Saw Operations
Cutting Grooves
The depth stop adjustment is a feature used
when cutting grooves in the workpiece.
The depth adjustment is used to limit blade
depth to cut grooves.
NOTE: Read and understand all instructions
on
page 22
in the “Adjustments” section on
“Setting Blade Depth for Non-Through Cuts
for Cutting Grooves.”
NOTE: For best results, Bosch recom-
mends the use of a table saw with an op-
tional 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.
A groove should be cut as a slide cut.
1.
For adjustment of groove depth, pull out
depth stop plate
33
and rotate depth
stop screw
32
(Fig. 55). Rotating the
depth stop screw clockwise will raise
saw blade and rotating the screw coun-
terclockwise will lower the blade.
2.
For minor adjustments, simply rotate the
depth stop screw to the desired loca-
tion.
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches (152mm)
away from the projected path of the saw
blade.
3.
Cut the two outside grooves first.
4.
After cutting a groove, shut saw “OFF”
and wait for blade to stop.
5.
To remove material between cuts, move
the workpiece to the right or left. The
saw must come to a complete stop be-
fore moving workpiece.
