WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields when using
router. Failure to do so could result in dust,
shavings, chips, loose particles, or foreign objects
being thrown in your eyes causing possible
sedous injury. If operation is dusty, also wear a
face or dust mask.
"LOCK-ON"
BUTTON
See Figure 13.
The "on-off" trigger of your muter is equipped with a "lock-
on" feature which is convenient when operating for ex-
tended pedods of time. The "look-on" button is located in
the upper portion of the "on-off"tdgger. It works similar to
a rocker switch. To lock on, fully depress "on-off" tdgger,
then depress 'lock-on" button in top of "on-o_ tdgger and
release. You will feel the "lock-on" button as it snaps "on-
off' tdgger into lock position. To release the lock, depress
protruding portion of the 'lock-on" button.

WARNING:
Before connecting muter to
power supply source, always check to be sure
switch is not in "lock-on" position. Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of your router
causing possible serious injury.
ROUTING
See Figure 14.
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your
router has two handles, one on each side of the router
base. When using your router hold it firmly with both
hands as shown in figure 14.
Before starting router, make sure cutter is securely
tightened in collst nut and that depth of cut is propedy set.
Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed, then
gradually plunge or feed cutter into workpiece. DO NOT let
the cutter contact workpiece before turning on muter and
allowing it to develop full speed.
Remain alert and watch what you are doing. DO NOT
operate muter when fatigued.
FEED DIRECTION
When routing, the cutter rotates clockwise. Therefore, you
should feed the router into the workpiece from left to dght.
When fed from left to dght, the rotation of the cutter pulls
the router against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite
direction, the rotation forces of the spinning bit will tend to
throw the router away from the workpiece. This could
cause loss of control of your router.
RATE OF FEED
IMPORTANT: The whole "secret" of professional muting
and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the
cut to be made and in selecting the proper rate of feed.
The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the
hardness and moisture content of the wood, the depth of

cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting
shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, a faster rate
of feed can be used. When making deep cuts in hard-
woods such as oak, a slower rate of feed will be required.
The best rate of feed is one that does not slow down the
router motor more than one-third of its no-load speed. If
the muter is fed too fast, it will take large chips out of the
wood and leave gouge marks. If the router is fed too slow,
it will scorch or burn the wood.
