Selecting The Cutting Bit; Cutting Bits; Electronic Variable Speed Control - Craftsman 320.28212 Operator's Manual

Electronic Variable Speed Control
The electronic variable speed control feature allows the user to match the motor
speed to the cutting bit size and workpiece-material hardness for an improved
finish and extended bit life.
Reduce the speed when using extra large (1-in. or greater) or heavy cutting bits.
Changing the router's rate of feed can also improve the quality of the cut.
SELECTING THE CUTTING BIT
This router comes with 1/4-in. col let/nut that accepts 1/4-inch-shank cutting bits.
_, WARNING: Do not use router cutting bits that have a cutting bit diameter
larger than 1-1/2 inches, as they will not fit through the sub-base opening and will
cause damage to the sub-base and the motor and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator.
_, WARNING: Always turn the motor off and unplug the router before making
any adjustments or installing accessories. Failure to unplug the router could
result in accidental starting, which can cause serious personal injury.
CUTTING BITS
Get faster, more accurate cutting results by keeping cutting bits clean and sharp.
1. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutting bits after each use.
2. When sharpening cutting bits, sharpen only the inside of the cutting edge.
Never grind the outside diameter.
3. Be sure, when sharpening the end of a cutting bit, to grind so that the
clearance angle remains the same as it was originally.
