Adjusting The Plunge Routing Depth; Using The Rotating Turret For Stepped Cuts - DeWalt DWP611 Instruction Manual

FIG. 10
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE ROUTING DEPTH (FIG. 11)
1. Unlock the plunge mechanism by pulling down the plunge lock
lever (P). Plunge the router down as far as it will go, allowing the
bit to just touch the workpiece.
2. Lock the plunge mechanism by releasing the plunge lock lever (P).
3. Loosen the depth adjustment rod (O) by turning the thumb screw
(BB) counterclockwise.
4. Slide the depth adjustment rod (O) down so that it meets the
lowest turret stop (N).
5. Slide the zero adjuster tab (EE) on the depth adjustment rod down
so that the top of it meets zero on the depth adjustment scale
(DD).
6. Grasping the top, knurled section of the depth adjustment rod (O),
slide it up so that the tab (EE) aligns with the desired depth of cut
on the depth adjustment scale (DD).
7. Tighten the thumb screw (BB) to hold the depth adjustment rod
in place.
8. Keeping both hands on the handles, unlock the plunge mechanism
by pulling the plunge lock lever (P) down. The plunge mechanism
and the motor will move up. When the router is plunged, the
depth adjustment rod will hit the turret stop, allowing the router to
reach exactly the desired depth.

FIG. 11
USING THE ROTATING TURRET FOR STEPPED CUTS (FIG. 11)
If the depth of cut required is more than is acceptable in a single pass,
rotate the turret so that depth rod (O) lines up with taller turret stop
initially. After each cut, rotate the turret so that the depth stop lines up
with shorter post until the final depth of cut is reached.
WARNING: Do not change the turret stop while the router is
running. This will place your hands too near the cutter head.
