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

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 that the power switch is in “OFF” position and the battery is removed to avoid accidental starting of motor which could result in personal injury.
