FEATURES

Your plunge router is a versatile woodworking tool that will give you years of trouble-free performance. It is engineered with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows the amateur to produce work that is beautiful and precise. As the name implies your plunge router can be used for making plunge cuts in workpieces, routing grooves, edge routing, routing circles, and freehand routing. When used with recommended accessories, such as a UL listed router table, depth adjusment knob, and straight guide; it becomes even more versatile. Various types of cutters, both with and without roller bearings as guides, also add to the versatility of this tool.

HEAVY DUTY MOTOR

Your router has a powerful 10 amp motor with sufficient power to handle tough routing jobs. It delivers 2 horsepower for heavy duty performance. The motor also has externally accessible brushes for ease of servicing.

SWITCH

To turn the router ON, toggle the switch to the I position. To turn the router OFF, toggle the switch to the O position.

DEPTH STOP SYSTEM

The Accu-Stop™ Micro-Adjustable depth stop located on the base of your router provides precise stops for repetitive depth of cut changes. A depth adjustment scale makes quick adjustments to depth of cut changes possible.

CHIP SHIELD

A plastic chip shield has been provided on the base of your router for protection against flying dust and chips. It is designed to fit the front opening of the router base.

SPINDLE LOCK

A spindle lock secures the spindle so that only one wrench is needed to loosen collet nut and change cutters. NOTE: Do not run router with spindle lock engaged.

Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the material being cut. The best cuts are made when the cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of feed.

PLUNGE LOCK LEVER

Your router has a plunge lock lever that allows for free plunging. This feature is very useful for table mounted operations on UL listed router tables when used with the optional depth control knob. Unlocking the plunge lock lever allows for a smooth, precise plunging action. Once you reach the desired depth of cut, simply lock the plunge lock lever. The cutter will then be secured at the desired depth of cut.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

The design of this tool provides for easy handling. It is designed for comfort and ease of grasp when operating in different positions and at different angles.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than 10 percent will cause a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

VARIABLE SPEED

Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to assist you in getting the maximum use from your router. By making proper speed selections, your router can be adjusted to specfic routing needs. This eliminates much of the guess work previously needed to perform operations on UL listed router tables when used with the optional depth control knob.

The variable speed control allows the router to develop a no load speed that can be adjusted from 15,000 to 23,000 RPM. The variable speed control selector is conveniently located on the front of the router.

The electronic feature of your router introduces the flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the load applied to the motor, and increases or decreases motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired RPM.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair.
