ELECTRIC
MOTOR
Your router has a precision built electric motor, It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
voJts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal
household
current),
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC), A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor wiii overheat, if your tool does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply,
SWITCH
To turn the router ON, toggle the switch to the I
position. To turn the router OFF, toggle the switch to
the O position.

See Figure 1.
Your router has advanced electronic features,
designed to assist you in getting the maximum use
from your router, By making proper speed selections,
your router can be adjusted to specific routing needs,

needed to perform a given job. Both the experienced
and inexperienced router users benefit, obtaining
professional like results with fewer job errors,
The variable speed control allows the router speed to
be adjusted from 15,000 to 25,000
RPM. The
variable speed control selector is conveniently located
on the top of the motor housing,
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the
material being cut. The best cuts are made when the
cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of
feed,
