▶ Cutting Grooves

The depth stop adjustment is a feature used
when cutting grooves in the workpiece.
The depth adjustment is used to limit blade
depth to cut grooves.
NOTE: Read and understand all instructions
on page 23 in the Adjustments section on
"Setting Blade Depth for Non-Through Cuts
for Cutting Grooves."
NOTE: For best results, Bosch recommends
the use of a table saw with an optional dado
blade set for cutting grooves and non-through
cuts. In the event this is not available, the
feature described below is a convenient
alternative.
A groove should be cut as a slide cut.
1. For adjustment of groove depth, pull out
depth stop plate and rotate depth stop
screw. Rotating the depth stop screw
clockwise will raise saw blade and rotating
the screw counterclockwise will lower the
blade.
2. For minor adjustments, simply rotate the
depth stop screw to the desired location.
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands
at least six (6) inches away from the
projected path of the saw blade.
