router back to its original position. The depth of 

cut is now set, see “Starting the router” section 

for final operation.

Before  proceeding  carry  out  test  cut  on  waste 

timber.

Method 2: Using the scale method

Fit the router bit, loosen the depth stop bar fixing 

screw and release the plunge lock lever.

Lower  the  router  down  until  it  contacts  the 

workpiece, lock into this position with the plunge 

lock lever. The scale on the depth bar now shows 

the  starting  position.  Note  the  starting  position 

will vary depending on the bit used.

Next  add  the  required  depth  of  the  cut  to  the 

starting  position,  i.e.:  if  the  scale  shows  20mm 

and you require a cut of 10mm, then the correct 

adjustment  on  the  scale  is  20+10=30mm,  if  the 

scale shows 38mm and the required cut is 6mm 

in  depth,  the  adjustment  on  the  scale  will  be 

38+6=44mm.

Now move the depth stop bar to the calculated 

number, and lock bar with the fixing screw.

Release the clamp lock lever, the router will return 

to its original position.

Start Router as described in “Starting the router” 

section below.

Before  proceeding  carry  out  test  cut  on  waste 

timber.

4.  MAKING  FINE  ADJUSTMENT  TO  CUT        

DEPTH

To  make  fine  adjustments,  turn  the  triple  depth 

stop by loosening the centre screw, lift the stop 

and turn to a suitable length screw, release stop 

and tighten centre screw.(Fig9)

Turn the appropriate screw with a screwdriver to 

obtain fine adjustment (Fig10).

Note all three screws can be adjusted, enabling 

you  to  make  different  depth  cuts  on  the  same 

workpiece.

If you wish to make a deep cut it is best to do this 

in 2 or 3 stages. Do not cut more than 10mm depth 

at  a  time  i.e.  If  cutting  30mm  make  3  separate 

10mm cuts. The triple depth stop, can be used for 

this purpose by making small variations in the 3 

positions available.

If you want to make some accurate adjustment, 

micro-  adjustment  can  be  made  by  turning  the 

micro depth adjustment knob (Fig11). A full turn 

is equal to 1mm.
