VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
See Ftgure 1!.
The router has e variable speed dial designed to allow
operator control of speed and torque IIraits, You can
make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the
material being cut, and the size of cutter being used. The
variable speed dial allows you to adjust router speed from
15,000 to 25,000/rain. There is a six-step scale CAto F/on
the variable speed diei. To increase the speed and torque
of the router, turn the vadable speed dial to a higher
setting (F). Turn to a lower setting to decrease speed and
torque (A).
NOTE; If you do not want to use the vadable speed dieT,
turn it to the highest possible setting, and the feature w[U
not be active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed
settings based on the diaraeter of the cutter and the type
of material being routed.

feature of the router before Installing a cutter and making
cuts in wood.
