Operating Instructions
11. CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING (SEE FIG P)
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and
securely.
The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to
the surface of the rear base. FIG P shows some examples of proper and improper settings.
(A) Front base (Moveable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)
1) Correct setting
Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blade run perfectly parallel to
the rear base surface.
2) Nicks in surface
Cause: one or both blades fails to have edge parallel to rear base line.
3) Gouging at start
Cause: one or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation to rear base line.
4) Gouging at end
Cause: one or both blade edges protrude too far in relation to rear base line.
