The next information is a "Variable Speed
Selection Chart" to help determine the cor-
rect speed for the cutting bit being used.
WARNING: before operating the router fol-
low all safety instructions in this manual. Failure
to do so could result in serious personal injury.
The next chart shows the variable speed selec-
tion; Never exceed these bit speeds:
CUTTING BIT DIAMETER
Up to 1" (25 mm)
1-1/4" a 2" (30 mm - 50 mm)
2-1/4" a 2-1/2" (55 mm - 65 mm)
3" a 3-1/2" (75 mm - 90 mm)
Reduce the speed when using extra large bits (1
inch or more in cutting diameter) or heavy cut-
ting bits. Changing the router's rate of feed can
also improve the quality of the cut.
For Non-ferrous metal, hardwoods, larger diam-
eter cutting bits

The speed charts above indicate the relationship
between the speed setting and the cutting ap-
plication. Exact settings are determined through
operator experience and preference, and by rec-
ommendations by the cutting-bit manufacturer.
HEAVY-DUTY EDGE GUIDE
The router combo comes with a heavy-duty edge
guide. This edge guide can be used as an aid in
routing applications such as decorative edging,
straight edge planning and trimming, grooving,
dadoing and slotting. To attach the edge guide
to the base, simply insert the edge guide rods
into edge-guide mounting slots, adjust it to the
desired position, and lock down with the edge-
guide locking knobs.
SELECTING THE CUTTING BIT
This router comes with 1/4 inch, collet/nut that
accept 1/4 inch diameter shanked cutting bits
NOTE: the sub-base installed on this router has
an opening of 1-1/4 inches. To use cutting bits
with a larger diameter, use a sub-base with a
larger opening.
with a cutter diameter larger than 1-1/2 inches,
always have the speed dial set at number 1 or 2.

not tighten the collet/nut without a cutting bit
installed.
REMOVING THE CUTTING BIT
1. Follow steps 1-4 from the "INSTALLING AND
REMOVING THE CUTTING BIT" section.
2. Remove the cutting-bit shank.
NOTE: the collet/nut is self-releasing; it is not
necessary to strike the collet/nut to free the
router cutting bit. If the cutting bit seems stuck
after use, loosen the collet/nut a little more until
it releases.
