Plane depth is variable from 0 to 3.0 mm. This is adjustable by rotating the adjustment
knob of cutting depth (2).

“0” position the cutting depth will increase from 0
to as much as 3.0 mm.

make sure the desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer.
Several shallow passes will produce a smoother finish than one deep pass.
