FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.

Adjusting the depth of cut

► 1. Scale ring 2. Knob
Place the tool on a flat surface. Turn the scale ring until
it makes contact with the base. Loosen the knob. Turn
the scale ring until the bit just touches the flat surface.
Tighten the knob. Place the tool on its side and turn the
scale ring counterclockwise (when viewing the tool from
the top) until the desired depth of cut is obtained. One
full turn of the scale ring is equal to 5 mm (about 3/16")
change in depth setting. Loosen the knob and move the
tool base until it makes contact with the scale ring. Then
tighten the knob securely.
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
(5/8") at a pass when cutting grooves. When
you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mm (5/8")
deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper bit settings.
