ADJUSTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIG. T)

The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the factory. Check to see that the blade does not extend more than 1/4 in. below the table insert, and does not touch the control arm throat or any part of the base or table. If the maximum depth needs readjusting:

1.Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving the cutting head down until the blade extends just 1/4 in. below the table insert.

2.Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the stop plate (2).

3.Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a cut along the control arm. If the blade touches the inside of the control arm, readjust the setting.
