tool may try to twist from the strong initial torque.

Note: The Router bit should always be fed into the stock from left to right so as to match the clockwise rotation of the router. When cutting outside edges, rotate the router counterclockwise. Rotate it clockwise when cutting in- side edges.

Note: Make practice cuts at different speeds in scrap material until you are able to produce a smooth cut with no burnishing or burn marks. Burn marks are caused by moving too slowly through the wood. Feeding the Rout- er too quickly, or trying to remove too much material in a single pass cre- ates a rough cut and can overload the motor.

1.Set the desired speed by turning the Speed Adjuster (4). Use lower set- tings for large diameter bits and high- er settings for small diameter bits.

2.Place the Router directly above the point you plan to cut. Verify that there are no obstructions in the cutting path.

3.Verify that the Plunge Lock Lever (32) is loose.

4.Turn on the Router. The Router can be powered with or without the Lock- on Button engaged.

To power the Router so that the power is on only while the Trigger Switch is depressed: depress and hold in the Trigger Switch (60). To stop the Router from this setting, release the Trigger Switch.

To power the Router continuously, without holding in any buttons or

switches, depress and hold in the Trigger Switch (60), then push the Lock-on Button. Release the Trig- ger Switch, then the Lock-on Button. To stop the Router from this setting, press and release the Trigger Switch.

5.Allow the bit to come to full speed, slowly engage material. DO NOT force the Router down into the mate- rial.

6.When the tool reaches its pre-set depth, tighten the Plunge Lock Lever (32).

7.Once you have finished the cut, loos- en the Plunge Lock Lever and allow the spring to lift the Router directly out of the workpiece.

8.When finished, raise the Router so the bit is clear of the material, then release the Trigger Switch, or press and release the Trigger Switch if the Lock-on Button was set. Do not set the Router down until the bit has come to a complete stop.

9.When making more than one pass to achieve the desired cutting depth, turn the Depth Stop Turret to the next lower level and repeat the cut. Re- peat again as needed until the cut is the desired depth.

10.To prevent accidents, disconnect the power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
