SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

!Disconnect power to the machine when perform-

ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire adjust- ment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

The Model H2854 is capable of a wide variety of routing operations. The key to successful use of the Model H2854 is understanding how to proper- ly adjust the tool for maximum performance.

Spindle R.P.M.

Using the correct spindle R.P.M. is critical to achieving the smoothest, safest cuts from your router. The general rule is the larger the diameter router bit, the lower the spindle R.P.M. should be. The Model H2854 is equipped with a speed adjustment dial as shown in Figure 8. Setting “1” is the slowest R.P.M. at 11,000. “6” is the highest R.P.M. setting at 26,000.

Depth Stop

The Model H2854 has a maximum spindle plunge depth of 11⁄2". To set the depth stop:

1.Install the desired router bit into the collet.

2.Without turning the router on, plunge the bit so that it extends below the base plate the same amount as the final depth of cut you desire to make.

3.While holding the desired depth, press the plunge lock lever located on the right back corner of the upper router base as shown in Figure 9. This will lock the router in the pre- sent position. Recheck to make sure the bit is still extending below the base plate the desired amount.

4.Loosen the depth scale lock knob on the front of the upper router base. Let the depth gauge drop down to the shortest peg on the round depth stop turret.
