ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT.

With the appropriate bit installed, proceed as follows:

1. Fit a router bit into the router and place the router on a flat surface.

2. Release the plunge lock lever and 

lower the tool body until the bit 
just touches the surface, then 
apply the plunge lock to lock the 
router in position

3. Slacken the depth stop lock and 

lower the depth stop until the rod 
touches the turret at its lowest 
setting.

• Rotate the turret if required.

4. Make a note of the position 

indicated on the scale.

5. Raise the height of the depth stop 

by the depth you want to cut into 
the workpiece. 

• The scale is marked in mm.

6. Tighten the depth stop lock.

USING THE FINE HEIGHT ADJUSTER

1. Loosen the fine adjustment lock

2. Make the fine adjustments by 

turning the fine height adjuster.

3. Screw the fine adjustment lock 

against the depth stop to prevent 
the fine height adjuster from 
moving due to vibration.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR DIFFICULTY 
CONTROLLING THE TOOL, THE DEPTH OF CUT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO         
5-6 MM IN EACH PASS. IF YOU REQUIRE MORE THAN THIS MAKE SEVERAL 
PASSES WITH PROGRESSIVELY DEEPER SETTINGS.
