How to Adjust the Depth Gauge
The cutting bit must always protrude from the base of the
depth gauge by 4 mm plus the thickness of the material
to be cut.
For example: if you are going to cut a piece of plasterboard
that is 10 mm thick, the cutting bit must protrude 14 mm
beneath the base of the depth gauge. In other words, once
you begin cutting, there will be 4 mm of cutting bit between
the plasterboard and the base of the depth gauge.
Follow the steps below to adjust the depth gauge.
