KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC ROUTER
8. POWER CONTROL
Press down trigger to start the router. Always ensure you are holding the
router safely and securely before starting the tool. Your router is built
with a lock-on button (Fig. 5). To lock the switch ON, press the trigger all
the way down, press in the lock-on button, and then release the trigger
button. To stop the router, press the trigger until the lock-on button pops
out and then release the trigger.
This router is equipped with a soft start function for safety operation.
When the router is switched on, the motor will slowly speed up until it
reaches the set speed. This gives you time to adjust your grasp on the
handles and gain control of the router.
9. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Press down the spindle lock button (Fig. 6) to lock the spindle when
tightening the collet nut. Make sure to release the spindle lock button
before operation.
10. 1/2" COLLET & NUT ASSEMBLY
The 1/2" collet & nut assembly allows you to easily install router bits
with 1/2 inch shank. Insert the bit and tighten the nut with the included
wrench. Loosen the collet nut to uninstall the bit. To install a 1/4" bit,
first insert the bit into the 1/4" shank adapter and then insert the shank
adapter into the collet & nut assembly. Fully tighten the nut and check
that the router bit is secure before turning on the router.

WHAT YOU NEED:

1. Ensure that the router is locked in its maximum height position (Fig. 2).

NOTE: The dust extraction duct can be installed in either direction but it is
recommended to install with the outlet facing the back side of the router
for easier operation.

stored underneath the base (Fig. 8).
