To adjust the working depth, turn off the machine, and
then turn the adjusting dial while pressing the lock-off
button.

The working depth can be adjusted in the range of
between -12 mm (-15/32") and 5 mm (3/16").
When you turn the adjusting dial to the far left position,
the working depth becomes the shallowest (5 mm
(3/16") from the ground). When you turn the adjusting
dial to the far right position, the working depth becomes
the deepest (-12 mm (-15/32") from the ground). When
you set the adjusting dial to the upper center position,
the working depth becomes 0.
The table below shows the relationship between the
number in the figure and the approximate working
depth.

NOTE: The working depth can be set in 1 mm (1/32")
increments.
NOTE: The working depth figures should be used just
as a guideline. Depending on lawn or soil conditions,
the actual working depth may become slightly differ-
ent from the set depth.
NOTE: Try a test operation in a less conspicuous
place to get the desired depth.

- 4 mm (-5/32")
- 8 mm (-5/16")
- 12 mm (-15/32")
NOTE: When you turn the adjusting dial to the right
and set it to the lower scale of the machine, the work-
ing depth is set to -12 mm (-15/32").
If the set working depth cannot be obtained when
you set the adjusting dial to the lower scale of the
machine depending on the conditions such as lawn
environment or wear of scarifier blades, you can
operate the machine with a setting one step deeper
by turning the adjusting dial to the right beyond the
lower scale.
