OPERATION
TO START AND STOP ROUTER
CAUTION: Before starting the router make sure bit is clear of
workpiece and foreign objects. Also keep firm grip on router to resist
starting torque.
The router is started and stopped by depressing the rocker switch (A), Fig. 4,
into the ON or OFF position.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to finished work
always allow the motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before
setting it down.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Model 7518 is equipped with an overload protector that will shut motor off if
prolonged overload conditions are encountered.
If the motor stops during use: (1) depress rocker switch (A), Fig. 4, into the
OFF position; (2) determine cause of overload (i.e. dull bit, low voltage,
excessive feed rate, etc.) and correct before continuing; (3) restart router
following the instructions in TO START AND STOP ROUTER.
Model 7519 is equipped with a thermal-type circuit breaker incorporated into
the ON/OFF rocker switch (A), Fig. 4. This circuit breaker will turn the switch
OFF if prolonged overload conditions are encountered.
If the circuit breaker “trips”, switching the motor OFF: (1) determine cause of
the overload (i.e. dull bit, low voltage, excessive feed rate, etc.) and correct
before continuing; (2) allow router to cool for three minutes; and, (3) restart
router following the instructions in TO START AND STOP ROUTER.
SOFT START
Model 7518 and 7519 have a “Soft Start” feature designed to minimize
startup reaction torque.
SPEED CONTROL (Model 7518 only)
The speed control is located as shown in Fig. 4. Five operating speeds from
10,000 RPM to 21,000 RPM are available by moving the speed selector knob
(B), Fig. 4. It is recommended that the speed be set prior to engaging the
router bit into work. Should it be necessary to change the speed after work
has begun, stop router, remove router clear of work, and adjust speed
setting.
