11. BASEPLATE STAND (See Fig. P, Q)
Uplift the rear of the planer, the base plate stand knob
(20) can make the machine to be set down directly and
protect the cutting blades from any damage and the
blades from damaging the surface (See Fig. P). When
planing, the stand will be pushed away by the end of
the wood. Always check the stand is free to move on
the base plate. (See Fig. Q)
12. CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING (See Fig. R)
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven,
unless the blade is set properly and securely.
The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge
is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the
rear base. Fig. R shows some examples of proper and
improper settings.
(A) Front base (Moveable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)
1) CORRECT SETTING
Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of
the blade run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.
2) NICKS IN SURFACE
Cause: one or both blades fails to have edge parallel to
rear base line.
3) GOUGING AT START
Cause: one or both blade edges fails to protrude
enough in relation to rear base line.
4) GOUGING AT END
Cause: one or both blade edges protrude too far in
relation to rear base line.
