4. Raise the stopper pole until the desired depth
of cut is obtained. The depth of cut is indicated on the
scale (1 mm per graduation) by the depth pointer. Then
tighten the screw to secure the stopper pole.
5. 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
15 mm (9/16") at a pass when cutting grooves
with an 8 mm (5/16") diameter bit.
CAUTION:
When cutting grooves with a 20
mm (13/16") diameter bit, the depth of cut should
not be more than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass.
CAUTION:
When you wish to cut grooves
more than 15 mm (9/16") deep with an 8 mm
(5/16") diameter bit or more than 5 mm (3/16")
deep with a 20 mm (13/16") diameter bit, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
