Cutting Grooves
The depth stop adjustment is a feature used to
limit blade depth when cutting grooves in the
w
orkpiece.
NOTE: Read and understand all instructions on
p
age 20 in the Adjustments section on “Setting
Blade Depth for Non-Through Cuts for Cutting
Grooves.”
NOTE: For best results, Bosch recommends the
use of a table saw with an optional dado blade set
for cutting grooves and non-through cuts. In the
event this is not available, the feature described
below is a convenient alternative.
A groove should be cut as a slide cut.
1. For adjustment of groove depth, pull out depth
stop plate and rotate depth stop screw. Rotating
the depth stop screw clockwise will raise saw
blade and rotating the screw counterclockwise
will lower the blade (figure 44).
2. For minor adjustments, simply rotate the depth
stop screw to the desired location.
Be aware of the path of the
saw blade. Make a dry run
with the saw Off by conducting a simulated
cutting cycle, and observe the projected path of
the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches
away from the projected path of the saw blade.
3. Cut the two outside grooves first, figure 45.
4. After cutting a groove, shut saw “OFF” and wait
for blade to stop.
5. To remove material between cuts, move the
workpiece to the right or left. The saw must come
to a complete stop before moving workpiece.
