen the
locking lever and pivot the fence to
the desired angle, using a square,
miter or set-up piece as your guide,
then tighten the locking lever. After
setting the angle, you can rotate
the locking lever out of the way,
if necessary.
Note: What is important is the
relationship of the
blade to the
fence, not the blade to the sole. You
can fine tune the angle by setting
the lateral adjustment of the blade.
Tip: When planing a workpiece
with the fence set to a 45°
angle, and the desire is to plane right
to the edge, a wooden sub-fence may
be used. Without it, a small flat will
be left on the edge that does not get
planed by the blade.

Instructions
It is important that the fence be
held firmly against the face of the
workpiece being planed in order to
get accurate results. This ensures
that the fence will govern the plane’s
orientation, not the sole. Press the
fence firmly
against the workpiece
with your forward hand and push the
plane with your other hand.
Angles less than 45°
For angles less than 45°, attach a
bevelled piece of wood to the fence
using #10 flat-head screws through
the countersunk holes.
