Blade Adjustment
The blade depth is regulated by a fi ne screw feed that travels 1 /
32
" per turn for
precision adjustment with the resulting depth of cut controlled by the depth stop.
The blade can be adjusted to a depth of 1
" .
Release the clamping pressure by backing off the locking knob a quarter turn.
(Spring pressure will be maintained to prevent the blade from falling free while
allowing it to be adjusted.) Turn the depth adjustment knob to advance or retract
the blade as required. Reclamp the blade by tightening the locking knob.
With the blade set to the desired depth, raise the depth stop* until it contacts the
underside of the depth adjustment knob, then tighten the knob.
*Note: If the depth stop prevents the blade from travelling to the desired setting,
you may have to fi rst lower it.
Use the depth adjustment knob to return the blade to its starting position. Check
the depth stop knob and retighten if required. Advance the blade ever so slightly
with each successive cut by loosening the locking knob, adjusting the depth as
described above and retightening the locking knob, until the depth adjustment
knob encounters the depth stop.
