OPERATION
subjected to too much side thrust. A larger bit is not as likely
to break, but attempting a cut that is too deep may result in
a rough cut, and may make it difficult to guide and control
the bit as desired.
It is necessary 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 suc-
cessive 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.
SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 13, page 14.
Turn the switch OFF (O) and remove the battery pack
from the router.
Pull the quick release lever to the open position.
Using the micro depth adjustment knob, adjust the
position of the router to obtain the desired depth of cut.
To move the motor housing down, turn the micro depth
adjustment knob toward the "down" arrow to the side of
the knob.
The cutter depth can be read on the depth scale on
the motor housing. Each mark on the scale indicates a
1/64 in. change in depth setting. Use the top edge of the
removable base as reference when setting depth of cut.
Push the quick release lever to the closed position.
WARNING:
Avoid open area of router base. Serious personal injury
will result from contact with a rotating bit.
NOTE: 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.
USING EDGE GUIDE (NOT INCLUDED)
See Figures 14 - 16, page 14.
Use the edge guide to trim or cut a straight or curved edge.
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 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.
ATTACHING THE ROUND SUBBASE (NOT
INCLUDED)
See Figure 16, page 14.
Remove the battery pack.
Turn the router upside down to remove the four subbase
screws and the D-shaped subbase.
Attach the round subbase using the same screws.
Tighten the screws securely. Do not over tighten.
WARNING:
Always use a subbase recommended for use with this
product when trimming. Use of the router without a
subbase or using the incorrect subbase can result in
serious personal injury.
