FEATURES
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic see-through chip shield is installed on the front
of your router for protection against flying dust and chips.
The shield is designed to fit the front opening of the router
base.
See Figure 1.
If necessary to remove chip shield,
squeeze the tabs on each end and pull outward. To replace,
squeeze the tabs at each end, fit into opening, then release.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, DO NOT USE ROUTER
WITHOUT CHIP SHIELD PROPERLY IN PLACE.
SPINDLE LOCK
A spindle lock secures the spindle so that only one wrench
is needed to loosen the collet nut and change cutters. It also
leaves both hands free for changing cutters.
NOTE: Your router will not run if spindle is locked.
ERGONOMIC HANDLES
The handles on your router provide for easy handling and
maintaining proper control when routing.
The handles have also been designed so that they are
comfortable and easy to grasp when operating in different
positions.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to
assist you in getting the maximum use from your router. By
making proper speed selections, your router can be adjusted
to specific routing needs. This eliminates much of the guess
work previously needed to perform a given job. Both the
experienced and inexperienced router users benefit, obtaining
professional like results with fewer job errors.
SOFT START
The soft start feature builds motor RPM gradually to minimize
start-up torque.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed control feature allows the router to
develop a no load speed that can be adjusted from 15,000 to
25,000 RPM. The variable speed control selector is
conveniently located under the end cap on the side of your
router.
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the material
being cut. See the chart in figure 10, on page 11. The best
cuts are made when the cutter is fed through material at the
proper rate of feed.
ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK
The electronic feedback feature of your router introduces the
flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job
conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the
load applied to the motor, and increases or decreases motor
voltage to compensate for and maintain desired RPM.
