Installing the Imperial Depth Gauge

The TS 55 REQ comes with an optional imperial depth gauge sticker to replace the standard metric depth gauge.

1.Set the depth gauge pointer to its maximum setting.

2.Using a sharp pencil, carefully mark the zero-depth posi- tion of the depth gauge on the blade housing.

5.Taking care not to kink the sticker, tuck the bottom under the depth gauge pointer.

6.Make sure the sticker is properly aligned along the edge of the blade cover, peel back more of the paper backing, and press the sticker down.

7.Raise the depth pointer back toward zero, peel back the rest of the paper backing, and finish adhering the rest of the sticker.

Mark the zero- depth position.

3.Peel back no more than 1/3 of the paper backing from the top of the sticker. Peeling the paper back at a slight angle (as shown) will reduce the likelihood of kinking the sticker later.

Important: Notice that the top of the sticker has the zero-depth indicator, and the numbers increase as they go down.

4.Carefully position the sticker over the existing gauge with the zero-depth aligned with the pencil mark you made above, and straight along the edge of the blade cover.
