ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT

WARNING: Your router should NEVER BE TURNED ON or be connected to the power source when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing collets/ nuts, cutter bits, cleaning or when it is not

in use. Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental starting, which could cause serious personal injury.

]

NOTE: All depth adjustments on the Fixed Base must be made with the motor clamp open.

I

NOTE: For all Fixed Base Routers, the cutter bit depth equals the amount of the

]

cutter that is exposed below the surface of the subbaseo

The fixed base is designed with a micrometer fine adjustment worm gear system°

When the bit is lowered to the approximate position desired (coarse setting), the system then can be micro adjusted to the precise depth_

Coarse Adjustment:

Depressing the Coarse Adjustment Knob (B) allows you to quickly lower or raise the cutter bit to a larger or approximate depth setting°

Micro Adjustments:

NOTE: Be sure the worm gear system is engaged before making fine

adjustments.Test it by turning the Fine Adjustment Dial (C) clockwise and counter-clockwise to see if the bit lowers and raises. If it does not, press in

the Coarse Adjustment Knob and turn the Fine Adjustment Dial until the gears engage, then reset zero "0" on Depth Indicator Ring (D).

The Depth Indicator Ring (D) located on the Fine Adjustment Dial is marked incremen._a!ly in 64's. Turning the fine adjustment dial clockwise 180 ° (1/2 turn), lowers the cutter bit 1/16-inch. One full turn clockwise (360 °) zero "0" to zero "0" lowers the bit 1/8-in.

The incremental lines between the 64th marks are 1/128'sfor super fine micro adjustments°

The system allows a maximum of 7 full 360 ° revolutions, clockwise, to lower the cutter bit 7/8-in.

The Depth indicator Ring may be reset to zero "0" without moving the fine adjustment dial This allows the user to begin adjustments from any reference point desired°
