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 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 at a pass
when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 15 mm deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
