CENTERING TOOL
The centering tool aligns the subbase with the center of the
collet when reattaching the subbase to the router.

A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of the router
for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield is
designed to fit the opening of the router base.
LED WORKLIGHTS
The LED worklights, located on the bottom of the router
motor, illuminate when the slide switch is on. This provides
extra light for increased visibility.
LIGHTED PLUG
The lighted plug with tool icon helps to easily identify live
tools.
PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB
The plunge depth adjustment knob, located on the base of
the plunge base, provides precise stops for repetitive depth
of cut changes. A depth adjustment scale makes quick ad-
justments to depth of cut changes possible.
SLIDE SWITCH
The slide switch is located on top of the motor housing.
It features a soft start to prolong motor life and gives the
operator more control when starting the router.
SPINDLE LOCK

installing and removing bits.
VACUUM ADAPTORS
The vacuum adaptors attach to the router base for dust free
routing when used in combination with a vacuum.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

from 10,000/min to 23,000/min.
