cord must remain unplugged
whenever you are adjusting or
aligning the thickness planer.

view of the table body and clearance of
the knives.
WARNING: Knives are extremely
sharp and could seriously injure
your hands or arms.

and over infeed extension as shown.

Adjusting the Thickness Indicator

piece of stock at least 12" long and 3/4"
thick. Set planer to 11/16" and run stock
through planer. Measure wood after plan-
ing and if necessary, loosen screws to
adjust elevation indicator to agree with
