On/off switch (see figure P)
The soft-start feature minimizes torque twist,
which is customary in router motors, by
limiting the speed at which the motor starts.
This increases the life of the motor.
To start the router, depress and release the
on/off switch once.
To stop the router, depress and release the
on/off switch again.
Always hold the tool and cutter bit away from
the workpiece when turning on the switch.
Only allow the tool and cutter bit to come
into contact with the workpiece after it has
reached full speed.
LED lights (see figure P)
■ The LED light will automatically turn on
when starting the tool, and will turn off
approximately 10 seconds after the tool is
stopped.
■ The LED lights will flash to signal that the
spindle lock is engaged when the On/Off
switch is pressed. Release the spindle lock
and start the tool again.
■ The LED lights will rapidly flash when
the tool and/or battery pack becomes
overloaded or too hot, and the internal
sensors will turn the tool off. Rest the tool
for a while or place the tool and battery
pack separately under air flow to cool them.
■ The LED lights will flash more slowly to
indicate that the battery is at low-battery
capacity. Recharge the battery pack.
General operations
WARNING!
Removing the cutter bit from the workpiece
while it is still rotating could damage the
workpiece and result in loss of control,
causing possibly serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Always clamp the workpiece securely and keep
a firm grip on the tool base with both hands at
all times. Failure to do so could result in loss of
control, causing possibly serious personal injury.
Making test cuts is essential with most routing
applications. A test cut yields information
about the set-up, the speed of the tool, the
cutting depth, and how the cutter bit reacts to
the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-and-
error process of making various adjustments,
followed by test cuts, while learning all of the
tool's operational abilities. To avoid ruining
good material, make test cuts on scrap
material. When operating the tool, always
hold it firmly with both hands to maintain
proper control.
Routing with the edge guide
The edge guide can be used as an aid in
routing applications such as decorative
edging, straight-edge planning and trimming,
grooving, dadoing, and slotting.
Straight routing
a
Loosen the knob and slide the fence
along the arm of the edge guide to the
desired length, then tighten the knob
(see figure Q).
b
Move the tool while keeping the
edge guide flush with the side of the
workpiece (see figure R).
Roundover bits with bearings are excellent
for shaping the edge of any workpiece that
is either straight or curved, if the curvature is
at least as great as the radius of the bit to be
used.
If the distance between the side of the
workpiece and the cutting position is too
wide for the edge guide, or if the side of
the workpiece is not straight, firmly clamp a
straight board to the workpiece and use it as
a guide against the router base. Feed the tool
in the direction of the arrow (see figure S).
Circular routing
The minimum and maximum radius of circles
to be cut (distance between the center of
circle and the center of bit) are 110 mm and
240 mm, respectively.
a
Reassemble the knob and screw on the
edge guide assembly as shown in Fig. T
(smaller radius of cut) or Fig. U (larger radius
of cut).
b
Securely attach the edge guide to the
base.
c
Align the center hole in the edge guide
with the center of the circle to be cut.
Adjust the length of the edge guide.
d
Drive a nail slightly less than 6.5 mm in
diameter into the center hole to secure
the edge guide.
