DEPTH STOP (Fig. 8&9)
The depth stop is located on the base of your router and makes
it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in successive passes
by use of the Adjustable Depth Stop System. Alignment marks
make depth of cut changes quick and easy.
A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router until stop
bar comes in contact with depth stop. The micro-adjusting
feature provides alignment marks at each 90˚ rotation of the
depth stop knob. Each 90˚ rotation of the knob changes depth
of cut setting 0.75 mm.
A complete rotation (360˚) of the depth stop knob changes the
depth of cut setting 3 mm.
The Adjustable Depth Stop System provides for depth of cut
changes to be made from 0 to 12 cm from the initial setting
of the stop bar.
This initial setting of the stop bar can be “zero” depth of cut or
it can be any depth of cut setting that you choose as a starting
point for a particular job to be performed.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when using your router. Failure to do so
could result in dust, shavings, chips, loose particles
or foreign objects being thrown in your eyes resulting
in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty,
also wear a face or dust mask.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in
accidental starting causing serious injury.
