Setting the Depth Stop
This saw uses a hydraulic Depth Stop to position and lock the blade at the
desired cut depth.
1.With the blade raised several inches off the ground, open the Depth Stop Valve to allow the cylinder to “pump out”.
2.Close the Depth Stop Valve. The system is now “preloaded” and ready to complete setting the desired cutting depth.
3.While holding the Lowering Button and viewing the Depth Indicator, slowly reopen the Depth Stop Valve and use it to control the lowering of the blade to the desired depth as observed on the Depth Indicator.
4.When the desired depth is achieved close the Depth Stop Valve and release the Lowering Button.
5.The saw will now repeatedly lower to the set cutting depth whenever the Lowering Button is depressed.
6.If a different cutting depth is desired repeat these steps resetting to desired cutting depth.

To disable the Depth Stop when it is not needed:
1.Open the Depth Stop Valve.
2.Set the Blade Collars on the ground.
3.Close the Depth Stop Valve.
Do not cut with the Depth Stop Valve in the OPEN position; this could cause the blade to rise out of the cut.
