DEPTH CONTROL KNOB ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure34.
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.

1. UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
