4. Adjusting hex bolt 5. Stopper block
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise
or lower 0.8 mm (about 1/32") per turn. You can easily obtain
three different depths of cut using these adjusting hex bolts
without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of cut, following
the method of "Adjusting depth of cut". Adjust the two remaining hex
bolts to obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of
these hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolts, turn the hex bolts. The stopper block
is also convenient for making three passes with progressively
deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
CAUTION:
• 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 previously
mentioned. To adjust, proceed as follows:
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. Then 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 pro-
trudes from the tool base, be careful when handling the tool.
Adjusting the lock lever
► 1. Lock lever 2. Screw
The locked position of the lock lever is adjustable. To
adjust it, remove the screw securing the lock lever. The

angle. After adjustment, tighten the lock lever clockwise.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
CAUTION:
Install the bit securely. Always use only the
wrenches provided with the tool. A loose or
overtightened bit can be dangerous.
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a
bit. It can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
