▶ Depth of Cut
When a new blade is installed, it may be necessary
to check the clearance of the blade to the
turntable structure. 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
Fig. 10). This will allow the depth stop screw to
pass through the hole in the plate.
2.
Check for full depth of cut:
a.
Set table at 0° miter and push saw fully back.
b.
Pull out head assembly lock pin to the release
position.
c.
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 Fig. 11).
3.
Grip the main handle (item
3
, page 10) and push
down the saw head while watching the depth
stop screw contact the top surface of the depth
stop 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.
See page 37 for “Cutting Grooves” instructions.
