Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the planer blades are set properly and securely.
Install planer blades correctly so the cutting edges sit in a right angle, on an absolute level with the rear baseline, and
exactly parallel to the sole of the plane. Read the examples in the table for proper settings.
