_k WARNING: If the co|In Is not s_mty tig_ened,
the cutter may detach dudng use causing serious
personal injury.
_1= WARNING: Do not use cutters with undersized
shanl_s.Undersized shanks will not tighten properly
and could be thrown from the tool causing serious
personal Injury.
_k WARNING: Do not use cutters that are targer in
diameter than the opening in muter base. Use of
such cutters will come in contact with the muter
base and damage both the cutter and the muter
base. This situation could also cause possibleloss
of control or create other hazardous conditions that
could cause possible serious personal injury.
SELECTING DEPTH OF CUT
Proper depth of out depends on several factom: the
horsepower of the muter motor, the type of cutter,and
the type of wood. A lighlweight, low horsepower muter
is designed for making shallow cuts; a muter with higher
horsepower is dsslgned for deeper cuts. Smafl gutters,
such as veiningcutters with 1/16 in. gutting diameters,
are designed to remove only small amounts of wood.
Large cutters, such as straight-flute cutters, remove larger
amounts of wood and make deeper cuts in soft woods,
such as white pine,
Choose a depth of cut that will not place excessive strain
on the muter motor. If you need extra tome or the motor
speed slows down considerably,turn off the router and
reduce the depth of cut. Then make the cut In two or more
passes.
When muting a groove that is too deep to safely cut in
one pass, make the cut in several passes. We recommend
that cuts be made at a depth not exceeding lIB In. and
that several passes be made to reach deeper cuts.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 6 - 8.
• Unplug the muter.
•Ra]se cutter by un]ockingplunge lock lever.
• Adjust hex nuts on threaded post until cutteris inside
router subbase.
• Piece router on a fiat surface,
• Lower muter until tip of cutter barely touches fiat
surface.
• Lock plunge lock lever to position cutter at zero depth
of cuL
• Adjust he>(nuts until they come in contact with stop
flange, This will provide a posit_onstop at zero dap_.hof
cut,
• Make sure the hex nuts are securelytightened against
each other.
