WARNING:
Do not exceed more than 1 hash mark in a single
pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of

cutter, lower, jig, and can cause serious personal
injury.

DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 5
The cutter depth can be read on the depth scale on the
motor housing. Do not exceed 0.05" or 1.3 mm. Each
mark on the inch scale indicates a 0.05" change in depth
setting. Use the depth gauge on your Easy-Jig® when
setting the depth of cut.
When the desired depth of cut is reached. Push the
quick release lever to the closed position to lock the
cutter in place.
Before use, always check that the quick release locking
lever nut tension is properly set so that the base does
not accidentally slip while milling, causing the depth of
cut to change, and possible damage to the lower and
cutting tool.
Depth of cut affects the rate of feed speed and
the
quality of a cut. Using the proper depth of cut can
lessen
the possibility of damage to the router motor and
cutter.
A deeper cut requires a slower feed than a shallow
one.
Making a cut that is too deep will slow the feed
so that
the cutter is scraping, rather than cutting,
and is not
recommended.
A too-deep cut can cause chatter and cutters to
be
broken off. Attempting a cut that is too deep will
result in
a rough cut, and may make it difficult
to guide and
control the cutter as desired. Do not
exceed 1 hash mark
depth of cut in a single pass. For
best finish quality, do
not exceed 1/2 hash mark depth
of cut on our Easy-Jig
®
line of jigs. This will result in a
higher quality finish.
OPERATION
CAUTION
:
Failure to properly adjust the locking lever tension
nut can result in the base slipping when using the
router, resulting in property damage and possible
personal injury. Please follow ADJUSTING TOOL
BASE LOCKING LEVER directions on page 6 prior
to using the router.
