If the reading on the depth of cut scale is incorrect, loosen the screw which tightens the plastic pointer and adjust

When you have properly adjusted the depth of cut scale, test your reading by planing a piece of scrap lumber.
After planing, measure the planed thickness and double check it against the scale reading. The two measurements
should be the same. If the measurements are not the same, re-adjust your depth of cut scale to read the planed
thickness
