FEATURES

KNOW YOUR ROUTER

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

CENTERING TOOL

The centering tool aligns the subbase with the center of the collet when reattaching the subbase to the router.

CHIP SHIELD

A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of the router for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield is designed to fit the opening of the router base.

LED WORKLIGHTS

The LED worklights, located on the bottom of the router motor, illuminate when the slide switch is on. This provides extra light for increased visibility.

LIGHTED PLUG

The lighted plug with tool icon helps to easily identify live tools.

PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB

The plunge depth adjustment knob, located on the base of the plunge base, provides precise stops for repetitive depth of cut changes. A depth adjustment scale makes quick ad- justments to depth of cut changes possible.

SLIDE SWITCH

The slide switch is located on top of the motor housing. It features a soft start to prolong motor life and gives the operator more control when starting the router.

SPINDLE LOCK

The spindle lock keeps the collet from turning while installing and removing bits.

VACUUM ADAPTORS

The vacuum adaptors attach to the router base for dust free routing when used in combination with a vacuum.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

The variable speed dial enables speed adjustment of the bit from 10,000/min to 23,000/min.
