Operation (continued)
WARNING: Before operating the router, always install the appropriate router bit and
adjust the height of the bit. For your safety and to avoid damage, turn the router ON and OFF only
when the router bit is not in contact with the workpiece.
Adjust the bit height and depth of cut (Fig. 18)
The depth of cut affects the rate and quality of the cut. The recommended depth of cut for one pass
is 1/8" (3 mm) and the recommended depth for the final pass is no more than 1/16" (1.5 mm). The
plunge lock lever on the router holds the router at the desired height and depth of cut.
1. Make sure the router table switch is in the OFF position.
2. Release the plunge lever (1) on the router (Fig. 18).
3. Place your hand under the router and push up until the bit is at the desired height.
4. Move the lever to the locked position to set the depth of cut.
Note: See the Plunge Router Instruction manual for more information on working with bits.
Using the starting pin (Fig. 19)
The starting pin is used to pivot a small workpiece. The fence does not need to be used with the
starting pin.
The starting pin (1) fits into a threaded opening (2) on the top of the table near the table insert. Turn
the pin clockwise to insert it into the table. Turn the pin counterclockwise to remove it from the
table.
