   The adjustments are for depth of the blade.  First time you use it,   
   adjust to a paper-thin curl until you have a feel for it.  They come in   
   many sizes.  This one appears to be a large one.  I have a smaller set   
   of 3 sizes, used for smaller pieces like fixing a sticking wooden   
   drawer when a bar of ivory soap doesn't cut it.
