7. To raise or lower the bit, adjust the graduated depth adjusting ring on the router base. It indicates the exact
distance of the bit below the sub-base.
8. Start the motor (see “Starting and Stopping the Motor”), and allow it to reach full speed before beginning the
cut.
9. When the motor has reached full speed, slowly and smoothly pull the carriage so the blade runs through the
workpiece. Keep one hand on the handle at all times. Be careful not to force the bit through the workpiece, to
avoid binding.
10. Once the cut is complete, turn off the motor and wait for the bit to come to a full stop. Move the workpiece
away from the bit. Return the carriage to the top of the guides, and lock the carriage lock.
