(See Fig. 12)
The variable speed control switch allows you to vary the
speed of the router enabling the optimum speed to be
selected for various size of router bits and to avoid the
workpiece being burnt, this can occur especially when
cross cutting. The speed increases as you turn the
switch towards the higher numbers and decreases on
the lower numbers (1 being slowest and MAX fastest).
10. SPEED DiaL
Limit the maximum speed using the speed dial (10).
Turn the speed dial (10) backward to increase the
speed (Fig. a). A higher setting is suitable when
using large diameter router bits or working on hard
materials like wood.
Turn the speed dial (10) forward to decrease the
speed (Fig. b). A lower setting is suitable when
using small diameter router bits or working on soft
materials like plastic or aluminium.
Recommended rotation speed
Material Speed stages
Hardwood (beech) 4 – MAX
Softwood (pine) 5 – MAX
Chipboard 3 – 6
Plastics 3 – 4
Aluminium 1 – 4

may vary according to the actual workpiece.
11. SPEED ConTRoL
1. Increase or decrease the speed of the router,
rotating the dial. The speed increases as the
numbers on the dial increase.
2. Adjust the speed to suit different working
materials. The tool works quicker and smoother at
different speeds when working in different woods.
3. Determine the optimum speed by making a trial
cut in a scrap piece of material.
The setting on the dial equates approximately to
no-load speeds that increase from approximately
11000min
-1
to approximatel 30000min
-1
in 7 steps.
