Porter-Cable 691, 690LRVS Adjusting Depth of CUT, Adjusting SUB-BASE Alignment All Routers

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3.

2.Hold the base (E) and turn the power unit (F) Fig. 3 COUNTER-CLOCK- WISE until the tip of the bit is above the bottom of the base.

3.Set the tool on a flat surface.

4.Turn the power unit (F) Fig. 3 CLOCKWISE until bit touches the work.

5.Close the clamp (A) Fig. 3.

6.Rotate the depth adjusting ring (B) Fig. 3 until the zero-line (C) is opposite the index line (D) on the housing.

7.Open the clamp (A) Fig. 3.

8.Tip the router so that the bit is clear of the work surface. Turn the power unit (F) Fig. 3 CLOCKWISE until the index line (D) on the motor housing reaches the desired depth indicated on the ring.

9.Close the clamp (A) Fig. 3.

NOTE: Setting the index line to 1/4" on the ring means the cutting edge of the bit is exposed 1/4" below the base.

ADJUSTING SUB-BASE ALIGNMENT (All Routers)

Applications using a templet guide require the bit to be centered in the guide This, in turn, requires the center hole in the sub-base to be in line with the collet of the motor unit. Your model has an adjustable sub-base which has been aligned at the factory. If the sub-base has been removed and/or readjustment is required, use the following procedure:

Be sure power switch is in “OFF” position and tool is disconnected from power source to avoid accidental starting of motor which could result in injury.

1.Loosen the sub-base mount- ing screws (C) Fig. 4 just enough to allow the sub-base

(D) to move.

2.Open the clamp (A) Fig. 4, and adjust the power unit so that the collet nut (B) engages the center hole in the sub-base (D). Allow the sub-base to center itself on the collet nut. Close the clamp (A).

3.Tighten the sub-base mount- ing screws (C) Fig. 4 securely.
