handle (3) lines up with the shaft locking button (4) in
the motor housing (see Fig. 10).

ADJUSTING FREEHAND SOLE PLATE

3.
Adjust precision handle sole plate depth by loosening
the depth gauge locking knob (7) and rotating the
adjusting knob (8) to move the sole plate (9) in or out
as required (see Fig. 11).
NOTE: Set the depth gauge so the cutting bit
protrudes beyond the sole plate 1/8"more than the
thickness of the material being cut. For example, if
you are cutting 3/4" pine, the bit should protrude 7/8"
beyond the sole plate.
Securely tighten depth gauge knob.
Before starting to cut you should re-check bit depth,
make sure sole plate is at right angles to the bit and
securely tightened. Re-check the coltet to make sure
the bit is securely fastened.
