Lower the main frame by turning the crank handle
counterclockwise until the indicator plate points to the
scale graduation
dimension. One full turn of the crank handle moves the
main frame 2 mm (3/32") up or down. The scale has inch
graduations on its right side and metric graduations on its
left side.

Adjusting depth of cut

The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the
width of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When
you need to remove more than the amount specified in
the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount
and make two or more passes.
Width of workpiece being cut
Less than 150 mm (5-7/8")
150 mm (5-7/8") - 240 mm (9-1/2")
240 mm (9-1/2") - 304 mm (12")
