Direction of Feed (Fig. O)
The direction of feed is very important when routing and can
make the difference between a successful job and a ruined
project. The figures show the proper direction of feed for some
typical cuts. A general rule to follow is to move the router in
a anticlockwise direction on an outside cut and a clockwise
direction on an inside cut.
shape the outside edge of a piece of stock by following
these steps:

Soft Start Feature
The compact routers are equipped with electronics to provide
a soft start feature that minimizes the start up torque of
the motor.
Variable Speed Control (Fig. A)
This router is equipped with a variable speed dial
speeds between 16000 and 25500 RPM. Adjust the speed by
turning the variable speed dial
NOTICE: 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.
The compact routers are equipped with electronics to monitor
and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting.

MAINTENANCE

Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
Waxing Motor and Base
To maintain a smooth action when moving the motor unit in
relation to the base, the outside of the motor unit and the inside
of the base can be waxed using any standard paste or liquid
wax. Per the manufacturers instructions, rub the wax onto the
outside diameter of the motor unit and the inside diameter of
the base. Allow wax to dry and buff off residue with a soft cloth.
