onto the motor until the ring is about halfway
between the top and bottom of the motor
as shown. Insert the motor into the base by
aligning the groove on the motor (g) with the
guide pins (r) on the base. Slide the motor down
until the depth adjustment ring snaps into place.
NOTE: Guide pin grooves (g) are located on
either side of the motor so it can be positioned
in two orientations.
3. Adjust the depth of cut by turning the depth
adjustment ring. See Adjusting the Depth of
Cut .
4. Close the locking lever (i) when the desired
depth is achieved. For information on setting
the cutting depth, see
Adjusting the Depth of
Cut .
Set-up: Plunge Base
INSERTING THE MOTOR INTO THE PLUNGE BASE
(FIG. 1, 10)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it
from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before
adjusting or when making repairs.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
1. Remove the depth adjustment ring (b) from the
motor. It is not used with the plunge base.
NOTE: Snap depth adjustment ring onto fixed
base, when not in use, to prevent loss (fig. 10).
2. Insert the motor into the base by aligning the
groove on the motor (g) with the guide pins (r)
on the base. Slide the motor down until the
motor stops on the motor stop (aa).
3. Close the locking lever (i).
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE ROUTING DEPTH (FIG. 11)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it
from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before
adjusting or when making repairs.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
1. Unlock the plunge mechanism by pulling down
the plunge lock lever (p). Plunge the router
down as far as it will go, allowing the cutter (pp)
to just touch the workpiece.
2. Lock the plunge mechanism by releasing the
plunge lock lever (p).
3. Loosen the depth adjustment rod (o) by turning
the thumb screw (bb) counterclockwise.
4. Slide the depth adjustment rod (o) down so that
it meets the lowest turret stop (n).
5. Slide the zero adjuster tab (ee) on the depth
adjustment rod down so that the top of it meets
zero on the depth adjustment scale (dd).
6. Grasping the top, knurled section of the depth
adjustment rod (o), slide it up so that the tab
(ee) aligns with the desired depth of cut on the
depth adjustment scale (dd).
7. Tighten the thumb screw (bb) to hold the depth
adjustment rod in place.
8. Keeping both hands on the handles, unlock the
plunge mechanism by pulling the plunge lock
lever (p) down. The plunge mechanism and the
motor will move up. When the router is plunged,
the depth adjustment rod will hit the turret stop,
allowing the router to reach exactly the desired
depth.
USING THE ROTATING TURRET FOR STEPPED CUTS
(FIG. 11)
If the depth of cut required is more than is
acceptable in a single pass, rotate the turret so that
depth rod (o) lines up with taller turret stop initially.
After each cut, rotate the turret so that the depth
stop lines up with shorter post until the final depth of
cut is reached.
WARNING: Do not change the turret
stop while the router is running. This will
place your hands too near the cutter
head.
FINE ADJUSTMENT OF ROUTING DEPTH (FIG. 11)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it
from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before
adjusting or when making repairs.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The knurled knob (cc) at the bottom end of the
depth adjustment rod can be used to make minor
adjustments.
1. To decrease the cutting depth, rotate the knob
clockwise (looking down from the top of the
router).
2. To increase the cutting depth, rotate the knob
counterclockwise (looking down from the top of
the router).
NOTE: One complete rotation of the knob results in
a change of about 1 mm in depth.
