5.5 Starting and Stopping
Grip both of the handles; press the safety catch (2) and then the on/off switch (1).
Release the on/off switch to stop the router.
5.6 Variable Speed
There is a dial (12) on top of the router for adjusting the speed. Bear in mind that
a cutter with a small diameter requires a high speed and vice versa (too high a
speed can produce burn marks).
5.7 Adjusting the Depth Stop
The router has a depth stop with a scale.
It can be raised or lowered to suit the
workpiece and length of cutter using the
adjuster (10). Set the depth stop and lock it
in place using the locking knob (9).
5.8 Setting the Cutting Depth
1. Press and hold down the locking lever
(13) during the entire setting process,
slide the router body along the pillars
until the right height is reached and
then release the locking lever (13).
2. Fine-adjust the depth setting (if
necessary). The fine-adjusting
mechanism consists of a threaded rod
adjusted by the fine-adjustment screw
(14). Fine-adjust as follows:
A. Turn the fine-adjustment screw (14) until it stops (clockwise = downwards)
up to 35 turns (if the whole rod is used).
B. Press and hold down the locking lever (13), make the fine adjustment using
the screw (14) and then release the locking lever (13). One turn of the fine-
adjustment screw (14) is equivalent to 1.5 mm.
C. Turn the fine-adjustment screw (14) anticlockwise until it stops, in order to
return to the previous work setting later (for example if the circular guide is
to be used for the next step in the work process).
Note: If the fine-adjustment screw (14) is screwed all the way down it is not
possible to slide the router body up along the pillars without first undoing the
fine-adjustment screw.
