Preparation For Use - DeWalt DW625 Instruction Manual

This is a professional power tool. DO NOT let children come into
contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced
operators use this tool.
The electronic motor control system has two basic features.
A. Soft start - When you turn on the router, you will notice that it
does not have the jerk from the rapid acceleration of the motor.
This router has a starting circuit which accelerates the motor up
to speed smoothly, without jerking, and allows you to maintain
easier control of the router during the start up period.
B. Constant speed cutting - As you load the router, the selected
cutting speed does not slow down during normal use. The
electronic control governs the motor and gives you a consistent
finish to your work. Only under very heavy loading will the speed
of the unit fall below the governed speed.
To set the router speed (from 8,000 rpm to 20,000 rpm) rotate
the speed control wheel (A) shown in Figure 1. The higher the
number the higher the speed. Consult TABLE 1 below to help
select the proper speed for your application.

safety or performance. If you are unsure of the proper speed or are
experiencing any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not operate tools rated "AC only" on a DC
supply. Loss of speed control may result, causing tool damage
and possible hazard to the operator.
WARNING: If the speed control ceases to operate, or is
intermittent, stop using the tool immediately. Take it to a D
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.

PREPARATION FOR USE

The motor in this router is high-powered (750 Watts, max.). Despite
this, it is advisable to cut deep grooves or remove large amounts of
material in two or more passes.

OPERATION (Fig. 1, 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Before connecting tool to power source, check
to see that the switch is in the "OFF" position. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
