routing depth, counterclockwise to
decrease the cutting depth. Each
complete rotation of the dial equals
1.25 mm (approximately 3/64").
3.
Turn the clamping knob to the
bottom, locked position
(
E
, Fig.
9). Always make sure the motor
sits tightly in the base.
4.
Check the depth-of-cut and make
an additional fine adjustment if
necessary.
Note:
the depth of the motor and bit

clamping knob is turned to the locked
position.
5.
Make a trial cut to verify that the
router is set to make the cut as
desired.
▼ DEEP CUTS
For
deep
cuts,
make
several
progressively deeper cuts by starting at
one depth and then make several
subsequent passes, increasing the
cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings
are as desired, you may want to make
test cuts in scrap material before
beginning work.
▶ Rocker “On/Off” Switch

“OFF” by the rocker switch located on
the motor housing. One side of the
switch is marked “I” for “ON“, and the
other side of switch is marked “O” for
“OFF“.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON”:
Push the
side of the switch marked “I”.
TO TURN THE TOOL “OFF”:
Push the
side of the switch marked “O”.
▼ SOFT START FEATURE
Electronic feedback control minimizes
torque twist customary in routers by
limiting the speed at which motor
starts.
▼ ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED
CONTROL
The electronic speed control feature
allows motor speed to be matched to
cutter size and material hardness for
improved finish, extended bit life, and
higher performance. Speed changes
are achieved by rotating the Control
Dial RIGHT to increase speed or LEFT
to decrease as indicated on housing
(Fig. 1). Speed may be changed while
tool is on. The reference numbers on
the dial facilitate re-setting control to
desired speed.
