To adjust the blade to the desired cutting depth, perform the
following steps:
1. Mount the desired diamond blade on the shaft and secure
as instructed in the Blade Removal and Replacement
section.
2. While holding the handle bars to support the weight of the
saw, grasp the knob of the Depth Stop Rod and move it
forward out of its keyhole slot. (Figure 14)
3. Gently allow the blade to contact the surface.
4. Rotate the Depth Stop Disk about the Screw Plunger and
line up the bottom edge of the Depth Stop Disk across
from desired depth line mark.. THIS LINE MARK WILL
COINCIDE WITH THE BLADE CUTTING DEPTH
REGARDLESS OF BLADE DIAMETER USED.
5. Press down on the handlebars again to lift the blade until
the Depth Stop Rod drops into the back portion of the
keyhole slot.
6. You are ready to start cutting. Refer to the following pre-
inspection and operation sections.
7. Test the depth of cut by cutting a short distance, then measure
the depth of the cut.
