HOW TO USE

AUTO-PLANER

1.Adjusting depth of cut

The maximum depth of cut changes in terms of the cutting speed and the width of the workpiece to be cut. See Fig. 1.

Insert the workpiece flush with the in- feed table top so that the front end of the workpiece reaches a t least 20 to 30 mm (3/4 to 1-1/8")beyond the depth gauge. Turn the crank handle and align the depth gauge with a graduation on the scale plate. This graduation indicates the depth of cut.

2.Dimensional adjustment

The graduation on the scale bar align- ing with the arrow is the thickness of the workpiece after the cut.

When cutting less than the maximum depth of cut, first align the graduation for the desired finished thickness with the arrow and then cut the workpiece.
