The recommended cutting depth for all materials is
below the top surface of the cutting table (Fig M1). To
adjust cutting depth, loosen Mounting Plate Adjustment
Knob, set the blade height and tighten the Adjustment

to the cutting table. If the blade is set too high, it may catch
or grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possible injury.
