GENERAL
Always keep the fence firmly against the face side or face
edge of the wood. Keep the plane upright and make sure
that the cutter is removing thin shavings. A little paraffin wax
applied to the fence will make for easier working. Cutting
should always start at the end furthest away from the
operator, gradually moving backwards as the work proceeds
until the plane is cutting the full length of the wood.
The fence can be set on either side of the body which
allows the plane to be used in either left or right hand but
when used in the left hand the depth gauge cannot be set
for grooves less than i in. (6 4 mm) deep since it will prevent
the fenco being brought closer than § in. (9 -5 mm) to the
body skate. For left hand working, when cutting rebates, the
depth gauge must be removed. If however an additional
wooden fence, at least -ft in. (7-9 mm) thick is screwed on,
these restrictions will not apply. The screw on the depth
gauge which serves to open nylon depth gauge expander L
must
only
be
tightened a quarter turn.
The expander
spreads into the threaded body housing preventing the
depth gauge from moving.
Care in Use
The body is of high quality grey iron and although robust,
care should be taken never to drop it. Make sure that fence
arm set screws T and ence knurled screws D are tight
before use. otherwise the plane may be subjected to undue
strain and inaccuracies in working may result- The plane will
require a minimum of maintenance other than a little light
machine oil on the screw threads.
When making adjustments, koep the plane over the bench to
avoid losing small screws and parts in the shavings.
Thin shavings give more accurate results than thick ones and
a better finish. The cutters must be kept in first class con¬
dition and keenly sharp at all times.
