through the workpiece depending on the depth that it is set to. This allows
the operator to cut slots in the workpiece. NOTE: It is advisable that the
depth of cut is checked using a scrap piece of timber prior to undertaking
the workpiece. By making a cut in the workpiece and then slightly moving
the workpiece to the left or right before repeating, it is possible to perform
trenching cuts in the workpiece.

1.
Loosen the wing nut.
2.
Adjust the thumb knob to the required depth.

Once set to the desired depth, tighten the wing nut against the
retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and ensure that there is no
movement.
