This router is equipped with a variable speed dial (C) with an infinite number of
speeds between 16000 and 27000 RPM. Adjust the speed by turning the variable
speed dial (C).
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.
