graduations on its right side and metric graduations on
its left side.
Adjusting depth of cut
The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the
width of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When
you need to remove more than the amount specified in
the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount
and make two or more passes.
Width of workpiece being cut
Less than 150 mm
150 mm - 240 mm
240 mm - 304 mm
004465
To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.

Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the
main frame by
counterclockwise. The depth gauge will rise and the
amount of gauge rise indicates the depth of cut.

Always lower the main frame when aligning the
•
indicator plate with the graduation indicating the
desired finished dimension. If you raise the main
frame into
additional play in the screw may result. This may
cause an undesired finished dimension.
