To use the fine adjustment feature, release the base clamp lever, pull up the fine adjustment knob and turn the knob clockwise to lower, or counterclockwise to raise the bit (Fig. 2).

(Note that one full turn of the knob will raise or lower the bit approximately 1/16"of an inch.) After making depth adjustments, re-clamp the motor.

NOTE: All depth adjustments must be made with the base clamp lever released.

DEEP CUTS

For deeper cuts, make several progressively deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then make several subsequent passes, increasing the cutting depth with each pass.

To be certain that your depth settings are as desired, you may want to make test cuts in scrap material before beginning work.
