4. The desired depth of cut may now
be achieved by plunging the router
until the depth rod contacts the
lowest stop on the turret.
▼ ALTERNATE SET-UP FOR DEPTH
ROD AND TURRET
1. An alternative to place a jig of the
desired routing depth (such as a
hinge which needs to be mortised)
on the bottom step of the turret.
2. Next, lower the depth rod until it
contacts the jig.
3. Secure the rod in position by firmly
tightening the depth indicator
knob.
4. Finally, remove the jig.
▼ DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several
progressively deeper cuts by starting
with the highest step on the depth
turret, and after each cut, rotate the
depth turret to progressively lower
steps as desired, until the final depth
(lowest step or flat) is reached. Steps
progress by 1/8" increments.
To be certain that your depth settings
are as desired, you may want to make
test cuts in scrap material before
beginning work.

▼ FINE ADjUSTMENT

The PR111 plunge base is equipped
with a fine adjustment system that
allows you to micro adjust the plunge
Operating Instructions
FIG. 20
▶ Using the Router in the
18
depth of the router bit for superior
routing accuracy.
Each complete revolution of the fine
adjustment knob adjusts the plunging
depth by 1/32", and each of the four
indicator marks
represents 1/128".
To use the fine adjustment knob, once
the depth rod and turret have been
set, check the final depth setting and
fine-adjust as follows:
To micro-increase the plunge depth,
raise the fine adjustment stop by
turning it counter-clockwise by the
desired amount.
To micro-reduce the plunge depth,
lower the fine adjustment stop by
turning it clockwise by the desired
amount.
Notes:
• When micro-adjusting the plunge
depth, it is more convenient to
move the fine adjustment stop up
than down. Before setting the
depth rod and turret, make sure
the fine adjustment stop has been
turned several revolutions down
from its top position so that it can
be adjusted upward.
• The fine adjustment stop cannot be
used to reduce the plunge depth
when the depth rod is already
touching the depth stop turret.
The router must be raised before such
an adjustment can be made.
Plunge Base
Grip both of the plunge base's
gripping handles while operating (see
Fig. 2).
1. Turn the router on
2. Allow router bit to reach the full
speed as set on the dial before
plunging the cutter head into the
workpiece.
3. Press down on the plunge lock
lever to allow it to be plunged.
4. Plunge the router down until the
bit reaches the set depth.
5. Lock the plunge lock lever.
