Have just taken delivery of an ex-demo RALI 260L, and it’s without instructions (except the illustrations on the outside of the box). Are there any other owners who can explain how the mouth adjusts? Usually I can get by without reading the instructions, but in this case the clever Swiss have beaten me!

Ahhhh, you bought the one on eBay Express maybe?? Seeing as how you haven't any spot-on responses yet, here's some info that may help.
Here is a thread on a UK woodworking forum that discussion Rali planes in general, you might get some help from the poster who owns a Rali.
Here is a company that sells the disposable blades and one of their planes.
Here is the Google Search that led me to the two links.
... and the Swiss had this to say:Dear Sir,Sorry, but we haven't further illustrations than appears on the box. But we can give you the following information:- you take the key that you have in your handle and open 2 screws on each side of the front of your planes. So you can adjust the mouth.For more information about this plane, please contact Mr. Roger Bucher: [email protected]Best regardsSAMVAZ SA

It is quite simple the forward part is held by four screws you loosen those then adjust the forward part so the mouth opening is to you liking then tighten the screws and you are done.

... and this is what the nice people who sold it to me had to say in this morning's email;:"Unfortunately there are no printed instructions other than on the box, and
the manufacturer's website has less information than ours. I guess those
Swiss, especially the French-speaking ones, think everything should be
obvious :-)."To adjust the width of the mouth, you loosen the four screws on each side of
the front of the plane. That section will then slide. Place it where you
want it and then just tighten the screws."I should be more patient!Malcolmhttp://www.macpherson.co.nz
