5graduations on its right side and metric graduations on itsleft side.Adjusting depth of cutThe maximum depth of cut differs depending upon thewidth of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. Whenyou need to remove more than the amount specified inthe table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amountand make two or more passes.Width of workpiece being cutLess than 150 mm150 mm - 240 mm240 mm - 304 mmMaximum depth of cut3.0 mm1.5 mm1.0 mm004465To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.1003712Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the mainframe by turning the crank handle counterclockwise. Thedepth gauge will rise and the amount of gauge riseindicates the depth of cut.CAUTION:• Always lower the main frame when aligning theindicator plate with the graduation indicating thedesired finished dimension. If you raise the mainframe into the desired finished dimension,additional play in the screw may result. This maycause an undesired finished dimension.• Always place the workpiece flat on the table topwhen predetermining the depth of cut. Otherwise,the predetermined depth of cut will differ fromactual depth of cut.Depth adjusting gauge123003713Use the depth adjusting gauge when you need topredetermine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so,proceed as follows.1. First, plane the workpiece at the predetermineddepth of cut. Measure the thickness of the planedpiece to know how much more stock you need toremove.2. Turn the depth adjusting gauge on the crankhandle until the 0 graduation is aligned with thegroove on the tool.3. Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise untilthe graduation for the desired depth of cut isaligned with the groove on the tool.4. When you need to remove more than the amountspecified in the table mentioned in the "Adjustingdepth of cut" section, set the depth of cut shallowerthan the amount and make two or more passes.Stopper1234003714Use the stopper when you need to plane many workpiecesto the same thickness. To do so, proceed as follows.1. Turn the crank handle until the indicator platepoints to the scale graduation indicating thedesired finished dimension.2. Depress the stopper button and lower the stopperuntil it just contacts the table top.3. If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn thestopper knob.CAUTION:• When the stopper is not in use, always raise it tothe topmost position. Never force the crank handlewhen the stopper is in contact with the table top.This may cause tool damage.ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.Replacing planer bladesCAUTION:• Handle the blades very carefully when removing orinstalling the blades to prevent cuts or injury fromthe blades and to prevent damage to the blades.They are razor-sharp.1.
