OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH-STOP TURRET
If you want to make several cuts with a different depth, adjust
each depth stop.
• Unplug the router.
• Loosen the locking screw.
• Set the depth stop turret to the desired setting. Turn clockwise
or counter-clockwise to lower or raise the depth stop turret.
• Tighten the locking screw.
SWITCHING THE ROUTER ON AND OFF (see Fig. 4)
Switching the router on Press the trigger switch (1).
Switching the router off Release the trigger switch.
Continuous operation
To lock the trigger switch on for continuous operation, squeeze
the trigger switch (1) and hold it while depressing the lock-on
button (2). Hold the button while you release the trigger switch;
the tool will continue to run. Squeeze and release the trigger
switch to turn the tool off.

ELECTRONIC SPEED ADJUSTER
The speed of your router is variable (6 variable speeds). Use
the electronic speed adjuster (3) to produce uniform results in
wood, plastics and aluminum. Use lower settings for large diam-
eter bits and higher settings for small diameter bits.
USING THE ROUTER
• Make sure that the material to be cut is securely clamped
and provides sufficient stability to support the router while
it is operating.
• To control the router, keep both hands on the grips.
• Rotate the router counter-clockwise when cutting outside
edges. Rotate it clockwise when cutting inside edges.
• Always hold the router from the front, ensuring that
the chip shield is between yourself and the bit.
• After setting the cutting depth as described, position
the router so that the bit is directly above the point you plan
to cut. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly into
the workpiece. (DO NOT FORCE THE ROUTER DOWN.)
When the tool reaches its pre-set depth, tighten the plunge
release lever. Once you have finished routing, loosen the
plunge release lever and allow the spring to lift the router
directly out of the workpiece.
NOTE: Always feed the workpiece to the router against the di-
rection of the bit's rotation.
FEED SPEED AND RATE OF CUT
Feed rate depends on the material and bit configuration. Expe-
rience is the best guide. Become familiar with the sound and
feel of the router by making practice cuts on scrap materials.
Perform a preliminary adjustment of the speed control, selecting
a higher speed for smaller diameter bits and a lower speed for
larger diameter bits.
The router bit rotates at a very high speed and may heat up,
causing burn marks if the router is moved too slowly through
the wood. Feeding the router too quickly or trying to remove
too much material in a single pass will overload the motor. Use
two or more passes for extra-large cuts, especially in the case
of hardwood.
DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTOR
When employing the dust extraction adaptor, be sure the vac-
uum cleaner is out of the way and properly secured so that it
will not tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The
vacuum hose and power cord must also be positioned so that
they do not interfere with the router or workpiece. If the vacuum
cleaner or vacuum hose cannot be positioned properly, it should
be removed.
• Turn on the vacuum cleaner before turning on the router.
• Empty the vacuum cleaner as necessary.
Straight edge guide for the router (see Fig. 5)
The straight edge guide is an effective aid to cutting a straight
line when chamfering or grooving.
• Loosen the lock bolts.
• Feed the bars on the edge guide through the holes in the
base plate.
• Adjust the distance between the router bit and the edge
guide by moving the guide
until it is situated at
the proper
distance.
• Tighten the lock bolts
to hold the straight edge
guide in position.
