Depth-Control Lever

The depth-control lever allows you to set the depth of
the cutting blades in 10 cutting positions along with
1 position for transportation. To adjust the depth,
remove the hairpin cotter, pull the locking pin out, and
move the lever forward or rearward to the desired
depth setting (

Figure 8

).

Important:

Do not pull the lever side to side as

this will bend it.
