Adjusting Depth Of Cut - Makita 2012NB Manuel D'instruction

Adjusting depth of cut

The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the
width of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When
you need to remove more than the amount specified
in the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the
amount and make two or more passes.
Width of workpiece being cut
Less than 150 mm (5-7/8")
150 mm (5-7/8") - 240 mm (9-1/2")
240 mm (9-1/2") - 304 mm (12")
To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.
Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the
main frame by turning the crank handle counterclock-
wise. The depth gauge will rise and the amount of
gauge rise indicates the depth of cut.
► 1 . Depth gauge
CAUTION:
• Always lower the main frame when aligning the
indicator plate with the graduation indicating
the desired finished dimension. If you raise the
main frame into the desired finished dimension,
additional play in the screw may result. This may
cause an undesired finished dimension.
• Always place the workpiece flat on the table
top when predetermining the depth of cut.
Otherwise, the predetermined depth of cut will
differ from actual depth of cut.

Use the depth adjusting gauge when you need to pre-
determine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so,
proceed as follows.
1. First, plane the workpiece at the predetermined
depth of cut. Measure the thickness of the planed
piece to know how much more stock you need to
remove.
2. Turn the depth adjusting gauge on the crank
handle until the 0 graduation is aligned with the
groove on the tool.
3. Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise
until the graduation for the desired depth of cut is
aligned with the groove on the tool.
4. When you need to remove more than the amount
specified in the table mentioned in the "Adjusting
depth of cut" section, set the depth of cut shal-
lower than the amount and make two or more
passes.

Use the stopper when you need to plane many work-
pieces to the same thickness. To do so, proceed as
follows.
1. Turn the crank handle until the indicator plate
points to the scale graduation indicating the
desired finished dimension.
2. Depress the stopper button and lower the stopper
until it just contacts the table top.
3. If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn the
stopper knob.
CAUTION:
• When the stopper is not in use, always raise it
to the topmost position. Never force the crank
handle when the stopper is in contact with the
table top. This may cause tool damage.
