The depth stop adjustment is a feature used to limit
blade depth when cutting grooves in the workpiece.
NOTE: Read and understand all instructions on page
15 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, swing depth stop
plate up 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 42).
2. For minor adjustments, simply rotate the depth
stop screw to the desired location.
WARNING
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 43.
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.
