ADJUSTMENTS
■Lock plunge lock lever to position cutter at "zero" depth of cut.
■Adjust hex nuts until they come in contact with stop flange. This will provide a position stop at “zero” depth of cut.
■Make sure the hex nuts are securely tightened against each other.
■Rotate depth stop to desired position, loosen lock knob and adjust stop bar until it touches depth stop.
■Slide
■Lift stop bar to obtain desired depth of cut. For example, if setting 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) depth of cut, the
■Tighten lock knob securely.
■Position your router so that the cutter can extend below the subbase for desired depth setting. See Figure 7.
■Unlock plunge lock lever.
■Grasp handles and lower router until stop bar con- tacts depth stop.
■Lock plunge lock lever to position cutter at desired depth of cut.
OPTIONAL DEPTH CONTROL KNOB
An optional depth control knob is available and may be purchased for use with your plunge router. We recom- mend its use when your routing needs require precise depth of cut adjustments and when router is mounted upside down on a UL listed router table. NOTE: The weight of the router plus the awkward position it is in when mounted to a router table make it very difficult to set depth of cut simply by turning the hex nut with a 15/16 in. (23.8 mm) wrench. Therefore, we recommend that you purchase and use a depth control knob for situations mentioned above as well as other similar situations.
The optional depth control knob is spring loaded against hex nut to prevent router motor from accidently sepa- rating from router base. If depth control knob is turned too far up depth adjustment rod, the spring will cause depth control knob to pop off before hex nut. Do not remove hex nut. It should remain on depth adjust- ment rod at all times. This is especially important when using router upside down on a router table.
TO INSTALL OPTIONAL DEPTH CONTROL KNOB
See Figure 8.
■UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in acciden- tal starting casuing serious injury.
■Remove upper hex nut from depth adjustment rod. NOTE: This is the only time you should remove the hex nut from the router. Also, if you remove the optional depth control knob for any reason, you must reinsall the hex nut before reusing the router.
■Turn remaining hex nut counterclockwise until 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) of thread is remaining at the top of the depth adjustment rod.
■Place compression spring on top of hex nut as shown in Figure 8.
■Place optional depth control knob on top of com- pression spring and align tabs on depth control knob with flats on hex nut.
■Compress spring by carefully pushing down on top of depth control knob.
■Thread depth control knob clockwise onto depth ad- justment rod.
WARNING:
Relacing optional depth control knob without com- pression spring could result in depth control knob and hex nut vibrating off depth adjustment rod. This situation could cause motor to separate from router base, resulting in possible serious injury.
