depth
adjustment
should
permit only one tooth of the blade to proie_ below the
material
to be cut. (For carbide tipped
blades, only
of.a tooth.) Depth adjustment
should allow only
the minimum
blade exposure beyond maximum thick-
ness of material
to be cut, More depth will an/y in-
crease friction and make for a rough cut. To adjust
depth of cut (See Fig. 3) loosen knob (A), grasp han-
dle, bold rear of base against flat surface
and raise
un_ until required depth is reached, Tighten
knob h)
lock,
A setting approximately
Ya inch d_pper than

mediate settings blade will cut slightly to the left of
the guide edge. To compensate offeatyonr
guide line
to the right on the board to be cut.
The rip guide provided with your sew will assist you
in making rip cuts of up to 5_
inches. (See Pig. 4)
Outboard bose must be removed I_fose assembling rip

line with _requirod angle setting on bevel scale and
tighten
knob (A) (See Fig. 5), After setting at requir-
ed angle make a tria.I cut in scrap material along a
guide line to determine
how much if any guide line
must be offset to produce desirable cut.
