ADJUSTMENTS
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It allows the wheel to go below the machine base enough to maintain full cutting capacities.
The adjustable depth stop is a nylok bolt threaded into the base of the machine at the rear. To adjust the depth stop use an 8 mm wrench to raise or lower the depth stop bolt.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 14 in. (356 mm) abrasive wheel provided with your
When the diameter of the wheel has been reduced due to wear, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. When a new abrasive wheel is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the wheel to the machine base support.
