Depth Lock
The Depth Lock allows the operator to set the cutting depth. When the Depth
Lock is used the machine will not lower below the operator preset depth of cut.
To set the Depth Lock:
1.
Follow the instructions in sections D. Operating the Saw pages 9 to
21 and E. Cutting Technique subsection Depth Gauge page 22.
2.
When the desired depth of cut is reached rotate the Depth Stop Knob
clockwise unit it can not be rotated any more. The Depth Stop is now
set. A cut will be at this preset depth until the Depth Stop is
disengaged by rotating the Depth Stop Knob counter clockwise until it
can not be rotated any more.
For example: If the Depth Stop is preset by the operator to 3” the machine
will not lower more than 3” below the work surface until the Depth Stop is
disengaged.
If the machine will not lower, the Depth Stop has
been set. Rotate the Depth Stop Knob counter
clockwise to disengage the Depth Stop.
