SETTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIGURE S)
The depth of cut can be preset for even
and repetitive shallow cuts.
• Adjust the cutting head down (See
CUTTING HEAD section) until the teeth
of the blade are at the desired depth.
• While holding the upper arm in that
position, turn the stop knob (1) until it
touches the stop plate (2).
• Recheck the blade depth by moving
the cutting head front to back through
the full motion of a typical cut along the
control arm.
ADJUSTING CUTTING DEPTH
(FIGURE S)
The maximum depth travel of the cutting
head was set at the factory. Check to see
that the blade does not extend more than
1/4 in. below the table insert, and does not
touch the control arm throat or any part of
the base or table. If the maximum depth
needs readjusting:
• Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving
the cutting head down until the blade
extends just 1/4 in. below the table
insert.
• Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the
stop plate (2).
• Recheck the blade depth by moving
the cutting head front to back through
the full motion of a cut along the control
arm. If the blade touches the inside of
the control arm, readjust the setting.
