Stopper block
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.
CAUTION:
When cutting grooves with a 20
mm diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be
more than 5 mm at a pass.
CAUTION:
For extra-deep grooving operations, make
two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
As 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 without readjusting the stopper pole.

Adjust the lowest adjusting hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth
of cut, following the method of "Adjusting the depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining adjusting hex bolts to obtain shallower
depths of cut. The differences in height of these adjusting hex
bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the adjusting hex bolts, turn the adjusting hex
bolts with a screwdriver or wrench. The stopper block is
also convenient for making three passes with progres-
sively deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.

CAUTION:
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
