OPERATION
It is recommended that you do not exceed 1/8 in. depth of
cut in a single pass, regardless of the bit size or the softness
or condition of the workpiece. This will result in a higher
quality cut.
To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as many
successive passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8 in.
for each new pass. To save time, perform all the cutting
necessary at one depth setting, then lower the bit for the
next pass. This will assure uniform depth when the final
pass is completed.
WARNING:
If the desired depth of cut is greater than can be
safely cut in one pass, make cuts in two or more
passes. Do not remove more than 1/8 in. in a single
pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss
of control and the possibility of serious personal
injury.
SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 14, page 14.
 Remove the battery pack.
 P ull the quick release lever to the open position to free
the motor housing in the base.
 Depress and hold the motor release lever.
NOTE: Large depth of cut adjustments can be made
using the motor release lever and positioning the motor
housing by moving it in the base by hand.
 With the desired bit installed into the collet and tightened
securely, slide the motor housing section of the router
upward in the base until the tip of the bit is just above
the work surface (bottom surface of subbase) by 1/4 in.
minimum. Release the motor release lever once the bit
is positioned above the work surface.
 Turn the micro depth adjustment knob slowly clockwise to
lower the bit slowly towards the work surface. The depth
of cut is considered "zero" when the bit just touches the
work surface.
NOTE: To set the zero reset function to zero while the bit
is at zero depth, hold the micro depth adjustment knob in
place and rotate the zero reset function ring until it reads
"0".
NOTE: One full revolution of the micro depth adjust knob
moves the router housing 1/16 in.
 Remove the router from the work surface.
 Using the micro depth adjustment knob, adjust the
position of the bit to obtain the desired depth of cut. To
move the bit down, turn the micro depth adjustment knob
toward the down indicator arrow to the side of the knob.
 Always observe the 1/8 in. MAX depth of cut per pass
rule when cutting.
NOTE: A reference depth scale is located on the motor
housing which can be used to measure depth of cut.
Each mark on the scale indicates a 1/16 in. change in
depth setting. Use the top edge of the removable base
as reference when setting depth of cut.
WARNING:
Avoid open area of router base. Serious personal
injury will result from contact with a rotating bit.
USING EDGE GUIDE
See Figures 15 - 16, page 14.
Use the edge guide to trim or cut a straight or curved edge.
NOTE: To use the edge guide with the vacuum adaptor,
install the adaptor first and then attach the edge guide.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Thread guide bars into the base and tighten with a flat
head screwdriver.
 Slide the edge guide onto the guide bars.
 Install thumb screws provided into the edge guide.
 Measure the proper distance to offset the bit, or if
trimming, position the bit at the edge of the workpiece.
 Tighten the two thumb screws to secure the edge guide.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
 Move the router along the workpiece keeping the edge
guide in constant contact with edge of the workpiece.
