Crank handle 2. Scale 3. Main frame4. Indicator plateLower the main frame by turning the crank handle coun-terclockwise until the indicator plate points to the scalegraduation indicating the desired finished dimension.One full turn of the crank handle moves the main frame2 mm up or down. The scale has inch graduations on itsright side and metric graduations on its left side.Adjusting depth of cutThe maximum depth of cut differs depending upon thewidth of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. Whenyou need to remove more than the amount specifiedin the table, set the depth of cut shallower than theamount and make two or more passes.Width of workpiece being cutLess than 150 mm150 mm - 240 mm240 mm - 304 mmMaximum depth of cut3.0 mm1.5 mm1.0 mmTo adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.► Fig.5: 1. Depth gaugeInsert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower themain frame by turning the crank handle counterclock-wise. The depth gauge will rise and the amount ofgauge rise indicates the depth of cut.CAUTION:• Always lower the main frame when aligning theindicator plate with the graduation indicatingthe desired finished dimension. If you raise themain frame into the desired finished dimension,additional play in the screw may result. This maycause an undesired finished dimension.• Always place the workpiece flat on the tabletop when predetermining the depth of cut.Otherwise, the predetermined depth of cut willdiffer from actual depth of cut.
