ENGLISH
NOTE: Guide pin grooves
9
are located on either side of
the motor so it can be positioned in twoorientations.
3. Adjust the depth of cut by turning the depth adjustment
ring. Refer to Adjusting the Depth ofCut.
4. Close the locking lever
12
when the desired depth is
achieved. For information on setting the cutting depth, refer
to Adjusting the Depth ofCut.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut (Fig.L)
1. Open the locking lever
12
and turn the depth adjustment
ring
5
until the bit just touches the work piece. Turning
the ring clockwise raises the cutting head while turning it
anticlockwise lowers the cuttinghead.
2. Turn the micro-adjustment scale
11
clockwise until the 0
on the scale lines up with the pointer on the bottom of the
depth adjustmentring.
3. Turn the depth adjustment ring until the pointer lines up
with desired depth of cut marking on the micro-adjustment
scale
11
.
NOTE: Each mark on the adjustment scale represents a
depth change of 0.4 mm and one full (360º) turn of the ring
changes the depth 12.7mm.
4. Close the locking lever
12
to lock thebase.
Removing the Motor from the Fixed Base (Fig.K)
1. Remove the battery pack from the motor. Refer to Installing
and Removing the BatteryPack.
2. Open the locking lever
12
on thebase.
3. Grasp the motor unit with one hand, depressing both quick
release tabs
45
.
4. With the other hand, grasp the base and pull motor from
thebase.
Set-Up: Plunge Base, DCW604 Only
(Fig.A,M)
Inserting the Motor into the Plunge Base
1. Remove the depth adjustment ring
5
from the motor
6
. It
is not used with the plungebase.
NOTE:Snap depth adjustment ring onto fixed base, when
not in use, to preventloss.
2. Open the plunge base locking lever
40
.
3. Making sure the spindle lock button is facing front, insert the
motor
6
into the base by aligning the groove on the motor
with the guide pins
17
on the base. Slide the motor down
until the motor stops on the motor stop
19
.
4. Close the locking lever

Adjusting the Plunge Routing Depth (Fig.M)

WARNING: Laceration hazard. Do not change the
turret stop while the router is running. This will place
your hands too near the cutterhead.

WARNING: To prevent loss of control, ALWAYS
tighten the travel-limiting nuts together. Inadvertent
movement could prevent full bitretraction.

WARNING: To prevent loss of control, set the travel-
limiting nuts so that bit can be retracted into the
base of the router, clear of theworkpiece.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER adjust
or remove the stop nut. Motor can disengage resulting
in loss ofcontrol.

CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging the
cutter head into theworkpiece.
1. Unlock the plunge mechanism by pulling down the plunge
lock lever
16
. Gently push down on the two handes to
plunge the router down as far as it will go, allowing the bit
to just touch theworkpiece.
2. Lock the plunge mechanism by releasing the plunge lock
lever
16
.
3. Loosen the depth adjustment rod
15
by turning the thumb
screw
41
anticlockwise.
4. Slide the depth adjustment rod
15
down so that it meets
the lowest turret stop
14
.
5. Slide the zero adjuster tab
42
on the depth adjustment
rod down so that the top of it meets zero on the depth
adjustment scale
43
.
6. Grasping the top, knurled section of the depth adjustment
rod
15
, slide it up so that the tab
42
aligns with the
desired depth of cut on the depth adjustment scale
43
.
7. Tighten the thumb screw
41
to hold the depth adjustment
rod inplace.
8. Keeping both hands on the handles, unlock the plunge
mechanism by pulling the plunge lock lever
16
down. The
plunge mechanism and the motor will move up. When
the router is plunged, the depth adjustment rod will hit
the turret stop, allowing the router to reach exactly the
desireddepth.
Using the Rotating Turret for Stepped Cuts
(Fig.M)
If the depth of cut required is more than is acceptable in a single
pass, rotate the turret so that depth rod
15
lines up with taller
turret stop initially. After each cut, rotate the turret so that the
depth stop lines up with shorter post until the final depth of cut
isreached.

WARNING: Do not change the turret stop while the
router is running. This will place your hands too near the
cutterhead.
Fine Adjustment of Routing Depth (Fig.M)
The knurled knob
44
at the bottom end of the depth
adjustment rod can be used to make minoradjustments.
1. To decrease the cutting depth, rotate the knob clockwise
(looking down from the top of therouter).
2. To increase the cutting depth, rotate the knob anticlockwise
(looking down from the top of therouter).
NOTE: One complete rotation of the knob results in a change of
about 1 mm indepth.
