Adjusting depth of cut

1
► 1. Knob 2. Scale plate
The depth of cut can be adjusted within a range of
0 - 3.5 mm (1/8"). Turn the knob on the front of the tool
until the pointer is aligned with the desired cutting depth
on the scale. Set the depth of a cut observing the max-
imum depth which is limited by width according to the
following table.
Corelation of width of cut and maximun depth of cut
Width of cut
0 - 150 mm (0 - 5-7/8")
150 - 240 mm (5-7/8" - 9-1/2")
240 - 312 mm (9-1/2" - 12-1/4")

Edge fence (Guide rule)
► 1. Pins 2. Edge fence (Guide rule)
Edge fence is useful for minimizing a short run of cut by
cutting in a uniform width. The edge fence (guide rule)
is provided on the side of the tool. Press two pins for the
edge fence (guide rule) so that the edge fence appears.
Move the tool forward while keeping the flat surface of
the edge fence in contact with the side of the workpiece.
To return the edge fence to an original position, push it
upwards from its underside.
