SETTING DEPTH OF CUT FOR PLUNGE BASE
ROUTING
See Figures 8 - 9.
The bit depth can be adjusted on the plunge base with a two
way system. The adjustment bar measures bit depth in 1/32
in., while the plunge depth adjustment knob on the plunge
base measures depth cuts in 1/64 in.
The plunge base adjustment knob, located on the base of
the router, and the adjustment bar, located on the side of
the router, make it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in
successive passes. A preset cutting depth is achieved by
plunging the router until the adjustment bar comes in contact
with the plunge base adjustment knob.
The adjustment bar and the plunge base adjustment knob
can be used together to find a “zero” depth of cut, or any
depth of cut setting that is chosen as a starting point for a
particular task.

Unplug the router.
 Place the plunge base on a flat surface or on the
workpiece.
 Loosen the locking arm if needed.
 Loosen the adjustment bar knob.
 Plunge the router to the selected depth, making sure the
adjustment bar contacts the plunge depth adjustment
knob. This will provide a positive stop at “zero” depth of
cut.
 Lock the locking arm if needed.
 Tighten the adjustment bar knob.
NOTE: The depth indicator on the adjustment bar can be
reset by loosening the adjustment bar knob and sliding
the depth indicator to the desired position. Tighten the
adjustment bar knob when depth is set.

WARNING:
Only use router tables with proper guarding
for the bit and with on-board switch controlled
receptacles. Failure to use router tables with
appropriate safety features could result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use with router tables that fail to conform
to safe woodworking practices and offer proper
guarding for the bit. Use router tables that are UL
classified and identified suitable for use with the
specific router model. Failure to comply can result
in an accident causing possible injury.
