Depth Adjustment
The Planer may be adjusted to cut to a depth of
up to 1/16″ per pass along the workpiece.
• To increase the depth of cut, turn
the Depth Knob clockwise.
• To decrease the depth of cut, turn the
Depth Knob counterclockwise.
• Return the Depth Knob to read “0” on
the Dial (51) when finished cutting.
NOTE: For a rough-cut workpiece use a deeper
cut, but never to exceed 1/16″. Once the
workpiece is planed smooth, make a number of
shallower cuts to acquire the desired depth.
