Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. [. . . ] MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body. turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise. Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting bolt. While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the adjusting knob (1 mm (3/64") per turn). By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you can fasten the stopper pole firmly. Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by loosening the lock lever and then lowering the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block. The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut. CAUTION: Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise or lower 0. You can easily obtain three different depths of cut using these adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole. Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut". adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut. To adjust the hex bolts, turn the hex bolts with a screwdriver or wrench. The stopper block is also convenient for making three passes with progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves. CAUTION: Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm (19/32") at a pass when cutting grooves with an 8 mm (5/16") diameter bit. When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16") diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass. For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on. [. . . ] Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps. Install the dust nozzle on the tool base using the thumb screw so that protrusion on the dust nozzle fit to the notch in the tool base. [. . . ]
