Your new plunge router comes fully assembled. After removing it from the box, inspect it carefully to make sure that it is
not damaged and that no parts are missing. See Figure 1. The following accessodes should also be included in the box:
1.
15/16 in. Wrench

2.
1/4 in. Adapter
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not
operate your router until the missing parts are
replaced. Failure to do so could result in
possible sedous personal injury.
Your electronic router is a versatile woodworking tool which will give you years of trouble-free performance. It is engi-
neered with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows the amateur to produce work which is beautiful and
precise.
3.5 HORSEPOWER
MOTOR
Your router has a powerful 3.5 horsepower motor with
sufficient power to handle the toughest routing jobs. The
motor also has extemally accessible brushes for ease of
servicing.
SOFT
START
The soft start feature builds motor RPM gradually to
minimize start-up torque. Pressing or releasing the "on-
off" tdgger will turn your router on or off.
DEPTH
CONTROL
KNOB
A large depth control knob makes precise depth of cut
changes possible. It also is very helpful when making
depth of cut changes with your router mounted upside
down on a router table.
DEPTH STOP SYSTEM
The depth stop block located on the base of your router
provides three adjustable stops and three fixed stops for
quick depth of cut changes. A depth adjustment scale
makes quick adjustments to depth of cut changes pos-
sible. The spring loaded adjustment knob quick releases
stop bar by depressing center of knob.
1/4 IN. AND 1/2 IN. SHANK CAPACITY
Your router has a 1/2 in. diameter collet that accepts
cutters with 1/2 in. shanks. A 1/4 in. adapter has been
provided so that cutters with 1/4 in. shank bits can also be
used.
CHIP
SHIELD
A clear plastic see-through chip shield has been provided
on the base of your router for protection against flying
dust and chips. It is designed to fit the front opening of the
router base.
POSILOCK
SPINDLE
LOCK
A posilock spindle lock secures the spindle so that only
one wrench is needed to loosen collet nut and change
cutters. A spindle lock indicator light alerts you that
spindle is locked if you connect router to power supply
before unlocking spindle. Note: Your router will not run if
spindle is locked.
"LOCK-ON"
FEATURE"
Your router is equipped with a "lock-on" feature that is
convenient when continous operation for extended
periods of time is required.
LARGE HANDLES
Your router has large oversized handles for easy handling
and maintaining proper control when routing. The left
handle allows you to set cutter depth of cut when making
plunge cuts, while the right handle provides easy access
to the "on-off" trigger, "lock-on" button, and vadable speed
control selector. The handles have also been designed so
that they are comfortable and easy to grasp when
operating in different positions or at different angles.
VARIABLE
SPEED SWITCH WITH
ELECTRONIC
SPEED CONTROL
(Feedback
Switch)
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 specfic 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.
The variable speed control allows the router speed to be
adjusted from 10,000 to 22,000 rpm. The variable speed
control selelctor is conveniently located inside the dght
handle near the operator's thumb or hand.
The electronic 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
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the
material being cut. The best cuts are made when the
cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of feed.
