Next, lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with
the adjusting hex bolt. Align the depth pointer with the
"0" graduation.
Raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is
obtained. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale (1
mm or 1/16" per graduation) by the depth pointer. Then
tighten the screw to secure the stopper pole.

CAUTION:
• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of
the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the
depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm
(9/16") at a pass when cutting grooves with an 8
mm (5/16") diameter bit.
• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16")
diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more
than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass.
When you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mm
(9/16") deep with an 8 mm (5/16") diameter bit
or more than 5 mm (3/16") deep with a 20 mm
(13/16") diameter bit, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.
