Adjusting the depth of cut
WARNING!
Your router should never be turned on or be connected to the power source when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing collets/nuts and cutter bits,
cleaning or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental starting,
which could cause serious personal injury.
PLUNGING ACTION
(fig 3)
The plunge base feature simplifies depth
adjustments and allows the cutting bit to be
accurately lowered into the workpiece for more
precise set-ups.
To lower the cutter bit, release the plunge-depth
locking lever by moving it “Up” to the unlocked
position.
Apply an even, downward pressure on the plunge
action until the cutter bit reaches the desired
depth, then move the plunge-depth locking lever “Down” to the locked position.
To raise the bit and the plunge action, unlock the plunge-depth locking lever and the cutter bit. The
plunge action will automatically retract from the workpiece and return to the raised position.
Always have the plunge action in the raised position and locked when the bit is not cutting in the workpiece.

Collet/nut care
WARNING!
Always turn the motor off and unplug the router from the power source before making any
adjustments or installing accessories. Failure to turn the motor off and unplug the router could
result in accidental starting, which can cause serious personal injury.
Before each use, inspect the collet/nut to make sure that it is clean and that it is gripping the cutter bit
properly.
With the router cutter bit removed, turn the collet/nut counterclockwise (with the spindle-lock engaged)
until it is free from the motor’s spindle shaft.
Blow the collet out with compressed air, and clean the tapered inside of the collet/nut with a tissue or
fine brush.
WARNING!
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operations, or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Always make sure that the cutter bit shank, collet/nut and motor spindle are clean and free of
woodchips, dust, residue, grease and rust before installing a cutter bit or collet/nut.
Apply a slight amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
Replace a worn or damaged collet/nut immediately.
NOTICE:
The collet/nut is self-releasing; it is not necessary to strike the collet/nut to free the router
cutter bit. If the cutter bit seems to be stuck after use, loosen the collet/nut a little more until it
releases.
