VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
This router is equipped with a variable speed control and the speed range is
8,000 to 23,000 RPM.
The speed is adjusted by turning the control knob (L) Fig. 9. The speed control
knob is labeled 1 through 4.The slowest speed (1) is 8,000 RPM, and the
highest speed (4) is 23,000 RPM. Setting 2 is approximately 13,000 RPM and
setting 3 is approximately 18,000 RPM.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

MODEL 7529 is equipped with a current sensing-type overload protector built
into the variable speed control. This device will "trip" and turn the motor off if
it experiences prolonged overloading. To restart the motor, turn off either
switch and turn it back on.

USING THE ROUTER

Periodically wipe columns clean with a dry cloth. DO NOT lubricate columns.
IMPORTANT: Before using your router, consider the kind and total
amount of material to be removed. Depending on the material, more
than one cut may be necessary to avoid overloading the motor. Before
beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a
piece of scrap lumber to show exactly how the cut will look as well as
allowing the dimensions to be checked.
CAUTION: When through-cutting, be sure there is clearance under
workpiece for router bit.
