DEPTH CONTROL KNOB ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 27.
The depth control knob is spring loaded against hex nut to
prevent router motor from accidentally separating from
router base. If depth control knob is tumed too far up
depth adjustment rod, the spring will cause depth control
knob to pop off before hex nut. Do not remove hex nut.
It should remain on depth adjustment rod at all times. This
is especially important when using router upside down on
a router table.
TO REPLACE DEPTH CONTROL KNOB:
• UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router
could result in accidental starting causing serious
injury.
• Turn hex nut counterclockwise until 1/4 in. of threads
are remaining at the top of depth adjustment rod.
• Place compression spring on top of hex nut as shown in
figure 27.
• Place depth control knob on top of compression spdng
and align tabs on depth control knob with flats on hex
nut.
• Carefully compress spring by pushing down on top of
depth control knob.
• With spdng compressed, thread depth control knob
clockwise onto depth adjustment rod.
• Turn depth control knob until desired depth of cut is
reached.
Do not replace depth control knob without compression
spdng.
A
WARNING:
Replacing depth control knob
without compression spring could result in depth
control knob and hex nut vibrating off depth ,
adjustment rod during use. This situation could
cause motor to separate from router base, result-
ing in possible serious personal injury.
