Making Edge Cuts, Slots and Dadoes:

To rout the edge of your work-piece to make a slot or dado, you will need to use the router motor

in the plunging/tilting base. If you have the router motor installed in either the palm holding base

or pistol grip base, you will need to remove it from that base. To remove it, flip the locking lever

on the base away from the base and slide the router motor upward out of the base. To install the

router motor into the plunging/tilting base, align the spindle-locking button with the small hoop

at the back of the plunging/tilting base and slide the router motor down into the upper base

housing until it stops. Use the small round locking knob and slide it through the hole in the front

of the upper base and thread it into the threaded hole in the front of the router motor to secure the

router motor firmly in the plunging/tilting base.

To adjust the cutting depth of the router bit, turn the two large handles on the plunging tilting

base counter clockwise to loosen the upper base housing. Sliding the upper base housing upward

and downward on the steel posts controls the depth of cut. Push down on the handles to adjust

the router bit to the desired cutting depth. If you are unable to lower the bit far enough, you may

need to adjust the depth stop rod on the front-right of the upper base housing. Turn the depth stop

rod counterclockwise to raise it. To lock the depth stop rod in position, turn the small round

locking knob downward until it rests against the top of the upper base housing. You may also

need to rotate the three-position depth stop turret located on the lower base housing so that the

depth stop bumper is rotated to the lowest position. Once the router’s bit set to the desired

cutting depth, turn the two large handles clockwise to lock the cutting height in position. If you

want to make the cut in incremental depths, you can loosen and rotate the depth stop rod

clockwise until the depth stop rod is sitting on the lowest step of the depth stop turret. You can

now use the two other depth stop turret positions to control the cutting depth to make

intermediate depth cuts.
