Router issue, adjustment not working correctly

So, I was trying to use the router but when trying to adjust the height up, i noticed that the bit was actually going down. It was almost like it was slipping a thread on the screw, but that’s just my amateur assessment, and i’m sure someone would be more knowledgeable about the issue. I ended up deciding to use a dado blade on the table saw for my project instead, but wanted to make sure to post about it here.

Thanks,

The micro adjustment wheel (red wheel) can only adjust so much. It’s not infinite up and down.

Make larger adjustments via key thing with the spring and lower and raise manually to close to desired depth. This is the fastest way

i tried this, but any adjustments seemed to make the bit drop down. Ill try again when im up there next.
