of special carving.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH FIXED BASE
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB
The fine adjustment knob allows precise bit
height adjustments on your router.
To use the fine adjustment feature, release the
base clamp lever, and turn the knob clockwise
to lower, or counterclockwise to raise the bit
(Fig. 2).
(Note that one full turn of the knob will raise or
lower the bit approximately 1/16" of an inch.)
After making depth adjustments, re-clamp the
motor.
NOTE: All depth adjustments must be made
with the base clamp lever released.
DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then
make several subsequent passes, increasing
the cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
