    The worst part about mistakes is that you have to make them before you can learn from them.

    Looks like it is for setting a depth stop. Is there a corresponding adjustment thumbwheel on the planer head above it?

    Yep. A bit bigger than a thumbwheel, but the same concept. Look right above the post in the picture in the link Chris provided.

    You can adjust that for actual blade height, or as a repeatable set height. Just make sure you remember which one it's set for.
    A Wixey height indicator is a nice addition to the planer.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night
