in the base and through holes in mounting
surface. The approximate length of the screws should be
the thickness of the mounting surface plus 4" (102mm).

and then retighten screw. Do not allow
cordset to come into contact with deflector or sparks as
damage to cordset mayoccur.
Depth Stop (Fig. A)
Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 14" (355 mm)
wheel to prevent wheel from cutting into the supporting
surface. To allow more depth of cut, use a wrench (not
provided) to loosen the depth stop bolt and jam nut
