Adjusting Routing Depth
NOTE: When making deep cuts, especially plunge cuts away from the edge of the work- piece, it is recommended to make several successive cuts progressively deeper using the depth adjustment and depth scale rather than making one single deep cut.
The depth limiter can be adjusted for two depths.
1.Place your Dremel Rotary Tool and Router assembly on the workpiece.
2.Turn the upper adjustment nut upward
and turn the lower adjustment nut down- ward so depth stop is free to move (Fig. 5).

4.Tighten the locking hand grip to lock the tool in place.
5.Press and hold the release button so depth stop touches the router base.
