4.2. USING YOUR ROUTER
When using the router, there are some points to
bear in mind which will ensure that the best results
are achieved.
4.2.1. SWITCHING THE ROUTER ON/OFF
1. Grip the tool with both hands, ensuring the
power on/off switch is in the right hand.
2. Push and hold the safety button, and pull the
trigger switch.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before use.
3. To stop the router, simply release the trigger.
4.2.2. TO PLUNGE THE ROUTER
1. Place router on the workpiece with the cutter in
the position to be cut.
2. Press down on both handles to the required
depth, pushing the bit into the work piece.
• The depth stop should be preset (See "Setting
The Depth Of Cut")
3. Pull the plunge lock lever towards the handle to
lock the body in position.
4. To raise the tool, push the plunge lock lever
away from the handle and allow the body to rise
out of the workpiece.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE TOOL HAS
REACHED OPERATING SPEED BEFORE BE-
GINNING ANY CUTTING OPERATIONS.

4.2.3. ADJUSTING THE SPEED

The tool speed can be adjusted to suit the bit
diameter and the type of material being cut.
Generally, the larger the diameter of the bit, the
slower the tool speed should be.
• Rotate the speed selector wheel to adjust the
speed setting from 1 to 7.
It is advisable to make practice cuts on a piece of
scrap timber to determine the best speed.
