Electronic Speed Control Dial Setting
The speed is infinitely variable from 8,000 to
32,000 RPM using the electronic speed control
dial (1) for uniform cutting results in all types of
wood, plastics and in aluminium.
■
Turn the electronic speed control dial to the
required level. The dial is lettered from MIN to
MAX and corresponds to router speeds from
11,500 RPM to 32,000 RPM.
It is recommended that the router
speed is set at 24,000 rpm for cutters
up to 30mm diameter.
■
Generally, use the lower settings for large
diameter cutters and the higher settings for small
diameter cutters. The correct setting will also
depend on the density of the material, depth of
cut and feed speed of the router, as severe loss
of rpm denotes motor overload. In most cases
the slowest speed required for large cutters with
smaller shank sizes is 18,000 rpm.
Using the Fine Height Adjuster
The optional fine height adjuster
(Ref. FHA/009)
should be used when fine adjustment is required.
This is especially recommended when using our
dovetail jig or router table.
■
Remove the depth stop and replace it with the
fine height adjuster.
■
Leave the plunge locking grip knob and the
thumb knob loose and thread the end of the
fine height adjuster onto the longest screw.
■
Set the depth of cut by turning the fine height
adjuster handle until the correct height is
reached. Then lock the carriage clockwise
with the plunge locking grip knob.
Remember to always unlock the
carriage by releasing the plunge
locking lever when adjusting the
height with the fine adjuster.
Fixing Points for Accessories
The router has two M6 threaded holes in its base
for fixing the router to a table or various jigs and
accessories.
