when you sight down the sole you should only see about the thickness of a

Loosen both screws. Then tighten the screw at the back until it starts
to pull the blade up. Set the blade depth with the adjustment screw.
Here's a picture of the mechanism, taken from the patent description:

I've got one out in my shed with the original box and, I think,

false alarm.
