FINE ADJUSTMENT OF ROUTING DEPTH (FIG. 11)
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 5/128” or .04” (1 mm) in depth.
CUTTING WITH THE PLUNGE BASE (FIG. 11)
NOTE:
The depth of cut is locked in the plunge base’s default state.
The plunge lock requires user actuation to enable the “release to lock”
plunge mechanism.
1. Depress the plunge lock lever (P) and plunge the router down until
the bit reaches the set depth.
2. Release the plunge lock lever (P) when desired depth is reached.
NOTE:
Releasing the plunge lock lever automatically locks the
motor in place.
NOTE:
If additional resistance is needed use the hand to depress
the plunge lock lever.
3. Perform the cut.
4. Depressing the plunge lock lever will disable the locking
mechanism allowing the router bit to disengage from the work
piece.
5. Turn the router off.
Operation: All Bases
DIRECTION OF FEED (FIG. 12)
The direction of feed is very important when routing and can make the
difference between a successful job and a ruined project. The figures
show the proper direction of feed for some typical cuts. A general rule
to follow is to move the router in a counterclockwise direction on an
outside cut and a clockwise direction on an inside cut.
Shape the outside edge of a piece of stock by following these
steps:
1. Shape the end grain, left to right
2. Shape the straight grain side moving left to right
3. Cut the other end grain side
4. Finish the remaining straight grain edge

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (ALL UNITS) (FIG. 1)
This router is equipped with a variable speed dial (C) with an infinite
number of speeds between 16,000 and 27,000 RPM. Adjust the
