Your router has a plunge lock lever that allows for free
plunging. This feature is very useful for table mounted
operations on router tables when used with the optional
depth control knob. Unlocking the plunge lock lever allows
for a smooth, precise plunging action. Once you reach the
desired depth of cut, simply lock the plunge lock lever. The
cutter will then be secured at the desired depth of cut.
WARNING:
Your router should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing cutters or when not in use.
Disconnecting your router will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.

Use your router only for the purposes listed below:
Routing grooves, shaping edges, freehand designs, etc.
in wood.
Chamfering, rebating, dadoing and dovetailing in wood.
Routing edges on laminates.
Your plunge router is a versatile woodworking tool that will
give you years of trouble-free performance. It is engineered
with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows
the amateur to produce work that is beautiful and precise.
As the name implies your plunge router can be used for
making plunge cuts in work pieces, routing grooves, edge
routing, routing circles and freehand routing. When used
with recommended accessories, such as router table, depth
adjustment knob and parallel guide, it becomes even more
versatile. Various types of cutters, both with and without roller
bearings as guides also add to the versatility of this tool.
HEAVY DUTY MOTOR
Your router has a powerful motor with sufficient power to
handle tough routing jobs. It delivers high power for heavy
duty performance.
DEPTH STOP SYSTEM
The adjustable depth stop located on the base of your router
provides precise stops for repetitive depth of cut changes. A
depth adjustment scale makes quick adjustments to depth of
cut changes possible.
SPINDLE LOCK
A spindle lock secures the spindle so that only one wrench
is needed to loosen the collet nut and to change the cutters.
NOTE:
Do not run router with spindle lock engaged.
ON/OFF SWITCH
Your router starts and stops by depressing the on/off switch
located on the handle. Push the switch down to start the router.
Always ensure you are holding the router properly before
depressing the switch to turn the tool on. To turn the router
off, simply depress the switch again.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to
assist you in getting the maximum use from your router. By
making proper speed selections, your router can be adjusted
to specific routing needs. This eliminates much of the guess
work previously needed to perform operations on router tables
when used with the optional depth control knob.
The electronic feature of your router introduces the flexibility
of adjusting the motor speed to required job conditions. An
electronic speed control module senses the load applied
to the motor and increases or decreases motor voltage to
compensate for and maintain desired RPM.
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter diameter
you will be using and to the hardness of the material being
cut. The best cuts are made when the cutter is fed through
material at the proper rate of feed.
PLUNGE LOCK LEVER
After extended use, the plunge lock may wear. If this happens,
you can easily adjust the lever.
