Using the Router (Fig. A, L)

CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging the

cutter head into the workpiece.

CAUTION:

•

Excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor

or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of

cut should not be more than 19/32" (15 mm) at a

pass when cutting grooves with a 5/16" (8 mm)

diameter bit.

•

When cutting grooves with a 25/32" (20 mm)

diamter bit, the depth of cut should not be more

than 3/16" (5 mm) at a pass.

•

For extra deep grooving, make two or three passes

with progressively deeper bit settings.

CAUTION:

•

After long periods of working at low speeds, allow

the machine to cool down by running it for three

minutes at maximum speed, with no load.

All common routing tasks can be performed with the plunge

cut router on all types of wood and plastic:

‑

Grooving

‑

Rabbeting

‑

Recessing

‑

Veining

‑

Profiling

To prevent overload of the tool by using the wrong speed

selection, follow the reccommended settings below:

13/32" ‑ 1‑3/16"

MATERIAL

Hardwood

Softwood

Chipboard Faced

Plastic

nOTE: Only carbide‑tipped cutters should be used on panels

faced with plastic laminates. The hard laminates will quickly

dull steel cutters.

nOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently clean

the columns of dust or debris. If the plunging movement is

not moving as smooth as desired, lubricate the columns with

a dry teflon lubricant.

1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the

router such that the bit is directly over the place you will

be cutting.

2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down

into the workpiece. DO nOT JAM ThE ROUTER DOWn.

3. When the tool reaches the pre‑set depth, push the quick

release button

to lock.

4. When you have finished routing, push the plunge lock

lever

to unlock and let the spring lift the router directly

out of the workpiece.

5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which

the cutter is rotating. Refer to Fig. L.

On/Off Trigger Switch (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from

power source before making any adjustments or

removing/installing attachments or accessories.

An accidental start‑up can cause injury.

1. To turn the unit on, squeeze the on/off trigger switch

Continue to squeeze the trigger switch or press the lock

on button switch

2. To turn the unit off:

a. If lock on trigger is engage, release the lock on button

by squeezing and releasing trigger.

b. If the lock on switch is not engage, fully release

the trigger.

Variable Speed Dial (Fig. A)

WARNING: If the speed control ceases to operate, or

is intermittent, stop using the tool immediately. Take

it to a D

WALT factory or authorized service facility

for repair.

NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to

monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while

cutting. In low and medium speed operation, the speed

control prevents the motor speed from decreasing.

If you expect to hear a speed change and continue

to load the motor, you could damage the motor by

overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the

feed rate to prevent tool damage.

Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed.

Turn the speed dial

to control router speed. The speed is

variable from 9000 to 22000 rpm using the speed dial

1. Turn the speed dial to the required position. The dial is

numbered from 1 –7 and corresponds to router speeds of

9000 rpm to 22000 rpm.

2. Use the slower settings for large diameter cutters and the

faster settings for small diameter cutters.

3. The correct setting will also depend on the density of the

material, depth of cut and feed speed of the router.

nOTE: A noticeable loss of motor rpm means

motor overload.
