Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock knob
and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat
surface. Tighten the lock knob to lock the tool body.
Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise.
Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the
adjusting bolt. Align the depth pointer with the "0"
graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by
the depth pointer.
While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper
pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute
depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the
adjusting knob (1 mm per turn).
By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you
can fasten the stopper pole firmly.
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained
by loosening the lock knob and then lowering the tool
body until the stopper pole makes contact with the
adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.

By turning the nylon nut, 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 nylon nut to lower the upper limit.
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 with an 8 mm diameter bit.
When cutting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit,
•
the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm at a
pass.
For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or
•
three passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
Do not lower the nylon nut too low, or the bit will
•
protrude dangerously.

The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which
raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily obtain
three different depths of cut using these adjusting hex
bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of
cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower
depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex
bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on the
hex bolts with the wrench and then turn the hex bolts.
After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts
while holding the hex bolts in that desired position. The
