Speed Pre-selection
The required speed can be pre-selected with
the thumb-wheel (17) (also whilst running).
1 – 2 = low speed
3 – 4 = medium speed
5 – 6 = high speed
The required speed is dependent on the
material and can be determined by practical
testing.
After longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the machine to cool down by running it
for approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with
no load.

The values shown in the chart are standard
values. The necessary speed depends on the
material and the operating conditions, and can
be determined by practical testing.
Constant Electronic Control and Soft Start
Constant electronic control maintains the
speed constant at no-load and under most
working conditions. Soft start delays the
increase in motor speed to reduce the motor
“kick” or torque effect to improve operator
comfort and safety.
4. SETTING THE DEPTH-OF-CUT
Depending on the cutting operation, the depth-
of cut can be preset in several steps.
WARNING:
The adjustment of the depth-
of-cut may only be carried out when the
router is switched off.
Coarse Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
(See D)
Place the router on the work-piece to be
machined.
Set the fine adjustment for depth-of-cut in the
centre position with fine-adjustment knob (1);
to do this, turn the fine-adjustment knob until
the markings (23) on the backside of the router
are in alignment, as shown. Afterwards turn
scale (2) to “0” (See D). Set Turret Stop (9) to
the lowest position; the Turret Stop snaps-in
noticeably.
Loosen locking screw (7), so that depth stop (6)
can be moved freely.
Release the clamping lever (3) by turning
in clockwise direction and slowly lower the
router until the router bit touches the surface
of the workpiece. Lock the router in position
by turning the clamping lever in anti-clockwise
direction.
Press depth stop downwards until it touches
the Turret Stop (9). Adjust the depth stop (6)
to the required routing depth and tighten the
wing screw (7). Release the clamping lever and
guide the router back up again.
The coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut
should be checked by a trial cut and corrected,
if necessary.
Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
After a trial cut, fine adjustment can be carried
out by turning the fine adjustment knob
(1
scale mark = 0.1 mm/1 rotation = 2.0 mm)
.
The maximum adjustment is approx. +/– 8 mm.
Example:
Slide router upwards again and
measure the depth-of-cut (set value = 10.0 mm;
actual value = 9.8 mm).
Lift up router and underlay guide plate (11) in
such a manner that the router can plunge freely
without the router bit touching the work-piece.
Lower the router again until the depth stop
touches the step buffer (9).
Afterwards set scale (2) to “0”.
Loosen wing screw.
With the fine adjustment (1), advance the
depth-of-cut in clockwise direction by 0.2 mm/
