Adjusting the depth
1.
Turn the motor off, and unplug the tool from the power source.
2. Place the router on a flat, level surface, with the back of the fixed base facing
the operator.
3. Loosen the Motor Clamp (A).
4. With the cutter bit already installed, press the Rough-adjustment Knob (B),
and lower the motor into the base until the cutter bit is very close to the flat
surface on which the base is sitting.
5. Turn the Micro-fine Adjustment Dial (C) until the cutter bit “just” touches the
flat surface on which the base is sitting.
6. Tighten the motor clamp.
7. While continuing to press the Rough-adjustment Knob, turn the Micro-fine
Adjustment Dial until the zero “0” mark on the Depth-indicator Ring is lined
up with the “I” mark on the base.
8. Release the Rough-adjustment Knob, making sure that the “0” remains
aligned with the mark.
9. Place the router on two level scrap workpieces, positioned so that the cutter
bit can be lowered below the sub-base.
10. Turn the Micro-fine Adjustment Dial clockwise to lower the bit to the desired
cutting depth. Turn the dial counter-clockwise in order to raise the cutter bit.
11. Once the cutting depth is set, tighten the motor clamp securely.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Making a single deep cut is never advisable. Smaller diameter cut-
ter bits are easily broken by too much lateral thrust and torque. Larger cutter
bits will cause a rough cut, and will be difficult to guide and control. For these
reasons, do not exceed 1/8" cutting depth in a single pass.
