Installing a Plunge Base Parallel Fence with
Guide Rods (Fig.H)
DCW604
A parallel fence with guide rods may be included with your
plunge base unit. A premium parallel fence (model DE6913)
is also available from your local retailer or service centre at
extracost.
1. Attach the guide rods
36
to the plunge routerbase.
2. Attach the thumb screws
37
and springs
38
to thebase.
3. Tighten the thumb screws
37
.
4. Slide the parallel fence
39
over therods.
5. Attach thumb screws
37
and springs
38
to the
parallelfence.
6. Tighten the thumb screws temporarily. Refer to Adjusting
the ParallelFence.
Adjusting the Parallel Fence (Fig.A, H)
Follow the assembly instructions included with the
parallelfence.
1. Draw a cutting line on thematerial.
2. Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in contact with
theworkpiece.
3. Lock the plunge mechanism by releasing the plunge lock
lever
16
4. Position the router on the cutting line. The outer cutting
edge of the cutter must coincide with the cuttingline.
5. Slide the parallel fence
39
against the workpiece and
tighten the thumb screws
37
.
Attaching a Dust Extraction System to the
Fixed Base (Fig.I)
To connect the router to a dust extraction system for dust
collection, follow these steps:
1. Remove the motor unit from the base. Refer to Removing
the Motor from the FixedBase.
2. Attach dust extraction system attachment accessory
29
to the base as shown. Tighten thumb screws
30
securely
byhand.
3. Attach hose adapter to dust extraction system
attachmentaccessory.
4. When using dust extraction system attachment, be aware
of the placement of the dust extraction system. Be sure that
the dust extraction system is stable and that its hose will not
interfere with thework.
Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig.E)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever.
Using excessive force may damage thebase.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not move
in thebase.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without
excessive force or if the motor moves in the base afterclamping.
To adjust the locking lever’s clamping force:
1. Open the locking lever
12
(fixed base) or
40
(plungebase).
2. Using a hex wrench turn locking lever adjustment screw
24
in smallincrements.Turning the screw clockwise tightens
the lever, while turning the screw anticlockwise loosens
thelever.
Centreing the Subbase (Fig.E, F1–F3)
If you need to adjust, change, or replace a subbase, a centreing
tool is recommended. The centreing tool consists of a cone and
apin.
To adjust a subbase, follow the stepsbelow.
Figure F1 shows adjusting the D-shaped subbase on the
fixed base.
Figure F2 shows adjusting the subbase on the plungebase.
Figure F3 shows adjusting the round subbase on the fixed base.
1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws
25
so the
subbase movesfreely.
2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the colletnut.
3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking
lever
12
/
40
on thebase.
4. Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on the
cone until it stops. This will centre thesubbase.
5. While holding down on the cone, tighten the
subbasescrews.
Using Template Guides
The plunge subbase will accept template guides. On the
fixed base, the round subbase will be needed to accept
templateguides.
NOTE: The D-shaped subbase does not accommodate template
guides and is designed to accommodate cutters up to 30mm
indiameter.
To Use Template Guides
1. Install template guide to subbase using two screws and
tightensecurely.
2. Centre the subbase. Refer to Centreing theSubbase.
Installing a Fixed Base Parallel Fence (Fig.G)
A parallel fence (model DE6913) for your fixed base isincluded.
1. Remove the motor from the fixed base. Refer to Removing
the Motor from the FixedBase.
2. Remove flat head screws
27
from storage holes on
parallelfence.
3. Slide parallel fence
26
into parallel fence slot
28
on side
of fixed base. Insert the two flat head screws through the
