Adjusting Depth of Cut
WARNING!
Disconnect tool from power
source.
There are two methods for adjusting the
depth of cut on the FT3000 Router. The Depth
Adjustment Knob (
A
) is best for non plunging
operations. The Depth Stop Turret (
I
) and Turret
Stop Rod (
D
) is best for operations where there
are repeatable depth settings or two or more
depth settings may be needed.
1)
Depth Adjustment Knob:
–
Fig 9
.
When Plunge Locking Lever (
P
) is released,
the Depth Adjustment Knob (
A
) may be used
to raise and lower the router motor. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the depth of cut
and counter-clockwise to reduce the depth
of cut. Once the desired depth of cut is
reached, push up on the Plunge Locking
Lever
(
P
) to lock the setting. Always
be sure that the Plunge Locking Lever (
P
)
has been released and the Turret Stop Rod
(
D
) cannot hit a stop on the Turret (
I
) before
using the Depth Adjustment Knob (
A
). If
router is mounted in a router table, insert the
Depth Adjustment Wrench (
M
) into the Above
Table Height Adjustment Access (
L
) to raise
and lower the router motor. Turn the wrench
counter-clockwise to increase the depth of
cut and clockwise to reduce the depth of
cut.
Note: The Depth Adjustment Wrench (
M
) can
be inserted into the Depth Adjustment Knob
(
A
) and used to adjust the depth of cut.
2)
Depth Stop Turret and Turret Stop Rod:
–
Fig 10
. The Depth Stop Turret (
I
) and Turret
Stop Rod (
D
) allow you to preset up to three
cut depths. For maximum plunge action, the
Depth Adjustment Knob (
A
) must be turned
counter-clockwise until the motor is at the
top of the rods. For fine adjustment of the
cutting depth, there are three stops attached
to the Depth Stop Turret (
I
) on the Base of
the FT3000. The Depth Stop Turret turns so
that each of the three stops can be
positioned under the Turret Stop Rod (
D
).
The Turret Stop Rod (
D
) has a Course
Adjustment Knob (
F
) that raises or lowers
the Turret Stop Rod to make large
