To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align the "V" groove in the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it.

Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the screw.

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result.

Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 9 mm.
