FIG. 10
Live tool
indicator
Your router also has a “live tool indicator”
green light, located on the motor housing
top cap where the power cord enters the
motor housing. This green light is always
on when the router motor is plugged into a
power source.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE-SPEED
CONTROL (FIG. 11)
FIG. 11
The electronic-speed control feature allows
the motor speed to be matched to the
cutter size and the material hardness for an
improved finish and extended bit life.
Press “+” or “-” to choose the cutting speed
according various materials of workpieces.
Choose the applicable cutting speed
according the bit diameter and the material
being cut. The chart below and all of the
specifications that appear on the display of
the router are for your reference.

The speed chart in the next column indicates
the relationship between the speed setting
and the cutting application. Exact settings
are determined through operator experience
and preference and by recommendations
from manufacturers of cutter bits.

NOTICE: Reduce the speed when using
very large bits (1-inch or greater in cutting
diameter) or heavy cutting bits. Changing
the router rate of feed can also improve
the quality of the cut.
NOTICE: The speed may be changed while
the router is “ON”, but do not change the
speed if the cutter bit is in the workpiece.
WARNING:
Before operating your
router, follow all safety instructions in this
manual. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
