I believe this should be covered in your operators manual...

Welcome to the forum, William! Add your first name to your profile to clear the N/a in the side panel. Add your location, as well.

We do like photos so show us your shop, tools, projects, etc. whenever you're ready. What sort of woodworking are you planning or doing with that new router?

Welcome William. Did the suggestion on releasing the lever and pressing the lock button do the trick? I'm a Bosch user which is completely different raising mechanism, but you still have to release the lock for adjusting the height. The DeWalt is well regarded around her. Nice light weight too.
