Question New Freud Table/Router System

Greetings,

Finally, my trusty - but now wobbly - 20 year old home made router table can be retired - RIP! Just got my new Freud table with the FT2200 plunge router. I thought that this might very well be the best place to learn how to take full advantage of me new system - ain't never used a plunge router. Have a 25 year old Craftsman fixed-base router that I intend to keep as a back-up.

My son and I have put it all together and tested it yesterday - it's sweet! We're not too sure about the attachment of the router to the plate. (the instrutions are 'bout the worstest I ever seen . . .)

Should the router be fully plunged and locked before attachment? Should the plunge base be removed first? Is the Micro-Adjustment Depth Control Knob used to adjust the bit when the router is in the table? If not - how can I adjust the bit?

I look forward to hearing from you, and - greetings to y'all from bright and sunny Southern Maryland!
