ADJUSTMENTS
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
CUTTER EXTENDED BELOW SUBBASE
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
■ Position your router so that the cutter can extend below
the subbase for desired depth setting.
See Figure 8.
■ Turn the depth adjusting ring to obtain the desired depth
of cut. The distance the cutter moves can be read on the
depth adjusting ring. Each mark on the depth adjusting
ring indicates 1/64 inch (.4 mm) change in depth setting.
One indicator point is located on front of the motor
housing, the other one is located on the base.
■ Lock clamping lever, securing depth adjusting ring to
motor housing and base.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS WHEN
ROUTER IS MOUNTED TO A ROUTER TABLE
See Figure 9.
The depth of cut is readable from both sides of the depth
adjusting ring. There is a depth indicator ring and indicator
point on both sides of the depth adjusting ring. The bottom
ring is convenient when using your router mounted to a
router table. The indicator point on the base should also be
used when using your router mounted to a router table.
The depth indicator rings are identical parts. Therefore,
when you have your router mounted upside down on a
router table, you set depth of cut by reading the scale
differently. Set the cutter at zero depth of cut, rotate depth
indicator ring to desired depth of cut on the scale, then turn
depth adjusting ring back to zero depth of cut and lock
clamping lever securely.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
See Figure 10.
Your 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 25,000 rpm. There is a six step scale
labeled A thru F on the variable speed control selector. To
increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the
variable speed control selector to a higher setting. Turn to a
lower setting to decrease speed and torque.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control
selector, turn to the highest possible setting F.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diameter of the cutter and the type of
material being routed.
See Figure 10.
PRACTICE BEFORE ACTUAL USE
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature
of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in
wood. Check the following before connecting your router
to power supply:
■ Make sure power supply is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Make sure the spindle lock is in the unlocked position.
■ Make sure the trigger is not in the lock-on position.
