To use the Accu-Stop™ Micro-Adjustable Depth Stop:
 Unplug the router.
 Loosen lock knob and raise stop bar.
 Rotate depth stop until the highest depth stop is aligned
with the stop bar.
 Raise bit by unlocking plunge lock lever.
 Place router on flat surface, and lower router until tip of
bit barely touches flat surface.
 Lock plunge lock lever to position bit at "zero" depth of
cut.
 Lower stop bar against depth stop, then tighten lock knob
securely. The highest stop now becomes the "zero" depth
of cut setting.
SWITCH
See Figure 9.
The router features a soft start which allows for a gradual
increase in speed from 0 r/min. to the variable speed dial
setting. For example, if the router is set at
the time it is switched off and is then activated again, the
motor is designed to gradually rev up to that speed instead
of starting out at the full
To turn the router on, push the switch to the ( I ), or ON
position. Return the switch to the ( O ), or OFF position when
routing operation is finished.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
See Figure 10.
The 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 15,000 to 23,000 r/min. There is a six-step scale
(A to F) on the variable speed control selector. To increase
the speed and torque of the router, turn the variable speed
control selector to a higher setting (F). 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 fea-
ture will not be active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diameter of the bit and the type of
material being routed.
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature of
the router before installing a bit and making cuts in wood.
