HOW TO USE THE ROUTER

1. Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 4)

(1)Place the tool on a flat wood surface.

(2)Turn the stopper block so that section to which the cutting depth setting screw on stopper block is not attached comes to the bottom of the stopper pole. Loosen wing bolt, allowing the stopper pole to contact with stopper block.

(3)Press the lock lever down and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Release the lock lever to hold the tool body down.

(4)Tighten wing bolt. Align the depth indicator with the “0” graduation.

(5)Loosen wing bolt, and raise until indicator aligns with the graduation representing the desired cutting depth.

(6)Press the lock lever and press the tool body down until the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting

depth.

The two cut-depth setting screws attached to the	Cut Depth
stopper block can be adjusted to simultaneously
set three different cutting depths. Use a wrench	Setting
	Screw
to tighten the nuts so that the cut-depth setting
screws do not come loose at this time.	Fig. 5
3. Upper limiting nuts (Fig. 6)
By turning the upper limiting nuts, the upper limit	Limiting
of the tool body can be adjusted, when the tip of
	Nut (B)
the bit is retracted more than required in relation
to the base plate surface, turn the upper limiting	Limiting
nuts to lower the upper limit.
	Nut (A)

CAUTION: Fig. 6

⬤The upper limiting nut (A) and upper limiting nut (B) must always be “jammed” together to prevent movement (caused by vibration) which could prevent full bit retraction.

⬤The upper limiting nuts must always be set so that bit can be retracted into base of router, clear of work.
