WARNING!
Before operating your router, follow all safety instructions in this manual. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
Electronic feedback circuitry
The router electronic feedback circuitry monitors and adjusts the power to maintain the desired speed
for consistent performance and control, providing constant speed under load for a high-quality finish in
all materials.
Placing the router onto the workpiece and starting the cut
WARNING!
Before operating the router, follow all safety instructions in this manual. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Making test cuts is essential with most routing applications. Even with careful set-ups you won’t
know exactly how the cut will go until you try it out. A test cut will give a feel for the set-up, the router’s
speed, the depth of cut, and how the cutter bit reacts to the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-and-error
process of making various adjustments, followed by test cuts as you become familiar with all of your
router’s operational abilities. To avoid ruining good material, make your test cuts on scrap materials.
How you place your router onto a workpiece (starting the cut) with a plunge base depends on the type of
routing you are going to produce: edge routing or internal routing, as discussed on the following pages.
For ease of operation and to maintain proper control, your router has two handles, one on each side of the
router base. When operating the router, always hold it firmly with both hands (fig 10).
WARNING!
Always be alert and watch what you are doing. Never operate the router when you are
fatigued.
WARNING!
Always securely clamp your workpiece and keep a firm grip on the router base with both
hands at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss of control, causing possible serious
personal injury.
Electronic variable speed control
NOTICE:
The below chart and all the specifications appearing on the display of the router are only for
reference and for your information.
The electronic speed control feature allows the motor speed to be matched to the cutter size and
material type for an improved finish and extended bit life.
Press “+” or “–” to choose the cutting speed according to the various workpiece materials.
Your router motor top cap has a “Variable Speed Selection Chart” located above the “ON/OFF” toggle
switch to help you determine the correct speed for the cutter bit being used.
WARNING!
Before operating your router, follow all safety instructions in this manual. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Choose the applicable cutting speed according the bit diameter and the material being cut.

Reduce the speed when using extra large bits (1" or more in cutting diameter) or heavy cutting bits.
Changing the router's rate of feed can also improve the quality of the cut.
