FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut

015275
Place the tool on a flat surface. Press the lock lever down
and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat
surface. Release the lock lever to hold the tool body down.
Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise to loosen.
While pressing the fast-feed button, lower the stopper pole
until it makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt. Align the
depth pointer with the "0" graduation. The depth of cut is
indicated on the scale by the depth pointer. While pressing
the fast-feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired
depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be
obtained by turning the adjusting knob (1.6 mm (1/16") per
turn). After adjusting the depth of cut, turn the stopper pole
setting nut clockwise to fasten the stopper pole firmly.
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained
by pressing the lock lever and then lowering the tool
body until the stopper pole makes contact with the
adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.
Nylon nut
015276
CAUTION:
Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will
•
protrude dangerously.
By turning the nylon nut, the upper limit of the tool body
can be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is retracted
more than required in relation to the base plate surface,
turn the nylon nut to lower the upper limit.

CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
•
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth
of cut should not be more than 15 mm (9/16") at a
pass when cutting grooves with an 8 mm (5/16")
diameter bit.
When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16")
•
diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more
than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass.
For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or
•
three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Stopper block

015277
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which
raise or lower 0.8 mm (1/32") per turn. You can easily
obtain three different depths of cut using these adjusting
hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of
cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower
depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex
bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolt height, turn the hex bolts with a
screw driver or wrench. The stopper block is also
convenient for making three passes with progressively
deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
