Depth Of Cut
The planing depth is controlled by the crank han-
dle on top of the planer. To extend the handle up
for operation, pull out on the handle while folding
it up. Turning the handle clockwise raises the cut-
terhead and counter-clockwise lowers the cutter-
head. See Figure 5. Depth of cut is read directly
from the inch/millimeter scale located on the top,
right side of the planer. The minimum reading is
1
⁄16'' (1 mm). One complete turn of the handle rais-
es or lowers the cutterhead approximately
1
⁄16''
(1mm). The range of material thickness that can
be planed is
1
⁄4'' - 5'' (5mm - 127mm).
