(FIG. 35)
WARNING: Improperly adjusting the cutting
wheel depth could cause the cutting wheel
to come in contact with the sliding table
resulting in damage to the unit and/or
possible serious injury.
The depth stop is factory set to provide
maximum cutting capacity for the wheel provided
with the saw. Make adjustments if desired.
Adjusting the cutting depth
The depth of cut can be preset for even and
repetitive shallow cuts.
● Disconnect the saw from the power source.
● To adjust the depth, loosen the cutting head
lock knob (MM) and pull out the hold-down
latch (SS). Grasp the motor handle (KK) to
adjust the cutting head down until the cutting
wheel is at the desired depth.
● While holding the cutting head in the desired
position, loosen the wing nut (1) and turn the
cutting depth stop knob (LL) until it touches
the stop plate (2). Tighten the wing nut (1)
and then release the hold-down latch (SS)
and tighten the cutting head lock knob (MM).
● Recheck the cutting wheel depth by pushing
the sliding table front to back past the cutting
wheel and make sure the cutting wheel does
not touch the grooves of the sliding table.
