CAUTION:

Make sure that the 4 knobs (connected to the 2 adjustable fences) are securely tightened.

NOTE: Using scrap board that is smooth and true is recommended for making this adjustment.

See Figure 27

1.At the end of the board, use a soft pencil to mark line #1. This indicates the depth of the cut.

2.Then mark line #2, indicating the height of the cut.

3.Place your board so that it is snug against the fence face. The end with lines #1 and #2 should be near the bit.

4.Loosen fence clamping knobs enough so you can move the fence easily. Move fence and board so that the board contacts the outer edge of the router bit at line #1.

5.Tighten fence clamping knobs.

6.Adjust router height so the cutting edge of the bit contacts line #2.

7.Make sure bit is securely tightened in the collet.
