The settings indicated in the table are approximations. The setting will differ depending on the type and thickness of the material to be cut. Be sure to perform a trial cutting first.

(1) Turn to the left to decrease the blade extension. (2) Turn to the right to increase the blade extension. |
Adjust the blade extension to slightly exceed the thickness of the material that will be cut. Use the markings on the holder to make the adjustment.

Be careful that the blade does not extend too much. The blade can cut even though it only slightly extends from the holder. If too much of the blade extends, it may break.
After adjusting the blade extension, install the holder in the machine.
