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 nal cutting.
Remember, knowing the right depth for each
cut comes with routing experience.
TOGGLE “ON/OFF”
SWITCH (FIG. 8)
Your router motor is turned “ON” and “OFF”
with the toggle switch located on the top
cap of the motor housing.
The left side of the toggle switch hood (as you
face it) is marked “I” and “ON” and the right
side (as you face it) is marked “O” and “OFF.”
• To turn the motor “ON”, push the toggle
switch to the left side marked “I” and
“ON.”
• To turn the motor “OFF” push the
toggle switch to the right side marked
“O” and “OFF.”
When using the xed base for edge routing,
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; read and follow the instructions for
EDGE ROUTING and INTERNAL ROUTING
with the base you are using. 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)
Your router motor has 3 built-in worklights
located around the collet/nut to provide
high visibility of the workpiece when cutting.
These lights are always “On” when the
toggle switch is in the “ON” position.
