ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE BASE
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
1. Loosen the depth rod locking knob (A) Fig. 9, and the depth indicator knob (D), allowing the
depth rod (E) to contact one of the turret stops (B). Normally the deepest desired cut is set with
the depth rod resting on the shortest turret stop (A) Fig. 10. The other two fixed stops (B) Fig. 10
provide reduced cutting depths of 1/4" and 1/2" respectively. You can adjust the three stops (C)
Fig. 10 to any desired height. You can utilize any combination of fixed and/or adjustable stops
to achieve the desired depths required for a particular job.
2. Release the plunge mechanism by pulling the locking lever (B) Fig. 11A to the left. Lower the
plunge mechanism until the router bit touches the work surface. Release the lever and push it
to the right to lock the mechanism in this position.
3. Tighten the depth-rod locking knob.
4. Position the depth indicator (A) Fig. 11B at the "0" position and tighten the knob.
5. Loosen depth-rod locking knob (A) Fig 9. Raise the indicator until it aligns with the gradua-
tion representing the desired depth of plunge. (The example in Fig. 12 shows setting for 1"
plunge.)
6. Turn the lower travel-limiting nut (A) Fig. 12 until it is approximately 1/4" above the top of the
the plunge housing. While holding the lower nut, turn the upper nut (B) until it "jams" against
the lower nut (A) Fig. 12.
Jam the travel-limiting nuts together to prevent movement (caused by vibration)
which could prevent full bit retraction.
Set the travel limiting nuts so that bit can be retracted into the base of the router,
clear of the workpiece.
DO NOT attempt to increase the plunge travel by readjusting the stop nut.
Increasing the travel beyond 2-1/2" can cause the mechanism to jam.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE LOCKING LEVER
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
You can adjust the plunge-locking mechanism to reposition the lever (in the locked position), or to
compensate for wear.
1. While holding the lever in the upright position (Fig. 13), remove the retaining screw. Continue
to hold the lever through the remaining steps.
2. Use an 1/8" hex wrench (A) Fig. 14 (not furnished) to turn the adjustment screw counter-clock-
wise approximately 1/2 turn.
3. Move the lever to the desired locked position and tighten the adjustment screw.
4. Remove the hex wrench and replace the retaining screw.
ATTACHING THE POWER UNIT TO THE "D" HANDLE BASE
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
1. Loosen the clamp screw (A) Fig. 15 to set the power unit in the base unit.
2. With the motor switch (C) Fig. 15 in the "ON" position, insert the motor unit into the base align-
ing the lower pin (B) with the groove in the base.
3. Rotate the motor unit into the base CLOCKWISE until the motor switch (A) Fig. 16 is directly
above the knob handle (B).
4. Connect the motor unit cord to the outlet in handle (C) Fig. 16.
5. Continue rotating the motor unit into the base until upper guide pins set rigidly into base.
6. Tighten the clamp screw firmly.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
1. Loosen the clamp screw (A) Fig. 17.
2. Hold the base (E) and turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 17 counter-clockwise until the tip of the bit is
above the bottom of the base.
3. Set the router on a flat surface.
4. Turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 17 clockwise until bit touches the wood surface.
5. Tighten the clamp screw (A) Fig. 17.
6. Rotate the depth adjusting ring (B) Fig. 17 until the zero-line (C) is opposite the index line (D)
on the housing.
7. Loosen the clamp screw (A) Fig. 17.
8. Tip the router so that the bit is clear of the wood surface. Turn the motor unit (F) Fig. 17 clock-
wise until the index line (D) on the motor housing reaches the desired depth indicated on the
ring.
9. Tighten the clamp screw (A) Fig. 17 firmly.
NOTE: Setting the index line to 1/4" on the ring means the cutting edge of the bit is exposed 1/4"
below the base.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE
Before connecting tool to power source, check to see that the switch is in the
"OFF" position. Also, check the power circuit to see that it is the same as that shown on
specification plate of the tool.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR
Before starting the tool, clear the work area of all foreign objects. Also keep firm
grip on tool to resist starting torque.
To start the tool, move the rocker switch (A) Fig. 18 to the "ON" or "1" position. To stop the tool,
move the rocker switch to the "OFF" or "O" position.
To avoid personal injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow the power
unit to come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR - "D" HANDLE
Before starting the tool, clear the work area of all foreign objects. Also keep a
firm grip on the tool to resist starting torque.
To avoid injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow motor to come to a
COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.
Check to see that the motor unit power cord (D) Fig. 16 is plugged into the handle, and that the
switch (A) on the motor is set to the "ON" position. The starting and stopping of the motor is then

controlled by pressing and releasing the trigger switch (E) Fig. 16 in the handle of the base.
To allow the tool to run without continually pressing the trigger, press the trigger (E) into the handle
and engage the switch locking button (F) on the side of the handle. While holding the button in,
slowly release the trigger. To stop the tool, squeeze the trigger into the handle and release.
To avoid injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow motor to come to a
COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (690LRVS)
This router is equipped with a variable speed control (A) Fig. 19 with an infinite number of speeds
between 10,000 and 27,000 RPM.
Adjust the speed by turning the speed control knob (A), labeled 1 through 4, with 1 being the slowest
speed and 4 being the highest.
USING THE TOOL
Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise secured before making
a cut. When routing the edges, hold the router firmly down and against the work with both
guiding knobs. Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), the router
should be moved from left to right as you stand facing the work.
When working on the inside of a template, move the router in a clockwise direction. When working on
the outside of a template, move the router in a counter- clockwise direction.
Avoid "Climb-Cutting" (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Fig. 20).
"Climb-Cutting" increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When
"Climb-Cutting" is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain
control of router. The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the workpiece. Keep the
cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the router so the motor speed slows excessively.
On exceptionally hard woods or problem materials, more than one pass at various settings
may be necessary to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the end of the piece
across the grain. If chipping of wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the
next cut parallel with the grain. Periodically wipe columns clean with a dry cloth. DO NOT lubricate
the columns.
