Blade adjustment using blade gauge

NOTE :

Amini planer blade has a cutting edge on both sides, making it reversible for double blade life and greater convenience.

CAUTION :

Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they are tightened securely.

Unscrew the three installation bolts. Remove the drum cover, the mini blade and the adjusting plate/set plate. Loosen the two screws on the adjusting plate. Set the mini blade on the blade gauge so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the blade gauge. Set the adjusting platehet plate on the blade gauge and over the mini blade so that the blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini blade groove. Press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back edge of the blade gauge. Tighten the two screws on the adjusting plate.
