ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig 1)
Your ERT241200 Router starts and stops by depressing the
On/Off Switch located on the body of the tool. Push the switch
down to start the Router. It will lock into place, allowing you to
remove your finger while the Router remains in operation.
Always ensure you are holding the Router properly before
depressing the switch to turn the tool on. To turn the Router
off, simply push the switch up.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (Fig 1)
Your Router features variable speed control to greatly increase
the versatility of the tool. This can be used to adjust the
rotational speed of the bit to its size and the material being
worked on.
NOTE: Select high speed for larger router bits and heavy
grained timber. Use lower speed only for very small router
bits and composition board. Do not overload the router
as this may cause motor damage at lower speed.
Speed Setting
The actual speed will depend on the material and other
conditions and is best determined by use on a scrap piece of
material before routing the actual workpiece.
NOTE: Do not run the tool at low speeds for extended
periods without occasionally running at high speed with
no load applied. At lower speeds the fan does not cool the
motor as effectively as it does at high speed and the motor
may overheat.
