OPERATION

Note: To adjust the depth of cut when the router is mounted to a router table, unplug the router, loosen the lock lever, turn the depth adjustment knob until the bit reaches the desired depth of cut, and retighten the lock lever.

When the router is mounted to a router table, depth adjust- ments can be made easily by using a T-handle wrench.

To make through table adjustments:

nUnplug the router.

nLoosen the lock lever.

nInsert a T-handle wrench through the hole in the router table into the hole on the subbase, and place the end of the wrench socket over the adjusting nut.

nTurn the wrench counterclockwise to move the collet down or clockwise to move the collet up.

Note: It should not be possible to make depth adjustments with the lock lever tightened. If depth adjustments are possible with the lock lever tightened, an adjustment to the lock lever needs to be made. See Adjustments.

nWhen the desired depth of cut is set, tighten the lock lever.

WARNING:

Do not use with router tables that fail to conform to safe woodworking practices and offer proper guarding for the bit. Use router tables that are UL classified and identified suitable for use with the specific router model. Failure to comply can result in an accident causing possible injury.

WARNING:

Only use router tables with proper guarding for the bit and with on-board switch controlled receptacles. Failure to use router tables with appropriate safety features could result in serious personal injury.
