CAUTION:

Adjusting the depth of cut
003652
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body
until the bit just touches the flat surface. Press the lock lever down to lock the
tool body.
Now lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt.
The stopper pole can be moved rapidly by depressing the fast-feed button.
While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired
depth of cut is obtained. The depth of cut is equal to the distance between the
stopper pole and the adjusting hex bolt. Stopper pole travel can be checked
with the scale (1 mm per graduation) on the tool body. Minute depth adjust-
ments can be obtained by turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm per turn).
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by loosening the lock
lever and then lowering the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact with
the adjusting hex bolt.
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 20 mm at a
pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 20
mm deep, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
• Do not lower the knob too low. The bit will protrude dangerously.
For the tool with knob
003655
By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted. When the
tip of the bit is retracted more than required in relation to the base plate sur-
1
face, turn the knob to lower the upper limit.
For the tool with nylon nut
005065
The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut. Do
not lower the nylon nut too low. The bit will protrude dangerously.
