Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the plane is clean and free of debris before initial use.
- Adjust the cutter depth using the appropriate adjustment mechanism to the desired thickness for your rebate.
- Set the fence to the required distance from the edge of the workpiece.
- Position the cutting spur if needed for cross-grain work.
Compatibility:
This plane is designed for use on wood. Compatibility with different wood species is generally good, but harder woods may require more frequent cutter sharpening. It is compatible with standard woodworking practices and safety equipment.
Care:
- Keep the plane clean and dry. Wipe down after each use.
- Periodically sharpen the cutter to maintain a clean cutting edge. A dull cutter will lead to poor results and increased effort.
- Lightly oil metal parts to prevent rust, especially during storage.
- Store in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case.
