INTERNAL ROUTING WITH THE
PLUNGE BASE (gs 15 and 15a)
1. Set the cutting depth and lock the
plunge action in the raised (Up)
position. Turn the motor “On” and
allow the motor build up to its full
speed (see fig 15).
2. To begin your cut, unlock the plunge
lock lever and gently lower the plunge
action into the workpiece (see fig 15a).
3. When the desired depth-of-cut is
achieved, lock the plunge lock lever
(Down) and proceed to make your cut
(fig 15a).
4. When the cut is completed, turn the
motor “off” and allow the cutter bit
to come to a complete stop before
removing it from the workpiece.
5. When the cutter bit comes to a complete stop, unlock the plunge lock lever
(Up) and the plunge action will automatically retract the cutter bit from the
workpiece.
6. Unplug the router from the power source, place the router on the worktable,
and inspect the finished cut in the workpiece.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
• Always securely clamp your workpiece and keep a firm grip on
the router base with both hands at all times. Failure to do so could
result in loss of control, causing possibly serious personal injury.
• Removing the cutter bit from the workpiece while it is still
rotating could damage the workpiece and result in loss of control,
causing serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Making test cuts in scrap material that is similar to your workpiece
is essential. Learning how the router’s speed, depth-of-cut and cutter bit will
react in the workpiece will help you produce quality cuts.
