How to Adjust the Pitch on My Sears Jointer/Planer

Adjusting the pitch on the Sears jointer/planer will allow you to make a variety of cuts in your wood. The fence on the top of the jointer/planer can be set at different angles by adjusting the lock knobs. The fence can be set for any angle between 0-45 degrees in just a few minutes.
