The blade on a molding plane can be released by tapping the notch in the wedge with the mallet. Reposition the blade in the plane, with the bevel at least an eighth of an inch shy of the mouth. Reset the wedge firmly, tapping it tight with a few gentle mallet strokes while holding the iron tight to the frog.

Then set the depth as described above.
