Workpiece Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to use or
may require modification before they are.
Before cutting, inspect all workpieces
for the following:
•
Material Type: This tool is only
intended for workpieces of natu-
ral wood fiber. Attempting to use
workpieces of any other material that
may break apart during operation
could lead to serious personal injury
and property damage.
Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for
•
defects and foreign objects (nails,
staples, embedded gravel, etc,). If
you have any question about the
quality of your lumber, DO NOT use
it. Remember, wood stacked on a
concrete floor can have small pieces
of stone or concrete pressed into the
surface.
•
Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots
can become dislodged during opera-
tion. Large knots can cause tool dam-
age. Always use workpieces that do
not have large/loose knots.
•
Wet or "Green" Stock: Avoid using
wood with a high water content.
Wood with more than 20% moisture
content or wood exposed to exces-
sive moisture (such as rain or snow),
will cut poorly and cause excessive
wear to the tool. Excess moisture can
also hasten rust and corrosion of the
tool and/or individual components.

Adjusting Depth of Cut
The depth of cut on the Model T33307
can be adjusted by rotating the depth
knob to raise or lower the front shoe. Each
click stop of the knob adjusts the depth
by
⁄
" (0.1mm), allowing for adjustments
1

between 0–
⁄
" (0–2mm). Generally, the
5
64
best results will be achieved with several
successive passes rather than trying to
remove the maximum amount of material
in one pass.
We suggest removing no more than
wood per pass for best results.
To adjust cutting depth:
1. Rotate
depth
to
increase
counterclockwise to decrease planing
depth (see Figure 8).
Note: Each mark on knob indicates
⁄
" increment.

Tip: Test new depth setting on scrap
wood to ensure it is removing the
desired amount of wood before per-
forming desired operation.
