OPERATIONS (cont)
DEPTH-OF-CUT INDICATOR
The Depth-Of-Cut Indicator, located on the front of the machine, is a convenient way to quickly
determine how much material is being planed off in one pass.
1.
With the machine powered OFF, and the cutterhead raised, insert your workpiece just under
the indicator arrow.
2.
Crank the cutterhead down until the button comes in contact with the workpiece.
As you rotate the raise / lower handle, the needle on the depth of cut scale will move showing
how much material will be removed in that pass. Note, the needle may jump during the
planing of your stock. This is normal.
THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT
The thickness scale, located on the front right of the planer, shows the thickness of the finished
workpiece. To make sure the scale is set properly, run a piece of wood through the planer and
measure the thickness of the wood. If the scale is out of alignment, loosen the two round head
mounting screws while holding the scale indicator and adjust the thickness indicator to the
correct setting. Make sure to re-tighten the two screws once the adjustment is complete. Do not
overtighten these screws as it may damage the clear indicator.
