Depth of Cut Adjustment

!WARNING To avoid possible injury, disconnect plug from power

source before performing any assembly, adjustments or repairs.

The depth stop plate is a feature provided to allow for (normal) full-depth cuts or non-through cuts used to cut grooves.

Setting Blade Depth for Normal

full-Depth Cuts

1.When making normal full-depth cuts, push the depth stop plate in toward the saw head (see Figure 16). This will allow the depth stop screw to pass through the hole in the plate.

2.Check for full depth of cut:

-Set table at 0° miter and push saw fully back.

-Pull out head assembly lock pin to the release position.

-Push down saw head and watch the depth stop screw pass through the stop plate without any binding or contact with the plate.

NOTE: For best results, Bosch recommends the use of a table saw with an optional dado blade set for cutting grooves and non-through cuts. In the event this is not available, the feature described below is a convenient alternative.

1.Release (pull out) the head asembly lock pin and allow the saw head to move fully up. Slide saw head to the full back position.

2.Pull the depth stop plate out away from the saw head (see Figure 17).

3.Grip the main handle (item 3, page 8) and push down the saw head while watching the depth stop screw contact the top surface of the depth stop plate. The screw will not pass through the hole in the plate.

4.Turn the knob at the end of the depth stop screw (while the threaded end is in contact with stop plate) and watch the bottom of the saw blade move. This adjustment sets the depth of cut.

See page 44 for “Cutting Grooves” instructions.
