W1736 Overarm Router
If the router is plunged into the pin or
table, the router bit may break apart
sending metal fragments flying toward
the operator. Always adjust the plunge
depth correctly before operating the
overarm router.
Adjusting Plunge Depth
The height adjustment nuts, shown in
Figure 16, limit
how far down the router will plunge when the foot switch
is pressed.
To adjust the height, do these steps:
1. Move the router guard all the way up and temporar-
ily tighten it in place.
2. Loosen the top adjustment nut.
3. Turn both nuts up or down, as needed, and test the
plunge depth by pressing the foot pedal. Repeat this
step until the plunge depth is at the correct height.
4. Tighten the top adjustment nut against the lower
adjustment nut to secure the lower nut in place.
5. Adjust the height of the router guard so it is just
above the workpiece when the head is completely
lowered.
