TRIPLE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
USING THE REVOLVER DEPTH
STOP (FIG. 5)
WARNING: Do not change the
revolver depth stop while the router
is running. This will place your hands
too near the cutter head.
The revolver depth stop can be used
to set three different depths. This is
useful for deep cuts, performed in steps.
1. Place a depth template between the depth stop and the revolver
depth stop (J) to adjust the exact cutting depth.
2. If required, set all three screws.
FINE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
Use the fine adjustment knob (F) when not using a depth template, or if
the depth of cut needs readjustment.
1. Adjust the depth of cut as described above.
2. Set the fine adjuster to zero using the inner ring. Hold the top portion
while setting the lower ring to zero.
3. Rotate the fine adjuster to the required position. Graduations are on
the top of the fine adjustment knob.

OPERATION

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect tool from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
CAUTION: Before connecting tool to power source, check to
see that the switch is in the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging the cutter head into
the workpiece.
After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the router such
that the bit is directly over the place you will be cutting. With the router
running, lower the unit smoothly down into the workpiece. (DO NOT
JAM THE ROUTER DOWN). When the tool reaches the pre-set depth,
tighten the plunge lock. When you have finished routing, loosen the
plunge lock and let the spring lift the router directly out of the workpiece.
