
Release spindle lock.

Replace chip shield.
WARNING
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter may
detach during use causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized
shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown
from the tool causing injury.
WARNING
Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter than the
opening in router base. Use of such cutters will come
in contact with the router base and damage both the
cutter and router base. This situation could also cause
possible loss of control or create other hazardous
conditions that could cause possible serious personal
injury.
DEPTH OF CUT
When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in one
pass, it is best to make the cut in several passes.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors such as
horsepower of the router motor, type of cutter being used
and the type of wood being routed. A lightweight, low
horsepower router is designed for making shallow cuts.
A router with high horsepower rating can safely cut deeper.
Cuts can be made deeper in soft woods, such as white
pine, than in tough hardwoods, like oak or maple. Based
upon these considerations, choose a depth of cut that will
not place excessive strain on router motor. If you fi nd that
extra force is needed or that the motor speed slows down
considerably, turn off router and reduce the depth of cut.
Then, make the cut in two or more passes.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 5 - 7.

Loosen the stop bar.

Unlock the plunge lock lever by turning it counter
clockwise.

Lower the router body until the cutter is in contact with
the workpiece.

Lock the depth stop at the right height.

Set the exact depth of cut using the graduation. The
distance between the stop bar and screw of the depth
stop is setting plunge depth.

Tighten the stop bar lock knob to set depth of plunge.
DEPTH STOP
See Figure 8 - 9.

The depth stop can be used to set three different
depths. This is particularly useful for deep cut,
performed in steps.

If required, set all three screws.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
See Figure 10.
Your router has a variable speed control selector designed
to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You can
make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the
material being cut, and the size of bit being used.
The variable speed control selector allows you to adjust
router speed from 14,000 to 31,500 min
-1
. There is a six step
scale on the variable speed control selector. To increase the
speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed
control selector to a higher setting. Turn to a lower setting to
decrease speed and torque.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control
selector, turn it to the highest possible setting, and the
feature will not be active.
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed
feature of your router before installing a cutter and making
cuts in wood.
ZERO RESET INDICATOR
The zero reset indicator allows you to use the scale
provided on the housing to make quick depth of cut
changes to existing depth of cut settings. Choose a
reference point on the scale and slide the zero reset
indicator up or down the scale the distance required
for new depth of cut. Then change stop bar position by
loosening lock knob and adjusting stop bar until red line
on zero reset indicator moves back to reference point.
Tighten the lock knob securely to lock stop bar in new
position. The cutter position will now increase or decrease
the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted.
OPERATION
SWITCH
See Figure 11.
To turn the router on, press the lock-off button and
squeeze the switch. To turn the router off, release both the
switch and lock-off button.
