▶ Depth of Cut Adjustment
To avoid possible injury,
disconnect plug from
power
source
before
performing
any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.
The depth stop plate is a feature provided to
allow for (normal) full-depth cuts or non-
through cuts used to cut grooves.
▼ SETTING BLADE DEPTH FOR NORMAL
FULL-DEPTH CUTS
1.
When making normal full-depth cuts, push
the depth stop plate in toward the saw head
(see Figure 16). This will allow the depth
stop screw to pass through the hole in the
plate.
2.
Check for full depth of cut:
- Set table at 0° miter and push saw fully
back.
- Pull out head assembly lock pin to the
release position.
- Push down saw head and watch the depth
stop screw pass through the stop plate
without any binding or contact with the
plate.
▼ SETTING BLADE DEPTH FOR NON-
THROUGH CUTS FOR CUTTING GROOVES
NOTE: For best results, Bosch recommends
the use of a table saw with an optional dado
blade set for cutting grooves and non-through
cuts. In the event this is not available, the
feature described below is a convenient
alternative.
1.
Release (pull out) the head asembly lock pin
and allow the saw head to move fully up.
Slide saw head to the full back position.
2.
Pull the depth stop plate out away from the
saw head (see Figure 17).
3.
Grip the main handle (item 3, page 11) and
push down the saw head while watching the
depth stop screw contact the top surface of
the depth stop plate. The screw will not
pass through the hole in the plate.
4.
Turn the knob at the end of the depth stop
screw (while the threaded end is in contact
with stop plate) and watch the bottom of
the saw blade move. This adjustment sets
the depth of cut.
