Makita 1001 Planer User Manual


 
Adjusting depth of cut
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply
turning the knob on the front
of
the tool.
Adjusting front base
1.
To create
a
curved surface, loosen the
wing nut. For
a
concave planing job,
raise the front base; for
a
convex plan-
ing job, lower the front base. In either
case,
the front base must be aligned
with the cutting line. Then tighten the
wing nut securely.
NOTE
:
As
explained later, although the objec-
tive
is
to cut until the cutting line
is
eventually reached, the planing must
take place gradually.
