PLUNGE LOCK ACTUATOR ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure25.

The plunge lock actuator has been properly set at the

factory and no initial adjustments should be required.

However, after extended use slight readjustment may be

required. If this situation occurs, make adjustments as

follows:

• UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.

WARNING: Failure to unplug your router

could result in accidental starting causing serious

injury.

• Remove lock handle cover screws and lock handle

cover. See Figure 25.

• NOTE THE LOCATION OF PLUNGE RELEASE

ACTUATOR AND COMPRESSION SPRING IN

HANDLE. Reaeaembly of all parts removed must be

identical In order for plunge lock and plunge release

actuators to function properly,

• Loosen hex nut on bottom of plunge lock actuator with a

7116 in. open end wrench.

• Loosen socket head screw with a 1/8 in. hex key (allen

wrench). This step is needed to make sure screw is not

making contact with rod in base assembly.

• Depress plunge lock actuator until it is flush with handle

as shown in figure 26.

• Continue to hold plunge lock actuator flush with handle,

then turn hex key clockwise until socket head screw

touches base assembly rod. IMPORTANT: Do not over-

tighten screw.

• Make sure hex nut remains loose while tightening socket

head screw.

• Once socket head screw touches base assembly rod,

secure it by tightening hex nut against plunge lock actua-

tor.

• Do not let socket head screw slip or turn while tightening

hex nut.

• Slip compression spring over peg on plunge release

actuator. Then locate tabs on actuator in slide grooves.

Make sure that end of compression spring rests against

wall of stop pocket.

• Carefully replace handle cover and handle cover screws.

Make sure plunge release actuator and compression

spring are properly seated.

• Tighten handle cover screws securely.

When properly adjusted, plunge lock actuator will make

contact with base assembly rod when it is flush with

handle. By squeezing plunge lock actuator past this point,

a friction lock situation occurs. This is what locks your

router at desired depth of cut settings.

The plunge release actuator is spring loaded. When

engaged, it pushes the plunge lock actuator past the flush

point in the opposite direction. This loosens socket head

screw, releasing pressure from rod in base assembly.
