[. . . ] Check for free plunge with lever rotated to unlocked position. If router does not plunge freely, reposition lever. Your router has a plunge lock lever that allows for free plunging. This feature is very useful for table mounted operations on router tables when used with the optional depth control knob. Unlocking the plunge lock lever allows for a smooth, precise plunging action. Once you reach the desired depth of cut, simply lock the plunge lock lever. The cutter will then be secured at the desired depth of cut. FEATURES Your plunge router is a versatile woodworking tool that will give you years of trouble-free performance. It is engineered with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows the amateur to produce work that is beautiful and precise. As the name implies your plunge router can be used for making plunge cuts in work pieces, routing grooves, edge routing, routing circles and freehand routing. When used with recommended accessories, such as router table, depth adjustment knob and parallel guide, it becomes even more versatile. Various types of cutters, both with and without roller bearings as guides also add to the versatility of this tool. Disconnecting your router will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. ADJUSTMENTS CUTTER INSTALLATION (Fig. 4&5) UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER. WARNING: Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging spindle lock. Lay router down on work bench in order to gain easy access to collet nut . Place the wrench provided through front of router base onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen. WARNING: If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat build up from cutting. Install router bit once collet nut is loose. If changing bits, the bit already installed will easily slip from collet after loosening the collet nut. NOTE: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit bits with 12. 7 mm (1/2") diameter shanks. To use bits with 6. 35 mm ( 1/4") diameter shanks, insert the 6. 35 mm ( 1/4") collet adaptor into the 12. 7 mm (1/2")collet. Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with the wrench provided. [. . . ] Hold the router base against the straight edge and rout the groove. When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the cutter, clamp a straight edge on both sides of the cutlines. Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and rout along the other guide.
