Start Up
Switching On and Operation Control
• Connect the router to the power source. The ON
indicator (A) will show a green light and will switch off
when disconnecting the router.
• Use the switch (B) to switch on or off the router motor.
To switch on the tool push the switch into the "ON" mark.
To switch off the tool push the switch into the "OFF"
mark.
CAUTION
• When starting the motor wait until the
bit gets to the maximum speed to make contact with the
work piece.
• When switching off the motor please
CAUTION
wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before
removing the bit from the work piece.
• The motor is configured to minimize torque, limiting the
speed while it starts. This increases the motor useful life.
• The motor is built with electronic feedback keeping a
constant speed while loaded. This feature brings an
adequate control and assures a smooth finish.
Speed Control
• The speed control (C) makes possible to determine the router speed depending upon the bit size and the material
hardness. This feature gives a finer finish and extends the bits life.
• The control can be adjusted from 1 (lowest speed) up to 6 (highest speed).
• Speed can be adjusted with the motor running, however
making contact with the work piece. Otherwise, the control on the machine is lost due to sudden vibration.
• To select the required speed turn the speed control to desired level according to the speed table shown in this manual.
Remember, determining the precise speed is only possible consulting the speed reference tables, the bit manufacturer
recommendations and the operator experience when making trial cuts on scrap pieces of the same wood.
• As a general rule, the low speed is adequate for 1" bits or bigger and heavy-duty cutting bits. High speed is adequate for
bits smaller than 1".

Working Lights
• The router is built with three work lights set around the
chuck. This feature allows the operator to light the work
piece while making a cut and to get an optimum visibility.
• The lights are on when the router motor starts and
remain lighted until the motor is set off.
