Replacing the base

CATION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before removing or installing the base.

Removing the existing base

For Model RP1100/RP1101 (Fig. 1)

Loosen the lock screw. Turn the motor unit counter-

clockwise while holding the base. Turn it until the pin

in the base is disengaged from the groove in the

motor unit. Lift the motor unit free from the base.

For Model RF1100/RF1101 (Fig. 2)

Open the lock lever. Turn the motor unit counterclock-

wise while holding the base. Turn it until the pin in the

base is disengaged from the groove in the motor unit.

Lift the motor unit free from the base.

Installing plunge router base

Place the plunge router base keeping the label front.

Insert the motor unit into the base keeping the cord

left side. (Fig. 3)

Rotate the motor unit clockwise until it stops. Tighten

the lock screw securely. (Fig. 4)

HOW TO USE

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting the depth of cut.

Place the tool on a flat surface. Press the lock lever

down and lower the tool body until the bit just touches

the flat surface. Release the lock lever to hold the tool

body down. Turn the stopper pole setting nut counter-

clockwise to loosen. While pressing the fast-feed but-

ton, lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with

the adjusting hex bolt. Align the depth pointer with the

"0" graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the

scale by the depth pointer. While pressing the fast-

feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired

depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments

can be obtained by turning the adjusting knob

(1.6 mm per turn). After adjusting the depth of cut,

turn the stopper pole setting nut clockwise to fasten

the stopper pole firmly.

Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be

obtained by pressing the lock lever and then lowering

the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact

with the adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.

Nylon nut (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will pro-

trude dangerously.

By turning the nylon nut, the upper limit of the tool

body can be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is

retracted more than required in relation to the base

plate surface, turn the nylon nut to lower the upper

limit.

CAUTION:

• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the

motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of

cut should not be more than 15 mm at a pass when

cutting grooves with an 8 mm diameter bit.

• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit,

the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm at a

pass.

• For extra-deep grooving operation, make two or

three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.

Stopper block (Fig. 7)

The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts

which raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily

obtain three different depths of cut using these

adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper

pole.

Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth

of cut. Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain

shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of

these hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths

of cut.

To adjust the hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on

the hex bolts with the wrench and then turn the hex

bolts. After obtaining the desired position, tighten the

hex nuts while holding the hex bolts in that desired

position.

The stopper block is also convenient for making three

passes with progressively deeper bit settings when

cutting deep grooves.
