Just got my lovely ex-wife one of those for Xmas. It came with the three
blades and a wonderful little booklet that neither the kiddo or I can
translate completely. The eigo text is somewhat helpful until you hit the
bit on how to adjust the cutting depth. It has a little knurled knob that
will screw in and out with what looks like an M with an arrow pointing to it
and an S with an arrow pointing to it. Looks like if you turn the knob
towards the S the cut will get finer? Anyone have this version and can
comment on it?
