2. To adjust the depth-of-cut, loosen lock knob (B) Fig.
32. T urn adjustment knob (A) counterclockwise to lower
the infeed t able or clockwise to raise the infeed t able.
The ring (C) Fig. 32, indicates the depth-of-cut on scale
(D). T ighten lock knob (B), af ter adjustment is made.
3. To check if the ring (C) Fig. 32, is aligned correctly to
the depth-of-cut scale (D), place a straight edge on the
out feed t able and extend it over the infeed t able as
shown in Fig. 33.
4. Loosen locking knob (B) Fig. 34, and raise the infeed
table by turning adjustment knob (A) clockwise until the
infeed t able touches the straight edge. The ring (C) Fig. 34,
should line up with zero on the depth-of-cut scale (D).
5. If the ring on the adjustment knob does not line up
with zero on the depth-of-cut scale, make the following
adjustments:
