DeWalt DW615 Manual page 23

• Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in
contact with the workpiece.
• Tighten the plunge limiter (4).
• Set the exact depth of cut using the graduation (2)
or place a depth template between the depth stop
(3) and the revolver depth stop (6). The adjustment
range is indicated by the arrows (14).
• Tighten the depth stop locking bolt (5).
Triple depth adjustment
The revolver depth stop (6) can be used to set three
different depths. This is particularly useful for deep
cuts, performed in steps.
• Place a depth template between the depth stop (3)
and the revolver depth stop (6) to adjust the exact
cutting depth.
• If required, set all three screws.
Depth adjustment with router installed in inverted
position
• Set the depth of cut prior to installing the router
in inverted position.
For installing the router in inverted
position, refer to the relevant instruction
manual on the stationary tool.
A fine depth adjuster (DE6956) is
available as an accessory.
Fitting the parallel fence (fig. A & E)
• Fit the guide rods (15) to the router base (11).
• Tighten the locking bolts (10).
• Slide the parallel fence (16) over the rods.
• Tighten the locking bolts (17) temporarily.
Adjusting the parallel fence (fig. E)
• Draw a cutting line on the material.
• Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in
contact with the workpiece.
• Tighten the plunge limiter (4).
• Position the router on the cutting line. The outer
cutting edge of the cutter must coincide with the
cutting line.
• Slide the parallel fence (16) against the workpiece
and tighten the locking bolts (17).
Fitting a guide bush (fig. F)
Together with a template, guide bushes play a
valuable part in cutting and shaping to a pattern.
18
• Fit the guide bush (18) to the router base (11)
using the screws (19) as shown.
The screws (19) also hold the dust
extraction channel. Never operate the
router without this.
Connecting a dust extractor (fig. A)
Connect a dust extractor hose to the
dust extraction channel (9).
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Always move your router as indicated in
fig. G (outer edges/inner edges).
Prior to operation:
• Check that the cutter is correctly installed in the
collet.
• Set the cutting depth.
• Connect a dust extractor.
• Always make sure the plunge limiter is locked
before switching ON.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
Switch the tool on using the on/off-switch (1).
• I = on. The tool now works continuously.
• O = off.
Loosen the plunge limiter and allow the
router carriage to regain its rest position
before switching off.
Using the guide bushes (fig. F)
• Secure the template to the workpiece using end
clamps.
• Select and install an appropriate guide bush (18).
• Subtract the diameter of the cutter from the outside
diameter of the guide bush and divide by 2. This will
indicate how much larger the template should be in
relation to the part being recessed.
If the workpiece is not thick enough,
place it on a piece of waste wood.
