Inserting the Motor into the Base
(fi g. 1, 3)
1. Open the locking lever (p) on the base.
2. If the depth adjustment ring (c) is not on the
motor, thread the ring (c) onto the motor until
the ring is about halfway between the top and
bottom of the motor. Insert the motor into the
base by aligning the groove in the back of the
motor unit with the groove pins (e) on the base.
Slide the motor down until the depth adjustment
ring snaps into place.
3. Adjust the depth of cut by turning the depth
adjustment ring. Refer to Adjusting the Depth
of Cut.
4. Close the locking lever (p) when the desired
depth is achieved. For information on setting the
cutting depth, Refer to Adjusting the Depth
of Cut.
Locking Lever Adjustment (fi g. 1)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the
locking lever (p). Using excessive force may damage
the base.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should
not move in the base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not
clamp without excessive force or if the motor moves
in the base after clamping.
ADJUSTING THE LOCKING LEVER'S CLAMPING FORCE
1. Open the locking lever (p).
2. Using a 2 mm hex wrench turn locking lever
adjustment screw (q) in small increments.
Turning the screw clockwise tightens the lever,
while turning the screw counterclockwise
loosens the lever.
