• To turn the motor “OFF” push the
toggle switch to the right side marked
“O” and “OFF.”
Always hold the router and the cutter bit
away from the workpiece when turning
the toggle switch “On.” Only contact the
workpiece with the router and cutter bit
after the router has reached the full selected
speed. Only remove the router and cutter bit
from the workpiece after turning the router
motor “OFF” and after the cutter bit comes
to a complete stop.
SOFT START FEATURE
The soft start control minimizes torque
twist, customary in larger router motors, by
limiting the speed at which the motor starts.
This increases the motor’s life.
LED WORKLIGHTS (FIG. 9)
FIG. 9
Your router motor has 3 built-in worklights
located around the collet to provide high
visibility of the workpiece when cutting.
These lights are always “On” when the
toggle switch is in the “ON” position.
DEEP CUTS
The proper cutting depth for each pass,
is always determined by the material, the
cutter bit size and type, and the power of
the motor.
Always make several progressively deeper
cuts by starting at one depth and then
making several passes, each time increasing
the cutting depth until your desired depth is
reached.
Making a cut that is too deep will stress the
motor and the cutter bit, and it may burn the
workpiece and dull the cutter bit. It could
also “grab” too much of the workpiece
and cause you to lose control of the router,
causing a serious accident.
To be certain that your depth settings are
correct, always make test cuts in scrap
material similar to your workpiece before
beginning your final cutting.
Remember, knowing the right depth for each
cut comes with routing experience.

FIG. 8
Your router motor is turned “ON” and “OFF”
