Product manual

The Depth Indicator Ring may be reset to "0" (zero) without moving the Fine
Adjustment Dial. This allows the user to begin adjustments from any reference point.
To Adjust Depth (Figs. 18 and 1;
1. Turn the router motor off
and unplug the router from
the power source.
2. Place the router, with the
cutting bit installed, on
a flat, level surface with
the back of the fixed base
facing you.
3. Open the Router-Motor
Clamp (A).
4. Press in Coarse
Adjustment Knob (B), and
lower the router motor into
Fig. 19
the base until the cutting bit is very close to the flat surface on which the the
base is sitting.
5. Turn Fine Adjustment Dial (F) until the cutting bit "just" touches the flat
surface on which the base is sitting.
6. Lock Router motor Clamp (A).
7. While continuing to press the Coarse Adjustment Knob (B), turn the Fine
Adjustment Dial (F) until the "0" (zero) mark on the Depth Indicator Ring (E) is
lined up with the "1" mark on base.
8. Release the Coarse Adjustment Knob, making sure that the "0" continues to
line up with the "0" mark.
9. Place the router on two, level, scrap workpieces, positioned side by side with a
space between them so that the cutting bit can be lowered below the sub-base.
10. Turn the Fine Adjustment Dial (F) counterclockwise to lower the bit to the
desired depth of cut. Turn the dial clockwise to raise the cutting bit.
11. Once the depth of cut is set, close the router motor clamp (A) securely.
NOTE: Making a single, deep cut is never advisable. Smaller diameter cutting
bits are easily broken by too much side thrust and torque. Larger cutting bits will
cause a rough cut and be difficult to guide and control. For these reasons, do not
exceed 1/8-in. depth of cut in a single pass.
