8.0 Adjustments
8.1 Head adjustment
The head contains the motor, cutterhead and chip
deflector. Depth of cut is controlled by raising or
lowering the head.
Rotate crank handle (see Figure 4-1) clockwise to
raise head, counterclockwise to lower. One
complete rotation of handle equals 1/16” of height
change.
The adjoining cursor and thickness scale measures
distance from cutterhead knives to main table
surface, and thus identifies finished thickness of the
workpiece.
Do not rotate crank handle
while stock is being planed. This can put stress
upon knives, cutterhead and motor, leading to
machine damage.
8.2 Cutting depth gauge
The cutting depth gauge (Figure 8-1) provides a
rapid method for setting depth of cut. The bottom of
the gauge ball has been set even with the
cutterhead knives.
1. Insert workpiece far enough (about 2-inches)
that it lies beneath gauge ball. Make sure
workpiece lies flat on table.
2. Lower head until ball contacts workpiece and
engages depth scale, as shown. Continue
lowering until desired cut depth is shown on the
scale. Withdraw workpiece.
3. Start planer and insert workpiece, allowing it to
push past gauge ball and continue feeding
through machine.
4. Refer to thickness scale to lower head to
desired depth of cut for the next pass.

8.3 Thickness gauge
The thickness gauge (see Figure 4-1) allows final
thickness of the workpiece to be preset. This is
particularly useful when multiple boards must be
processed to the same final thickness. Choose one
of 6 stop settings, from 1/8 to 1-inch.
Rotate thickness gauge dial to desired finish depth.
Lower head for each pass until the stop is contacted,
then make the final pass.
Do not force the crank handle
farther when thickness gauge stop has been
reached, or damage to machine may result.
8.4 Table alignment
Tools needed: 10mm wrench, straight edge
The extension tables should be flush or slightly
below the main table:
1. Disconnect planer from power source; unplug.
2. Place a straight edge (A, Figure 8-2) across
main table and infeed table at left side of
machine. A steel bar is ideal, but a carefully
jointed board may also be used. A straight edge
that reaches across both infeed and outfeed
tables is preferable.
3. If the straight edge does not sit flush on the
tables, loosen nut (B) and turn stop screw (C) at
that side of table, as needed. Tighten nut (B) to
secure setting.
4. Move straight edge to right side of infeed table
and repeat process.
5. Repeat process for outfeed table.

8.5 Knife inspection/replacement
Knife inserts are very sharp;
use care when working with or around them.
The knife inserts are double-edged, so they can be
rotated one time for a fresh edge before needing
replacement. Nicked or otherwise damaged knife
inserts can be rotated or replaced without having to
replace others.
1. Disconnect planer from power source; unplug.
