How to use

Set the blade depth and lateral alignment using the adjustment mechanism and the distortion lever until the desired shaving thickness is achieved. Hold the block plane with one hand on the body and the other guiding the heel or toe as needed, then push the plane along the wood grain with steady, even strokes. For best results, make multiple light passes rather than removing large amounts of material at once.

Recommendations

Keep the blade sharp and check alignment before use. Use light, controlled passes and work with the grain. Apply a thin coat of oil to the sole occasionally to reduce friction and store the tool dry to prevent corrosion.
