Constant speed cutting - as you
load the router, the selected cutting
speed does not slow down during
normal use. The electronic control
governs the motor and gives you a
consistent finish to your work. Only
under very heavy loading will the
speed of the unit fall below the
governed speed.
To set the router speed (from
8,000 RPM to 24,000 RPM) rotate the
speed control wheel shown in Figure
1. The higher the number the higher
the speed. The numbers on the wheel
are for reference only and do not
indicate any particular speed.
The lower the speed setting, the
slower the router runs. Lower speed
settings may be useful for making fine
cuts in softer materials, where control
of the unit may be of greater
importance.
Router bits larger than 1 /4"
diameter are not recommended when
routing soft woods on the lowest
speed setting.
Operating
Instructions For
The Router
PREPARATION FOR USE
The motor in this router is
relatively high-powered (750 Watts,
max.). Despite this, it is advisable to
cut deep grooves or remove large
amounts of material in two or more
passes.

IMPORTANT NOTE
NEVER TIGHTEN COLLET
NUT IF THERE IS NO CUTTER IN
THE COLLET. COMPRESSING
COLLET TOO MUCH MIGHT
RESULT IN IT BEING DAMAGED.
TO CHANGE COLLET
THE COLLET IS SECURED IN
THE COLLET NUT BY MEANS OF
THE ANNULAR SPRING. A
STRONG PULL WILL RELEASE
THE COLLET FROM THE NUT
THE NEW COLLET SHOULD
THEN BE INSERTED IN THE NUT
AND BE PUSHED IN.
INSTALLING ROUTER BITS
(TURN OFF AND UNPLUG
ROUTER)
To install a router bit, first open
the collet by loosening
(counterclockwise) the collet nut, Use
the supplied wrenches if necessary.
Insert the shaft of the desired bit into
the collet as far as it will go and then
pull it out about 1 /16". Hold the router
shaft with one of the wrenches and
firmly tighten the collet nut with the
other.
Reverse the process to remove
bits. Always be sure to turn off and
unplug the router when installing or
removing bits.
CAUTION; Router Bits Are Sharp
... Use Care In Handling Them.
The front face of the collet must
always be flush with the face of the
nut. If this is not the case, remove the
assembly from the machine and press
the collet into the collet nut so that it is
held by the spring with the faces flush.
SETTING DEPTH OF CUT USING
DEPTH STOP (FIG. 3)
(TURN OFF AND UNPLUG
ROUTER)
Loosen the Depth Bar Clamp
Screw and the Plunge Lock Knob.
Push the router down until the cutter
contacts the workpiece and tighten
the Plunge Lock Knob.
Raise the Depth Stop Bar until the
distance between the lower end of the
bar and the selected screw in the
Turret Stop is equal to the desired
depth of cut. Tighten the Depth Bar
Clamp Screw and loosen the Plunge
Lock Knob. (The tool will spring up.)
The depth of cut will be equal to
the distance between the head of the
bolt on the turret stop and the end of
the depth stop bar. The depth of cut
can be gauged by using the
graduated scale.
