ADJUSTING PLUNGE DEPTH

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Loosen the depth rod locking knob (K) Fig. 3, and the depth indicator knob (J), allowing the depth rod (L) to contact one of the turret stops

(M). Normally, the deepest desired cut is set with the depth rod resting on the shortest turret stop (see Fig. 4). The other two fixed stops (S) Fig. 6 provide reduced cutting depths of 1/4" and 1/2" respectively. You can position the three adjustable stops (R) Fig. 4 to any height and can use any combination of fixed and/or adjustable stops to achieve the desired depths required.

2.Release the plunge mechanism by pulling the locking lever (C) Fig. 2 to the left, and lower the plunge mechanism until the router bit touches the work surface. Release the lever and push it to the right to lock the mechanism in position.

3.Tighten the depth-rod locking knob (K) Fig. 3.
