Align the lowest step of turret with the depth rod. (Fig. 10) 2. With the bit installed, gently lower the motor until router bit just contacts the level surface the router is sitting on. Release the plunge lock lever, locking the motor at this position. (Fig. 10) 3. Loosen the coarse adjustment lock and lower the depth rod until it contacts the lowest step on the turret. Turn the coarse depth indicator until zero lines up with the reference mark. This is the "zero" position, which indicates the point at which the bit just contacts the workpiece. Release the plunge lock lever and allow the motor to return to its normal position. (Fig. 10) 4. To set the desired total cutting depth, turn the coarse adjustment knob counterclockwise as close as possible to the desired cutting depth, and secure the rod by turning the coarse adjustment lock to the right and press down firmly (Fig. 11). Make any necessary refinements with the fine adjustment knob (Fig. 9). 5. Align the top step of the turret with the depth rod, and make the first cut pass in the workpiece. After each pass, rotate the depth stop turret to the next lower step and make another pass as necessary until the desired final depth is reached. (Fig. 11) The router's Precision Centering Design helps to ensure that each successive pass with follow the same cut as previous passes. To be certain that your depth settings are as desired, you may want to make test cuts in scrap material before beginning work.
