For finish planing use a setting of approximately 1/64
(0.4 mm). Make test cuts in scrap wood after each
adjustment to make sure that the planer is removing the
desired amount of wood.

1. Unplug the planer.
2. Turn the depth adjustment knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: To protect the blades during storage, transport-
ing, etc., set the depth adjustment to 0.
