Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. D)

Your router is equipped with a high precision depth adjustment system including a zero reset ring for both the quick adjuster and the fine adjuster.

Quick adjustment using the graduation with zero reset ring

•Loosen the depth stop locking bolt (14).

•Unlock the plunge limiter (15) by turning it counterclockwise.

•Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in contact with the workpiece.

•Tighten the plunge limiter (15).

•Set the quick adjuster (16) to zero using the ring (22). The depth stop (13) must be in contact with the revolver depth stop (12).

•Adjust the depth of cut using the quick adjuster (16) and the corresponding graduation. The adjusted depth of cut is indicated by the arrows (23).

•Tighten the depth stop locking bolt (14).

Triple depth adjustment using the revolver depth stop

The revolver depth stop (12) can be used to set

3 different depths. This is particularly useful for deep cuts, performed in steps.

•Place a depth template between the depth stop (13) and the revolver depth stop (12) to adjust the exact cutting depth.

•If required, set all three screws.

Fine adjustment

When not using a depth template, or if the depth of cut needs readjustment, it is recommended to use the fine adjuster (17).

•Adjust the depth of cut as described above.

•Set the fine adjuster to zero using the ring (24).

•Rotate the fine adjuster (17) to the required position: one turn corresponds to approximately 1 mm and 1 mark to 0.1 mm.

Depth adjustment with router installed in inverted position (fig. D)

•Remove the depth stop (13) and replace it with the depth stop (DE6956) available as an option.

•Connect the threaded rod of the depth stop (13A) to the revolver depth stop (12).

•Set the depth of cut using the adjuster on the depth stop (13A).

For installing the router in inverted position, refer to the relevant instruction manual on the stationary tool.

Fitting the parallel fence (fig. A & E)

•Fit the guide rods (5) to the router base (10).

•Tighten the locking bolts (9).

•Slide the parallel fence (8) over the rods.

•Tighten the locking bolts (4) temporarily.

•Remove the dust extraction adaptor (18) and close the outlet using the dust extraction plug (25) supplied with the tool.

Adjusting the parallel fence (fig. F)

•Draw a cutting line on the material.

•Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in contact with the workpiece.

•Tighten the plunge limiter (15).

•Position the router on the cutting line.

•Slide the parallel fence (8) against the workpiece and tighten the locking bolts (4).

•Adjust the parallel fence (8) using the fine adjuster

(7). The outer cutting edge of the cutter must coincide with the cutting line.

•Firmly tighten the end lock (20).

Fitting a guide bush (fig. G)

Together with a template, guide bushes play a valuable part in cutting and shaping to a pattern.

•Fit the guide bush (26) to the router base (10) using the screws (27) as shown.

Connecting a dust extractor (fig. A & E)

•Connect a dust extractor hose to the dust extraction adaptor (18) in the router carriage column, or to the dust extraction outlet in the parallel fence (6).

•Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

•Always move your router as indicated in fig. H (outer edges/inner edges).
