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 or 1/16" per graduation) on the tool
body. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by
turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm or about 1/16" 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.
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 surface, turn the
knob to lower the upper limit.
