See Figure 9.
Fine adjustments can be made to the depth of cut by use of
the depth control knob. Another primary use of the depth
control knob is setting depth of cut when muter is mounted
upside down on a muter table. NOTE: The weight of the
muter plus the awkward position it is in when mounted to a
router table make it necessary to use depth control knob.

DEPTH
STOP
SYSTEM
See Figure 10.
The depth stop block located on the base of your router
makes it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in successive
passes by use of preset depth of cut changes. Both fixed and
adjustable stops are provided, making depth of cut changes
quick and easy. The depth stop block, also known as a
revolving turret, rotates on a ball detent design in the router
base.
A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router until
stop bar comes in contact with the stop screw or fixed stop
on depth stop block.
The fixed stops are approximately 1/8 in. apart. The adjustable
stops have screws that may be adjusted approximately 1/2 in.

TO SET DEPTH STOP BLOCK SETTINGS
1.
UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
2.
Loosen lock knob and turn adjustment knob clockwise,
raising stop bar to it's highest position.
3.
Determine which stop, adjustable or fixed, to use for
the desired depth of cut. A combination of the two
stop types can be used if required for a specific job. If
using the adjustable stops, the stop screw on each
stop can be adjusted to the desired height by loosening
hex nut with the 3/8 in. end of combination wrench
supplied, and turning it in or out with your fingers.
Secure stop screw in position by retightening hex nut
with wrench. Do not overtighten
hex nut. Set stops
to desired heights, spreading the entire depth of cut
over the number of stops used.
4.
Rotate depth stop block until the highest depth stop is
aligned with the stop bar.
