Adjusting depth of cut

Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool.

Adjusting front base

1.To create a curved surface, loosen the wing nut. For a concave planing job, raise the front base; for a convex plan- ing job, lower the front base. In either case, the front base must be aligned with the cutting line. Then tighten the wing nut securely.

NOTE:

As explained later, although the objec- tive is to cut until the cutting line is eventually reached, the planing must take place gradually.
