Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig. 4)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever. Using excessive force may damage
the base.
When the locking lever is clamped the motor should not move in the base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without excessive force or if the motor
moves in the base after clamping.
To adjust the locking lever’s clamping force:
1. Open the locking lever (I).
2. Using a hex wrench turn locking lever adjustment screw (S) in small increments.
Turning the screw clockwise tightens the lever, while turning the screw counterclockwise
loosens the lever.
Centering the Subbase (Fig. 5)
If you need to adjust, change, or replace the subbase, a centering tool is recommended, refer to
Accessories. The centering tool consists of a cone and a pin.
To adjust the subbase, follow the steps below.
1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws (FF) so the subbase moves freely.
2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the collet nut.
3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking lever on the base.
4. Place the cone on the pin (Fig. 5A) and lightly press down on the cone until it stops as shown
in Figure 5B. This will center the subbase.
5. While holding down on the cone, tighten the subbase screws.
Using Template Guides
The round subbase will accept universal template guides. Recommended accessories for use with
your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.

Set-Up: Fixed Base (Fig. 1, 2)
INSERTING THE MOTOR INTO THE FIXED BASE (FIG. 1, 2, 10)
1. Open the locking lever (I) on the base.
2. If the depth adjustment ring (B) is not on the motor, thread the depth adjustment ring (B) onto
the motor until the ring is about halfway between the top and bottom of the motor as shown.
Insert the motor into the base by aligning the groove on the motor (G) with the guide pins (R)
on the base. Slide the motor down until the depth adjustment ring snaps into place.
NOTE: Guide pin grooves (G) are located on either side of the motor so it can be positioned in
two orientations.
3. Adjust the depth of cut by turning the depth adjustment ring. See Adjusting the Depth of Cut.
4. Close the locking lever (I) when the desired depth is achieved. For information on setting the
cutting depth, see Adjusting the Depth of Cut.
Set-up: Plunge Base (Fig. 1, 10, 11)
INSERTING THE MOTOR INTO THE PLUNGE BASE
1. Remove the depth adjustment ring (B) from the motor. It is not used with the plunge base.
NOTE: Snap depth adjustment ring onto fixed base, when not in use, to prevent loss.
2. Insert the motor into the base by aligning the groove on the motor (G) with the guide pins (R)
on the base. Slide the motor down until the motor stops on the motor stop (AA).
3. Close the locking lever (I).
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE ROUTING DEPTH (FIG. 11)
1. Unlock the plunge mechanism by pulling down the plunge lock lever (P). Plunge the router
down as far as it will go, allowing the bit to just touch the workpiece.
2. Lock the plunge mechanism by releasing the plunge lock lever (P).
3. Loosen the depth adjustment rod (O) by turning the thumb screw (BB) counterclockwise.
4. Slide the depth adjustment rod (O) down so that it meets the lowest turret stop (N).
5. Slide the zero adjuster tab (EE) on the depth adjustment rod down so that the top of it meets
zero on the depth adjustment scale (DD).
6. Grasping the top, knurled section of the depth adjustment rod (O), slide it up so that the tab
(EE) aligns with the desired depth of cut on the depth adjustment scale (DD).
7. Tighten the thumb screw (BB) to hold the depth adjustment rod in place.
8. Keeping both hands on the handles, unlock the plunge mechanism by pulling the plunge lock
lever (P) down. The plunge mechanism and the motor will move up. When the router is plunged,
the depth adjustment rod will hit the turret stop, allowing the router to reach exactly the desired
depth.
USING THE ROTATING TURRET FOR STEPPED CUTS (FIG. 11)
If the depth of cut required is more than is acceptable in a single pass, rotate the turret so that
depth rod (O) lines up with taller turret stop initially. After each cut, rotate the turret so that the depth
stop lines up with shorter post until the final depth of cut is reached.
WARNING: Do not change the turret stop while the router is running. This will place your hands
too near the cutter head.
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.
