ROCKER "ON/OFF" SWITCH
Your tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by the
rocker switch located on the motor housing.
One side of the switch is marked "1" for "ON",
and the other side of switch is marked "O" for
"OFF". Also the edge of switch displays red
when switch is in the "ON" position.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON": Push the side
of the switch marked "1".
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF": Push the side
of the switch marked "O'.
Always hold the router off the work when
turning the switch on or off. Contact the work
with the router after the router has reached
full speed, and remove it from the work
before turning the switch off. Operating in this
manner will prolong switch and motor life and
will greatly increase the quality of your work
(Fig. 1).
ROCKER POWER "ON-OFF" WITH
TRIGGER SWITCH AND "LOCK-
ON"BUTTON
(Models 1618 & 1618EVS only)
The power is switched "ON" by the rocker
switch located on the top of the motor
housing as described above. Now your tool
can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or
releasing the trigger. Your tool is also
equipped with "Lock-ON" button located just
above the trigger that allows continuous
operation without holding the trigger (Fig. 2).
TO LOCK SWITCH ON: Squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH: Squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
lf the "Lock-ON" button is
continuously being
depressed, the trigger cannot be released.
On models 1617 & 1618 hold the tool with
both hands while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to
twist.
SOFT START FEATURE
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
Electronic feedback control minimizes torque
twist customary in larger routers by limiting
the speed at which motor starts.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE
SPEED CONTROL
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
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
Control Dial RIGHT to increase speed, 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.
The speed chart indicates the relationship
between settings and application, exact
settings are determined by operator
experience and preference. The bit
manufacturer may also have a speed
recommendation.
