of cutter barely touches flat surface.
Lock plunge lock lever to position cutter at "zero"
depth of cut.
Lower stop bar against depth stop, then tighten lock
knob securely. The highest stop now becomes the
"zero" depth of cut setting.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR

(FIG. 10)
Your router has a variable speed control selector (2) designed
to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You
can make speed selections best suited to the type of cut,
the material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The
variable speed control selector allows you to adjust
router speed from 15000 to 30000 min
step scale (A to F) on the variable speed control selector.
To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the
variable speed control selector to a higher setting (F).
Turn to a lower setting to decrease speed and torque.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed
control selector, turn it to the highest possible setting,
and the feature will not be active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diameter of the cutter and the type
of material being routed.
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed
feature of your router before installing a cutter and
making cuts in wood.

ZERO RESET INDICATOR

The zero reset indicator allows you to use the scale
provided on the housing to make quick depth of cut
changes to existing depth of cut settings. Simply choose
a reference point on the scale and slide the zero reset
indicator up or down the scale the distance required for
new depth of cut. Then change stop bar position by
loosening lock knob and adjusting stop bar until red line
on zero reset indicator moves back to reference point.
Tighten lock knob securely to lock stop bar in new
position. The cutter position will now increase or decrease
A
the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted.

squeeze the switch (15). OFF, release both the switch &
lock-off button.
ROUTING (FIG. 12)
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control,
your router has two handles (3), one on each side of the
router base. When using your router hold it firmly with
both hands.
Before starting the router, unplug it and make sure the
cutter is securely tightened in collet nut and that depth of
cut is properly set.
Plug router into power supply, turn it on, and let motor
build to its full speed, then gradually plunge or feed cutter
into workpiece. Do not let the cutter contact workpiece
before turning on router and allowing it to develop full
speed.
Remain alert and watch what you are doing. Do not
-1
. There is a six-
operate router when fatigued or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
ROUTING GROOVES (FIG. 13)
When routing across the face of boards, set router at
desired depth of cut, place the edge of router base
against workpiece, and turn on the router. Slowly feed
the cutter into the workpiece along desired line of cut.

CAUTION:
We suggest that you practice with your router before
installing a cutter and making cuts in wood.
WARNING:
If desired depth of cut is greater than can be safely
cut in one pass, make cuts in two or more passes.
