ADJUSTING FREEHAND SOLE PLATE

1.Adjust precision handle sole plate depth, by loosening the depth gauge knob (5) and sliding the sole plate (6) in or out as required (see Fig. 11).

NOTE: Set the depth gauge so the cutting bit protrudes beyond the sole plate 1/8” more than the thickness of the material being cut. For example, if you are cutting 3/4” pine, the bit should protrude 7/8” beyond the sole plate.

2.Securely tighten depth gauge knob.

3.Before starting to cut you should re-check bit depth, make sure sole plate is at right angles to the bit and securely tightened. Re-check the collet to make sure the bit is securely fastened.
