For model RP2300FC,RP2301FC only 

1

  

009865 

 
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed 

adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6. 

Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the 

direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when 

it is turned in the direction of number 1. 

This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum 

material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly 

adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter. 

Refer to the table for the relationship between the 

number settings on the dial and the approximate tool 

speed.

CAUTION: 

• 

Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench 

provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit 

can be dangerous. 

• 

Use always a collet which is suitable for the shank 

diameter of the bit. 

• 

Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit 

or install small shank bits without using a collet 

sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the collet 

cone. 

• 

Use only router bits of which the maximum speed, 

as indicated on the bit, does exceed the maximum 

speed of the router. 

Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the 

shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the 

wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When using 

router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert the 

appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then install 

the bit as described above. 

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in 

reverse.
