TRIGGER SWITCH AND
“LOCK-ON” BUTTON
Your router can be turned ON or OFF by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. Your router
is also equipped with a “Lock-ON” button
located to the left of trigger that allows
continuous operation without holding the
t
rigger.
TO LOCK SWITCH ON: Squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger (Fig. 2).
TO UNLOCK SWITCH: Squeeze trigger and
release it without depressing the “Lock-ON”
button.
If the “Lock-ON” button
is continuously being
depressed, the trigger cannot be released.
Always make sure that the bit is not touching
the work when turning the switch on or off.
Contact the work with the router after the
router has reached full speed, and remove it
from the work before turning the switch off.
Operating in this manner will prolong switch
and motor life and will greatly increase the
quality of your work.
SOFT START FEATURE
Electronic feedback control minimizes torque
twist customary in larger routers by limiting the
speed at which motor starts.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size and
material hardness for improved finish,
extended bit life, and higher performance.
Speed changes are achieved by rotating the
Speed Control Dial clockwise to decrease
speed, counter-clockwise to increase speed
(Fig. 10). Speed may be changed while tool is
on. The reference numbers on the dial facilitate
re-setting control to desired speed.
The speed chart indicates the relationship
between settings and application. Exact
settings are determined by operator
experience and preference. The bit
manufacturer may also have a speed
recommendation.
CONSTANT RESPONSE™ CIRCUITRY
The router's Constant Response™ Circuitry
monitors and adjusts power to maintain the
desired RPM for consistent performance and
control.
