4. Lift the motor straight up and out of the base, sliding the motor housing
"slot" (C) free from the pin in the plunge base.
5. Set the motor upside down on its top cap with the collet/nut pointing up, and
remove the cutter bit.
_, WARNING: Always remove the cutter bit from collet/nut when the router is
not being used. Leaving bits installed could result in accidents causing serious
personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE 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 and cutter bits, cleaning or when it is not in use.
Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental starting, which could cause
serious personal injury.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH FIXED BASE (Figs. 6 and 7)
NOTICE: All depth adjustments on
the fixed base must be made with the
motor clamp open.
NOTICE: For all fixed base routers, the
cutter 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 cutter bit to an approximate
depth setting.
Fine Adjustments:
NOTICE: Test the fine adjustment
dial (C) by turning it clockwise and
counter-clockwise to see if the bit
lowers and raises. If it does not, press
in the coarse adjustment knob and
turn the fine adjustment dial until the
gears engage, then reset zero "0" on
depth indicator ring (D).
