Trenching
Trenching refers to restricting the depth of cut and permits a "trench" to be cut in
the workpiece.
1. Ensure the cutting head (3) is raised and the slide lock
(32) is released (Fig. 19).
2. Move the trenching stop (34) to the left as far as it will
go (Fig. 20).
3. To check that the trenching stop (34) is correctly
placed, lower the cutting head (3) until the trenching
stop adjustment screw (33) touches the trenching stop
(34) (Fig. 21).
4. To adjust the trenching depth rotate the trenching
depth adjustment screw (33). Lock it in position using
the trenching depth lock nut (35) (Fig. 22).
NOTE:
Trenching can only be performed when using slide
mode. Doing a straight non-slide cut will result in a
curved trench.
5. Before cutting into the workpiece, use a scrap piece
of wood and do a test cut to ensure the trenching
depth is correct.
