OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
WARNING:
Your router should
never be turned on or be connected to the
power source when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, installing or
removing collets and cutter bits, cleaning
or when it is not in use. Disconnecting
the router will prevent accidental starting,
which could cause serious personal injury.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH
FIXED BASE (FIG. 6)

FIG. 6
Fine-adjustment

Depth-indicator
ring
NOTICE: All depth adjustments on the
xed base must be made with the motor
clamp open.
NOTICE: For xed base routers, the cutter bit
depth equals the amount of the cutter that is
exposed below the surface of the sub-base.
The fixed base is designed with a fine
adjustment system. When the bit is lowered
to the approximate position desired (coarse
setting), the system can then be micro-
adjusted to the precise depth.
COARSE ADJUSTMENT:
Depressing the coarse-adjustment button
allows you to quickly lower or raise the
cutter bit to an approximate depth setting.
FINE ADJUSTMENTS:
The depth-indicator ring located on the
fine-adjustment dial is marked in 1/64”
increments. Turning the fine-adjustment dial
clockwise 180º (1/2 turn), lowers the cutter
bit 1/32”. One full turn clockwise 360° (zero
“0” to zero “0”) lowers the bit 1/16”.
The depth-indicator ring may be reset to zero
“0” without moving the fine-adjustment dial.
This allows the user to begin adjustments
from any chosen reference point.

FIG. 7
1. Disconnect the plug from the power
supply.
2. Place the router on a flat surface with
the back of the fixed base facing you.
Open the motor clamp.
3. With the cutter bit already installed, press
in the coarse-adjustment button and lower
the motor into the base until the cutter bit
is close to the flat surface on which the
base is sitting. Turn the fine-adjustment
dial until the cutter bit “just” touches the
flat surface on which the base is sitting.
Then lock the motor clamp.
4. Place the router on two level pieces of
wood, positioned so that the cutter bit
can be lowered below the sub-base
(FIG. 7).
5. Turn the fine-adjustment dial clockwise
to lower the bit to the desired depth of
cut. Turn the dial counterclockwise to
raise the cutter bit.
6. Once the depth of cut is set, close the
motor clamp securely.
