ADJUSTING THE PLANING DEPTH
The planing depth can be adjusted approximately 0-2mm.
To adjust depth, turn the depth adjustment knob to the desired
setting on the depth-of-cut-scale. (Fig 9) Always work from
a rough cut to a finish cut. For rough planing use a setting
from 0.5mm to 1mm. For finish planing use a setting from
0.2mm to 0.4mm.
CAUTION Do not turn the depth adjustment
knob more than the maximum planing depth of
2 mm.
