(See Figure 4) You can either turn the thumb wheel or use the handy
quick release button discussed above.
3. Adjust the depth stop bar to the top of its travel by rotating the depth
stop control knob shown in Figure 9.
4. Rotate the turret stop to position the shortest screw under the depth
stop bar.
5. Raise the plunge release lever and push the router down until the end of
the bit just touches the workpiece.

touches the selected screw in the turret stop.
7. Raise or lower the plastic vernier to align the hairline in the vernier with
the 0 mark on the graduated scale, as shown in Figure 8.
8. Using the depth stop control knob, raise the depth stop bar and align the
desired mark on the graduated scale with the hairline in the vernier, as
shown in Figure 9. (Scale graduated in 1/16ths of an inch)
9. Tighten the depth stop bar clamp.
10.The router is now set to cut to the set depth when plunged into the work-

Fine Adjustment of Routing Depth
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG ROUTER.
If, after setting the desired depth of cut, a small adjustment is needed, it is
not necessary to go through the entire procedure for setting the depth.
Minor adjustment can be easily made by rotating the knurled knob on the
bottom end of the depth stop bar, as shown in Figure 8.
Rotating the knob clockwise (looking down from the top of the router) will
result in a more shallow cut. Rotating the knob counterclockwise will result
in a deeper cut. One complete rotation of the knob represents about 1 mm in
depth adjustment.
