ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH

WARNING
• Ensure that the router is never turned on or connected to the power source when
assembling parts, making adjustments, or installing or removing collets and cutter bits,
during cleaning, or when it is not in use.
• Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental start-ups, which could cause serious
personal injury.
• The fixed base is designed with an adjustment system. When the bit is lowered to the
approximate desired position (Coarse setting), the system can then be micro-adjusted to the
precise depth.
NOTICE: All depth adjustments on the fixed base must be made with the motor clamp
loosened.
3. Coarse Adjustment:
Depress the coarse-adjustment knob (O) to lower
or raise the cutter bit to an approximate depth
setting.
4. Micro-fine Adjustments:
Be sure that the motor clamp (N) was open and the
motor housing (B) was released before making fine
adjustments.
Check by turning the micro-fine adjustment dial
(K) clockwise and counterclockwise to confirm that
the bit lowers and rises. If it does not, press the
coarse-adjustment knob (O) and turn the micro-fine
adjustment dial until the gears engage, then reset

increments. Turning the micro-fine adjustment dial
one full turn clockwise (360°) – zero "0" to zero "0"
– lowers the bit 1/8 in.
The system allows a maximum of 7 full 360°
clockwise revolutions in order to lower the cutter bit
7/8 in. (22.3 mm).
The depth-indicator ring can be reset to zero "0"
without moving the micro-fine adjustment dial. This
allows the user to begin adjustments from any
desired reference point.
