4. Loosely attach the adjusting plate to the set plate
with the screws. Put the adjusting plate and set plate on
the blade gauge. Fit the planer blade locating lugs on
the set plate into the mini planer blade groove.
For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the planer blade is set properly and securely. The planer
blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base.
Refer to some examples below for proper and improper settings.
(A) Front base (Movable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

5. Apply the heel of the adjusting plate onto the back
side of the blade gauge and tighten the screws. Check
the alignments carefully to ensure uniform cutting.
6. Slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove
of the drum.
7.
Put the drum cover on the set plate and loosely fit
them onto the drum with the three bolts. Slip the mini
planer blade into the space between the drum and set
plate. Make sure that the planer blade locating lugs on
the set plate fit in the mini planer blade groove.

Although this side view cannot
show it, the edges of the blades
run perfectly parallel to the rear
base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel to rear
base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
fails to protrude enough in
relation to rear base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
protrudes too far in relation
to rear base line.
