Unintentional restart proof

The tool does not start with the switch trigger pulled 

even when the tool is plugged.

At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows 

the unintentional restart proof device is on function.

To cancel the unintentional restart proof, release the 

switch trigger.

Soft start feature

Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes 

the tool start smoothly.

Constant speed control

Only for model RP2302FC, RP2303FC

Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is 

kept constant even under the loaded condition.

Speed adjusting dial

Only for model RP2302FC, RP2303FC

WARNING:

 

Do not use the speed adjusting 

dial during operation.

 The router bit can be touched 

by the operator because of reaction force. This may 

result in personal injury.

NOTICE:

 

If the tool is operated continuously 

at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get 

overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.

NOTICE:

 

The speed adjusting dial can be turned 

only as far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 

6 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no 

longer work.

The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed 

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

 Speed adjusting dial

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 num-

ber settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.

tool.

 A loose or overtightened router bit can be 

dangerous.

inserting a router bit or install small shank bits 

without using a collet sleeve.

 Either can lead to 

breakage of the collet cone.
