Adjusting The Depth Guide; Optional Accessories - Makita HS009G Instruction Manual

Adjusting the depth guide

1. Make the base perpendicular, and set the depth of
cut to the deepest.
2. Loosen the adjusting screws for the depth guide.
The depth guide automatically adjusts its position.
3. Tighten the adjusting screws for the depth guide.
4. Adjust the parallelism by referring to the section
for parallelism.

1. Set the tool to the maximum cutting depth.
2. Make sure all levers and screws are tightened.
3. Loosen the screws shown in the figure.
4. While opening the lower guard, move the rear of
the base so that the distance A and B becomes equal.
