ADJUSTMENTS.
DEPTH STOP SYSTEM (Continued)
5. Raise cutter by depressing plunge release actuator.
6. Place router on flat surface, and lower router until tip of
cutter barely touches flat surface.
7. Squeeze plunge lock actuator to lock cutter at "zero"
depth of cut.
8. Turn adjustment knob counterclockwise to lower stop
bar against the stop, then tighten lock knob securely.
The highest stop now becomes the "zero" depth of cut
setting.
9. Depress plunge release actuator and raise router. Ro-
tate stop block so that next highest depth stop aligns
with stop bar. This locates cutter for the initial pass.
10. Rotate depth stop block after each pass. Make as
many sucessive passes as needed to obtain desired
depth of cut, progressively Iowedng router to next depth
of cut setting with each pass.
ZERO RESET INDICATOR
See Figure 11.
The zero reset indicator allows you to use the scale provided
on the housing to make quick depth of cut changes to existing
depth of cut settings. Simply choose a reference point on the
scale and slide zero reset indicator up or down scale the
distance required for new depth of cut. Then change stop bar
position by loosening lock knob and turning adjustment knob
until white line on zero reset indicator moves back to refer-
ence point. Tighten lock knob securelyto lock stop bar in new
position. The cutter position will now increase or decrease
the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted.
Remember: Each mark on the inch scale indicates a 1/32
inch change in depth setting while each mark on the metric
scale equals a 1ram change in depth setting; depth control
knob should be used for making precise adjustments todepth
ofcut; and depressing center of depth adjustment knob quick
releases stop bar.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
See Figure 12.
Your router has a variable speed control selector designed to
allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You can
make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the
material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The variable
speed control selector allows you to adjust router speed from
10,000 to 22,000 rpm. There is a six step scale lettered A to
F on the variable speed control selector. To increase the
speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed
control selector to a higher setting.Turn to a lower setting to
decrease speed and torque. NOTE: If you do not want to use
the variable speed control selector, turn to the highest pos-
sible setting, and the feature will not be active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diameter of the cutter and the type of
material being routed.

PRACTICE BEFORE ACTUAL USE
See Figure 12.
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature
of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in
wood.
