Adjusting Depth Of Cut; Coarse/Micro Adjustments - Craftsman 320.2819 Product Manual

WARNING: ALWAYS remove cutting bits from collet/nut when the router
is not being used. Leaving bits installed could result in an accident causing
serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
WARNING: Your router should NEVER BE TURNED ON or be connected
to the power source when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing collets / nuts, cutting bits, cleaning or when it is not in
use. Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental starting, which could
cause serious personal injury.
NOTE: All depth adjustments on the Fixed Base must be made with the mo-
tor clamp open.
NOTE: For all Fixed Base Routers, the cutting bit depth equals the amount of
the cutter that is exposed below the surface of the sub-base.
The fixed base is designed with a micrometer fine adjustment system. When the
bit is lowered to the approximate position desired (coarse setting), the system
then can be micro adjusted to the precise depth.
Coarse Adjustment:
Depressing the Coarse Adjustment Knob (B) allows you to quickly lower or raise
the cutting bit to three depth settings.
Micro Adjustments:
NOTE: Before making fine adjustments, reset zero "0" on Depth Indicator
Ring (E, Fig.5).
The Depth Indicator Ring (E, Fig.5) located on the Fine Adjustment Dial (F, Fig° 5)
is marked incrementally in 64ths. Turning the fine adjustment dial clockwise 180 °
(1/2 turn), lowers the cutting bit 1/16 inch. One full turn clockwise (360 °) zero "0"
to zero "0" lowers the bit 1/8 in.
The Depth Indicator Ring may be reset to zero "0" without moving the Fine Adjust-
ment Dial. This allows the user to begin adjustments from any reference point desired
