9.2.2. Setting the work depth
a. Adjustable scale
To set the distance whereby the blade drops below the contact surface of the tracks, there is
a gradual scale setting on the side of the machine.
• 8 positions can be selected, giving the blade
15 mm (1/2”)
of extra depth between two con-
secutive positions. In this way you can use this setting to allow the blade to drop a maximum
of 60 mm (2 1/3”) below the track level.
• Before selecting the blade depth, you must first raise the blade to its highest (floating)
position. To do so, squeeze the operating lever to release the blade. This is found on the right
handle of the handlebars. When released, a locked blade will automatically spring upwards.
• Now, pull the bolt
(1)
on the lever
(2)
for the depth-setting backwards and move the lever to
the position on the scale which is closest to the desired cutting depth. To keep the lever in
this position, release the bolt again, allowing it to settle in the hole in the scale.
b. Fixing positions on the blade
Each blade has holes which allow it to be fixed in different positions. If the desired depth
cannot be achieved with the maximum setting options on the scale
(see a)
, the blade can be
fixed in another position.
