Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1 to 5 inches (2.5 to
12.7 cm) in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments. Positioning the
castor wheel axles in the top holes of the castor forks or
pivots (see chart below) allows low range height-of-cut
settings from 1 to 3-1/2 in. (2.5 to 8.9 cm); positioning the
castor wheel axles in the lower holes of the front castor
forks or rear castor pivots (See chart below) allows high
range height-of-cut settings from 2-1/2 to 5 in. (6.4 to
12.7 cm).
