DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH PLUNGE
BASE PLUNGING ACTION
The plunge feature simplifies depth adjustments and will allow the cutting bit to easily and accurately enter the workpiece. To lower, loosen lock lever (Fig. 11), and apply downward pressure until you reach desired depth, and tighten lock lever. Loosen lever and release pressure and the router will automatically retract the bit from the workpiece. It is advisable to retract the bit whenever it is not engaged in workpiece.

DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively deeper cuts by starting with the highest step on the depth turret, and after each cut, rotate the depth turret to progressively lower steps as desired, until the final depth (lowest step or flat) is reached. Steps progress by 1/4" increments as follows.
•Both turrets fully engaged 1/2".
•Top turret fully engaged 1/4".
To be certain that your depth settings are as desired, you may want to make test cuts in scrap material before beginning work.
