To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge fence into the hole in the
004898
front of the tool. Align the blade edge with the cutting line.

Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side of the workpiece,
004899
then secure it by tightening the screw.
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the
workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result.
Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 23 mm.

You may wish to add to the length of the fence by attaching an extra piece of
002584
wood. Convenient holes are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for
attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).

CAUTION:
The blade edge should be made to protrude outside slightly (0.3 mm - 0.6
mm). Otherwise, nicks and generally poor shiplapping results.
