Trench Depth Adjustment; Setting The Table Square With The Blade - GMC DB305SMS Mode D'emploi

Trench depth adjustment

• In its normal position, the
Trenching Stop (31) permits the
saw blade to cut right through a
workpiece
• When the saw arm is lifted, the
trenching stop can be moved
to the left so that the Trenching
Depth Adjustment Screw (30)
contacts the stop as the saw
arm is lowered. (Fig. O). This
restricts the cut to a 'trench' in the
workpiece.
• The depth of the trench can be adjusted with the Trenching Depth
Adjustment Screw (30) (Fig. P) and locked in position with the
Trenching Depth Lock Nut (32) (Fig. Q).
