ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Always wear safetey goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using your router. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, chips, loose particles, or foreign objects being thrown in your eyes result- ing in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask.

SPEED SELECTION
Your router has a variable speed control selector designed
VARIABLE SPEED
SIGHT WINDOW
to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You can make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The variable speed control selector allows you to adjust router speed from 15,000 to 23,000 RPM. There is a six- step scale (A to F) on the variable speed control selector. To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed control selector to a higher setting (F). Turn to a lower setting to decrease speed and torque.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control selector, turn it to the highest possible setting, and the feature will not be active.
The speed selection chart shown gives suggested speed settings based on the diameter of the cutter and the type of material being routed.
We suggest that you practice with the variable speed feature of your router before installing a cutter and making cuts in wood.

ZERO RESET INDICATOR
The zero reset indicator allows you to use the scale provided on the housing to make quick depth of cut changes to existing depth of cut settings. Simply choose a reference point on the scale and slide the zero reset indicator up or down the scale the distance required for new depth of cut. Then change stop bar position by loosening lock knob and adjusting stop bar until red line on zero reset indicator moves back to reference point. Tighten lock knob securely to lock stop bar in new position. The cutter position will now increase or decrease the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted.
NOTE: Each mark on the inch scale indicates 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
