Dimensional adjustment
Width
of
workpiece being cut
Lower the main frame by turning the crank
handle counterclockwise until the indicator
plate points to the scale graduation indicat-
ing the desired finished dimension. One full
turn of the crank handle moves the main
frame 2 mm
(3/32")
up or down. The scale
has inch graduations on its right side and
metric graduations on its left side.

Adjusting depth of cut
The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the width
of
workpiece being cut.
Refer to the table below. When you need to remove more than the amount specified in
the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount and make two or more passes.
1.5 mm (1/16")
1
.O mm
(3/64")
To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as fol-
lows.
Insert the workpiece flat on the table top.
Lower the main frame by turning the crank
handle counterclockwise. The depth gauge
will rise and the amount of gauge rise indi-
cates the depth of cut.
CAUTION:
*Always lower the main frame when aligning the indicator plate with the graduation in-
dicating the desired finished dimension. If you raise the main frame into the desired fin-
ished dimension, additional play in the screw may result. This may cause an undesired
finished dimension.
*Always place the workpiece flat on the table top when predeterming the depth of cut.
Otherwise, the predetermined depth of cut will differ from actual depth of cut.
