ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT OF CUT
(FIG. 26)
1. Select a board that is smooth and straight, with good
square edges.
2. Mark lines "A" and "B" on the end of the board, as
shown in Detail 26.
• Line "A" indicates the desired height of cut.
• Line "B" indicates the desired final depth of cut.
The area outlined by "A," "B," and the edge of the
board is the area that will be cut away.
3. Following the instructions that came with your router,
adjust the router height of cut until the top of the
router bit lines up with line "A."
4. If the desired depth of cut can be cut in a single pass,
loosen the fence clamping knobs and move the fence
forward or backward until the outermost cutting edge
of the router bit is aligned with line "B." It may be
necessary to reposition the guard to provide
clear access.
NOTE: For deeper cuts, do NOT attempt to make the
cut in a single pass. Make multiple shallower passes,
progressively moving the fence backward until the
desired depth of cut is reached.
5. Use the scales on the tabletop as a guide to align
the fence; then SECURELY tighten both fence
clamping knobs.
A WARNING I
Always make sure that the fence
and guard cannot come in contact
with the router bit. Failure to do so will result in damage
to the router table and can cause personal injury.
6. Once all adjustments have been made, double-check
that:
The router is SECURELY tightened in the router
base.
The router bit is SECURELY tightened in the router
collet, with at least 3/4 in. shank engagement.
The router base is SECURELY tightened to the
router mounting plate.
7. Remove the board from the table.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use a piece of
scrap wood to make trial cuts before making the cut
with the actual workpiece.
