Sagi,
If your board is not flat, then you may experience the effect of not cutting until you extend the blade too much.
Also, the bevel of the blade should be around 25 – 30 degrees. If the bevel is too steep, then the cutting edge may not engage the wood and the plane is riding on the bevel belly over the wood.
