5FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before adjusting or checking functionon the tool.Adjusting the depth of cut12009744Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the screwsecuring the stopper pole.Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until thebit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever tolock the tool body.12009745Next, lower the stopper pole until it makes contact withthe adjusting hex bolt. Align the depth pointer with the"0" graduation.Raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut isobtained. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale (1mm per graduation) by the depth pointer. Then tightenthe screw to secure the stopper pole.Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtainedby loosening the lock lever and then lowering the toolbody until the stopper pole makes contact with theadjusting hex bolt.12345009746CAUTION:• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of themotor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depthof cut should not be more than 15 mm at a passwhen cutting grooves with an 8 mm diameter bit.• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit,the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm ata pass.When you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mmdeep with an 8 mm diameter bit or more than 5mm deep with a 20 mm diameter bit, make severalpasses with progressively deeper bit settings.Stopper block12345009746The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts whichraise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily obtainthree different depths of cut using these adjusting hexbolts without readjusting the stopper pole.Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth ofcut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut".Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallowerdepths of cut. The differences in height of these hexbolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.To adjust the hex bolts, turn the hex bolts. The stopperblock is also convenient for making three passes withprogressively deeper bit settings when cutting deepgrooves.CAUTION:When using a bit having total length of 60 mm or more,or edge length of 35 mm or more, the depth of cutcannot be adjusted as previously mentioned. To adjust,proceed as follows:Loosen the lock lever and carefully adjust bit protrusionbelow the tool base to the desired depth of cut bymoving the tool body up or down. Then retighten thelock lever to lock the tool body at that depth of cut. Keepthe tool body locked at this position during use. Sincethe bit always protrudes from the tool base, be carefulwhen handling the tool.1. Depth pointer2. Screw3. Stopper pole4. Adjusting hexbolt5. Stopper block1. Depth pointer2. Screw3. Stopper pole4.
