Unintentional restart proof
The tool does not start with the switch trigger pulled
even when the tool is plugged.
At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows
the unintentional restart proof device is on function.
To cancel the unintentional restart proof, release the
switch trigger.
Soft start feature
Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes
the tool start smoothly.
Constant speed control
Only for model RP2302FC, RP2303FC
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under the loaded condition.
Speed adjusting dial
Only for model RP2302FC, RP2303FC
WARNING:
Do not use the speed adjusting
dial during operation. The router bit can be touched
by the operator because of reaction force. This may
result in personal injury.
NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously
at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get
overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned
only as far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past
6 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no
longer work.
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Fig.6
► 1. Speed adjusting dial
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained
when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the num-
ber settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.
