DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH THE
FIXED BASE (fig 12)
The fixed base is designed with a fine-
adjustment system. When the bit is lowered
to the approximate position desired (coarse
setting), the system can then be micro-
adjusted to the precise depth.
Coarse Adjustment:
Depress the coarse-adjustment button to
quickly lower or raise the cutter bit to an
approximate depth setting.
Fine Adjustments:
The depth-indicator ring located on the fine adjustment dial is marked in 1/256”
(0.1 mm) increments. Turn the fine adjustment dial counter-clockwise 180°
(1/2 turn) to lower the cutter bit 1/32” (0.8 mm). One full turn counter-clockwise
360° (zero “0” to zero “0”) lowers the bit 1/16” (1.6 mm).
The depth-indicator ring may be reset to zero “0” without moving the fine-
adjustment dial. This allows the user to begin adjustments from any reference
point desired.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH THE
PLUNGE BASE PLUNGING ACTION
(fig 13)
The plunge base feature simplifies the
depth adjustments and will allow the
cutter bit to easily and accurately enter
the workpiece.
To lower the cutter bit, release the
plunge-depth locking lever by moving it
“up” to the unlocked position. Use both
hands to apply an even downward pressure on the plunge action until the cutter
bit reaches the desired depth, then move the plunge-depth locking lever “down”
to the locked position.
To raise the bit and the plunge action, unlock the plunge-depth locking lever
and the cutter bit and the plunge action will automatically retract from the
workpiece and return to the raised position.
