TOCHANGEBLADE DEPTH

See Figure 28.

The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of

the blade are higher thanthe workpiece by approximately

1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below

the top surface.

[] Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting

handwheel clockwise or lower it by turning the hand-
