10.0AMP PLUNGE ROUTER 21
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With the reduced load on the motor caused by the slow feed, the cutter bit has a tendency
to bounce off the sides of the cut in the workpiece, producing a cut with a rippled finish
instead of clean straight sides.
12. Routing tips
a) For best control and results, always allow the router to reach completely to the
speed setting (as the setting using the speed dial) before bringing the bit cutter into
contact with workpiece, always move the router so that the bit cutter exits from
the workpiece before switching off the router.Operating in this manner will prolong
switch and motor life and will greatly increase the quality of your work.
b) Always use router bits with the shortest cutting length necessary to produce the
desired cut. This will minimize router bit chatter.
c) Always be sure the collet chuck is tightened securely before use.
d) Soft materials require a faster feed rate than hard materials.
e) The router may stall if improperly used or overloaded.
f) Reduce the feed rate to prevent possible damage to the tool.
g) To be certain that your depth and speed settings provide the desired results, test the
settings by routing some scrap material before routing the actual workpiece.
h) If the router is hard to control, heats up, runs very slowly or leaves an imperfect cut,
consider these causes:
• Wrong direction of feed — hard to control.
• Feeding too fast — overloads motor.
• Dull bit — overloads motor.
• Cut is too large for one pass — overloads motor.
• Feeding too slow — leaves friction burns on work.
i) When routing deep cuts, it is best to make multiple progressively deeper cuts rather
than trying to rout the full depth in one pass. The appropriate depth of cut will
depend on the type of material and the type of cutter being used.
