Setting the Routing Depth (see figure B)

• Place the power tool with a fitted router bit onto the workpiece you want to machine.
• Set the scale for fine adjustment (10) to "0".
• Set the turret stop (8) to the lowest setting; you will feel the turret stop engage.
• Loosen the knurled screw on the depth stop (5) so that the depth stop (3) moves freely.
• Press down the release lever for the plunge action (12) and slowly guide the edge router down until the router bit touches the workpiece surface. Let go of the release lever (12) again in order to lock the plunging depth.
• Push the depth stop (3) down until it sits against the turret stop (8). Set the slide with the index mark (4) to position "0" on the routing depth scale (11).
• Set the depth stop (3) to the required routing depth and tighten the knurled screw (5) for the depth stop. Take care not to accidentally move the index mark (4).
• Press the release lever for the plunge action (12) and guide the edge router to the uppermost position.

The set routing depth is only reached when the depth stop (3) touches the turret stop (8) while plunging.

For larger routing depths, you should perform the cut in several phases, so that only a small amount of material is removed after each cut. By using the turret stop (8), the cutting process can be divided into several steps. For this, adjust the required routing depth to the lowest setting of the turret stop and select the higher settings first for the initial cuts. Each setting step is approx. 3 mm.

After making a test cut, you can set the routing depth to the exact level you require by turning the bushing (9). Turning it clockwise increases the routing depth; turning it anticlockwise decreases the routing depth. The scale (10) can be used for guidance. One rotation corresponds to an adjustment of approx. 1 mm. The maximum possible adjustment is approx. 4 mm. When the plunge base (2) is lowered to the maximum plunge depth, it is not possible to use the fine adjustment to make deeper cuts, as the maximum travel has been utilised. Fine adjustment is also not possible when the depth stop (3) sits against the turret stop (8).

Use the assembly part, for example a hinge, for which the recess is to be routed as a template.

• Set the turret stop (8) to the lowest setting; you will feel the turret stop engage.
• Place the assembly part on the lowest setting step of the turret stop.
• Loosen the knurled screw on the depth stop (5) so that the depth stop (3) moves freely.
• Push the depth stop down until it sits against the assembly part and tighten the knurled screw on the depth stop.
• Remove the assembly part from the turret stop.
