005039
Place the tool on a flat surface. Turn the scale ring until it
makes contact with the base. Loosen the knob. Turn the
scale ring until the bit just touches the flat surface.
Tighten the knob. Place the tool on its side and turn the
scale ring counterclockwise (when viewing the tool from
the top) until the desired depth of cut is obtained. One
full turn of the scale ring is equal to 5 mm (about 3/16")
change in depth setting. Loosen the knob and move the
tool base until it makes contact with the scale ring. Then
tighten the knob securely.
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 (5/8") at a
pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 15 mm (5/8") deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
