4.Loosen the lock nuts, then turn each adjust- ment bolt so that it just touches the cam when the lock lever is approximately halfway through its travel, then tighten the lock nuts.

Note: It is important that all four adjustment bolts are set equally. Failure to do this could cause the cutterhead to move during use, resulting in inconsistent planing.

Thickness Stop

Calibration

The thickness stop is set at the factory and should not require adjustment. However, with extended use, it is possible that the thickness stop may come out of adjustment. If you notice that use of the thickness stop is not producing results to your standards, you may need to adjust it.
