a. Trigger (On/Off Switch). Used to turn the router On and
Off.
b. Trigger Lock. This locks the power trigger in the On
position.
c. Speed Control. This dial is used to change the motor
speed of the router. The higher the number, the faster the
motor speed.
d. Depth Stop Post Handle. The depth stop post is raised or
lowered with this handle.
e. Plunge Depth Gauge. Indicates the depth of plunge. This
is used in conjunction with the other depth setting
features to determine the depth of plunge.
f. Plunge Depth Pointer. This sliding pointer is used to set
the plunge depth relative to a basepoint setting.
g. Plunge Stop Micro-adjust Knob. The micro adjustment
knob is used to fine tune a depth setting by small
increments.
h. Plunge Lock Knob. This dual action knob acts as an
auxiliary handle for the router, and also clamps the
router in a fixed-plunge position.
i. Depth Post Lock. This lever locks the depth post in
position.
j. Depth Stop Turret. The turret allows for three rapid-
change depth settings based on a single depth stop. Each
position can be adjusted for individual depth.
k. Accessory Latches (2). The accessory latches are used to
secure optional accessories below the base of the router,
such as a template guide.
l. Outrigger Clamping Knob. The clamping knob is used
to secure outrigger accessories to the router base, such as
an edge guide accessory.
m. Dust Collection Port. The removable dust collection port
can be connected to a vacuum system for chip removal.
n. Dust Collection Port Latch. The latch secures the dust
collection port in position.
o. Ratcheting Spindle Lock. The spindle lock stops the
shaft from turning during a bit change. The dual action
lever locks the spindle in one direction and ratchets in the
opposite direction for faster bit changing. Press the lever
on the left to tighten the collet nut, and press it on the
right to loosen the collet net.
