Stopper block
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which
raise or lower 0.8 mm (approx. 1/32") per turn. You can
easily obtain three different depths of cut using these
adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.

1.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest
depth of cut, following the method of "Adjusting the
depth of cut".
2. Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shal-
lower depths of cut. The differences in height of these
hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
3.
Turn the hex bolts to adjust the depth. The stopper
block is also convenient for making three passes with
progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep
grooves.
NOTE: When using a bit having total length of 60 mm
(2-3/8") or more, or edge length of 35 mm (1-3/8") or
more, the depth of cut cannot be adjusted as previ-
ously mentioned. To adjust, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock lever and carefully adjust bit
protrusion below the tool base to the desired
depth of cut by moving the tool body up or
down.
2. Retighten the lock lever to lock the tool body at
that depth of cut. Keep the tool body locked at
this position during use.
Since the bit always protrudes from the tool base, be
careful when handling the tool.
Adjusting the lock lever
The locked position of the lock lever is adjustable. To
adjust it, remove the screw securing the lock lever. The
lock lever will come off. Set the lock lever at the desired
angle. After adjustment, tighten the lock lever clockwise.
