8. The depth of cut can be altered by setting the infeed table to line up with the marking on the scale The top line is zero and the bottom line is a 3 mm cut It is not advised to take the deepest cut a shallow cut will give better results and put less strain on the machine Fig 6 5B To increase the depth of cut simply rotate the infeed adjustment knob anti clockwise Fig 6 5C 6 6 Jointing For planing the narrow sides of a workpiece release the cutter guard s lock lever and set the cutter guard to the width of the workpiece The spring on the end of the cutter guard should exert a slight pressure against the workpiece Lock blade guard in place and start the machine Push workpiece slowly and steadily against cutter block Ensure that fence is set at the required angle and the workpiece is kept flush against the fence Fig 6 6 This gives you 2 datum surfaces explanation below Fig 6 7A After straightening side 1 turn the workpiece 90 so that side 1 now lines up along the fence Surface side 2 at 90 in order to carry out thicknessing this way it is possible to obtain a finished piece planed on all 4 sides When side 1 is positioned flat against the thicknessing bed side 3 is cut exactly square Fig 6 7B Likewise when side 2 is positioned flat against the thicknessing bed side 4 is cut square the end result is a completely square piece of timber Fig 6 7C Before proceeding with thicknessing carefully read the advice on sa
