I may be simply overlooking the obvious here, but…How do I take the depth control knob off? I want to smooth things out in there (graphite powder, o-ring) but I cannot figure out how to get it off. Thanks- smiley
…Unplug it first!!!..You need a punch pin of the right size(something like a 1/8" dia.),and a hammer.Turn the knob clockwise(fully opened cut mode),(this part get’s a little tricky),as there isn’t much room to do this, so take your time with it.Drive the pin loose/out with the pin punch and hammer from the backside going forward, starting with lite but firm hits,and increase the impact as needed.The first one for me was easy, it just popped out with a gentle tap.The second one was a …you know.With the stubborn one I had to slam it several times with pin and hammer and use vicegrips to eventually get it out.It was no quick deal on that one.Herb
