3. An aluminum Bit Gauge has been provided so that you may record the depth that is most
suitable for your purposes. When optimum height has been achieved, set the edge of
gauge on top of the router collet and score a line at the top of the bit near the mark “R”
for router bit.
4. Tighten the collet, replace the wrenches and Bit Gauge in the proper slots in the white
pallet; and close the Case Top carefully so as not to pinch your hand or fingers. The ma-
chine will not start while the Case Top is open.
5.3 Pilot Drill Depth Adjustment
If you change the web of your pocket, (the distance from the pocket to the edge of the material)
you may need to adjust how far the pilot hole is drilled into the material to ensure you drill all the
way into the pocket.

1. Turn off Air and Electrical power to your machine and raise the Case Top to its fully
opened position.
2. With the wrenches provided in the top of the pallet, loosen the collet on the drill.
3. After the collet has been loosened, move the drill bit in or out of the collet to adjust the
depth of the pilot hole. Pull the bit out of the collet for a deeper pilot hole and push the
drill bit in for a shallower pilot hole. The drill should just break through into the routed
pocket.
4. Once you have found the proper adjustment for your application, place the bottom of the
aluminum Bit Gauge against the top of the drill collet.
5. Use a scoring tool to mark a line of reference across the aluminum gauge.
