RECOMMENDED DEPTH OF CUT

NOTE: One revolution of the cutterhead adjusting

handle will move the cutterhead up or down 1/16"

(1.6 mm).

You can make a 1/8" (3.2 mm) depth-of-cut in soft

woods up to 6" (152mm) wide and in hard woods up to

4" (102 mm) wide. (Fig. 16)

For 6" (152 mm) through 13" (330 mm) wide soft wood,

use a maximum depth-of-cut of 1/16" (1.6 mm). For 6"

(152 mm) through 13" (330 mm) wide hard wood, use a

maximum depth-of-cut of 3/64" (1.2 mm) (Fig. 16).

IMPORTANT: A shallow depth-of-cut will produce a

better finish.

To set the minimum depth to which the carriage can trav-

el with the depth stop:

1. Check to see that the carriage is set above 1-1/4"

before trying to set the depth stop.

2. Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the

desired thickness setting aligns with the indicator line

(B) Fig. 17.

3. Lock the gauge in place by turning the wheel on the

inside of the gauge (Inset – Fig. 17).

4. Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the

correct  nal thickness is achieved.

NOTE: Do not use force to lower the carriage below the

level that the depth stop indicates. Permanent damage to

the height adjustment system on your planer will result.

1. Slide approximately 3" of the workpiece (B) Fig. 15

under the middle of the carriage.

2. Be sure that the workpiece is lying  at against the

base of the planer. If the workpiece is inserted at an

angle, the reading may be inaccurate.

3. Lower the carriage on the workpiece until the material

removal bar engages the wood. You will see the red

arrow moving up the scale to indicate the amount to

be removed with the carriage at that height.

4. Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of

cut appears on the gauge.

5. Pull the material out from under the carriage.

6. Turn the unit on and feed your material into the cutter

head.

HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL REMOVAL GAUGE

Your planer is equipped with a material removal gauge (A) Fig. 15. It is used to indicate the amount of wood that will

be removed in one pass with the carriage set at its current height. The material removal gauge reads across the entire

width of the planer head.

HOW TO USE THE DEPTH STOP

Your planer is equipped with a depth stop (A) Fig. 17 for repetitive planing. Any thickness between 1/8" and 1-1/4" can

be selected using the scale on the depth stop. Detents are provided at 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4".

NOTE: Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for various widths of material, shown in the “RECOMMENDED

DEPTH OF CUT” section below.

Do not turn the unit “ON” with the workpiece in position.
