Adjusting the Depth of Cut (fi g. D)
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT USING THE GRADUATION AND
REVOLVER DEPTH STOP
1. Loosen the depth stop locking bolt (5).
2 Unlock the plunge limiter (4) by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Lower the router carriage until the cutter is in
contact with the workpiece.
4. Tighten the plunge limiter (4).
5. Set the exact depth of cut using the graduation
(2) or place a depth template between the depth
stop (3) and the revolver depth stop (6). The
adjustment range is indicated by the arrows (14).
6. Tighten the depth stop locking bolt (5).
TRIPLE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The revolver depth stop (6) can be used to set three
different depths. This is particularly useful for deep

(3) and the revolver depth stop (6) to adjust the
exact cutting depth.
2. If required, set all three screws.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH ROUTER INSTALLED IN
INVERTED POSITION
1. Set the depth of cut prior to installing the router

WARNING: For installing the router in
inverted position, refer to the relevant
instruction manual on the stationary tool.
A fine depth adjuster (DE6956) is available as an
accessory.
