OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Model 7518 is equipped with an overload protector that will shut motor off if prolonged overload conditions are encountered.
If the motor stops during use: (1) depress rocker switch (A), Fig. 4, into the OFF position; (2) determine cause of overload (i.e. dull bit, low voltage, excessive feed rate, etc.) and correct before continuing; (3) restart router following the instructions in TO START AND STOP ROUTER.
Model 7519 is equipped with a
If the circuit breaker “trips”, switching the motor OFF: (1) determine cause of the overload (i.e. dull bit, low voltage, excessive feed rate, etc.) and correct before continuing; (2) allow router to cool for three minutes; and, (3) restart router following the instructions in TO START AND STOP ROUTER.
SOFT START
Model 7518 and 7519 have a “Soft Start” feature designed to minimize startup reaction torque.
SPEED CONTROL (Model 7518 only)
The speed control is located as shown in Fig. 4. Five operating speeds from 10,000 RPM to 21,000 RPM are available by moving the speed selector knob (B), Fig. 4. It is recommended that the speed be set prior to engaging the router bit into work. Should it be necessary to change the speed after work has begun, stop router, remove router clear of work, and adjust speed setting.
