(11) Cutting depth stopper
The cutting depth stopper permits free and
easy adjustment of the saw blade depth
when it is pressed down into the workpiece.
As illustrated in Fig. 21, first loosen the M8
wing nut, then turn the M8 cutting depth
adjustment bolt by hand to change the
contact of the tip of the bolt with the hinge to
adjust the height of the saw blade. (See Fig.
21.)
Through appropriate adjustment of the
cutting depth, grooves can be cut in the
workpiece as illustrated in Fig. 22. The
portion between the grooves can then be
removed with a hand chisel or similar device.
The two M8 nuts are precisely adjusted to
serve as the lower limit stopper for the saw
blade, and must not be loosened during
adjustment of the cutting depth.
(12) Retractable carrying handle
The Model C 12FSA is equipped with a
retractable carrying handle that can be
pushed into the main body when not in use,
this convenient carrying handle does not
interfere with the machine operation.
