just touches the work piece. Turning the ring  
clockwise raises the cutter bit (reduces the  
cutting depth) while turning it counterclockwise  
lowers the cutter bit (increases the cutting  
depth).

4. Turn the depth adjustment scale clockwise until  
the zero mark on the scale lines up with the  
pointer on the depth adjustment ring (Fig. 16).  
5. Turn the depth adjustment ring  
counterclockwise until the pointer lines up  
with desired depth of cut marking on the  
depth adjustment scale (Fig. 17).  
of the motor.  
NOTE: Each mark on the depth adjustment  
scale represents a depth change of 1/64”  
(0.4 mm) and one full (360°) turn of the ring  
changes the depth by 1/2” (12.7 mm).  
Always make several progressively deeper  
cuts. Start at one depth and then make several  
passes, increasing the cutting depth each  
time, until the desired depth is reached.  
6. Close the base lock lever.  
Making a cut that is too deep will put stress on  
the motor and the cutter bit, and it may burn  
the workpiece and dull the cutter bit. It could  
also “grab” too much of the workpiece and  
result in loss of control of the router, causing a  
serious accident.  
NOTICE: Making a single deep cut is never  
advisable. Smaller diameter cutter bits are  
easily broken by too much lateral thrust and  
torque. Larger cutter bits will cause a rough cut  
and will be difficult to guide and control. For  
these reasons, do not exceed 1/8” (3.2 mm)  
cutting depth in a single pass.  
To be certain that the depth settings are  
as desired, always make test cuts in scrap  
material similar to the workpiece before  
beginning the final cut.  
Deep Cuts  
Determining the proper cutting depth (for each  
pass) should always be based on the material,  
the size and type of cutter bit, and the power  
Remember, knowing the right depth for each  
cut comes with routing experience.
