8Depth adjusting gaugeUse the depth adjusting gauge when you need to predeter-mine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so, proceed asfollows.1. First, plane the workpiece at the predetermined depth ofcut. Measure the thickness of the planed piece to knowhow much more stock you need to remove.2. Turn the depth adjusting gauge on the crank handle untilthe 0 graduation is aligned with the groove on the tool.3. Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise until thegraduation for the desired depth of cut is aligned with thegroove on the tool.4. When you need to remove more than the amount speci-fied in the table mentioned in the “Adjusting depth of cut”section, set the depth of cut shallower than the amountand make two or more passes.StopperUse the stopper when you need to plane many workpieces tothe same thickness. To do so, proceed as follows.1. Turn the crank handle until the indicator plate points tothe scale graduation indicating the desired finisheddimension.2. Depress the stopper button and lower the stopper until itjust contacts the table top.3. If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn the stop-per knob.CAUTION:• When the stopper is not in use, always raise it to thetopmost position. Never force the crank handle when thestopper is in contact with the table top. This may causetool damage.1. Crank handle2. Groove3. Depth adjusting gauge1230037131. Stopper2. Stopper button3.
