28190 Manual_Revised_07_0409 Page 20 Deep Cuts The proper cutting depth for each pass is always determined by the material, the cutting bit size and type, and the power of the router motor. Always make several progressively deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then make several passes, each time increasing the cutting; depth until your desired depth is reached. Making a cut that is too deep will stress the router motor and the cutting bit, and it may burn the work piece and dull the cutting bit. It could also "grab" too much of the work piece and cause you to lose control of the router, causing a serious accident. To be certain that your depth settings are as desired, always make test cuts in scrap material similar to your work piece before beginning your final cutting. Remember, knowing the right depth for each cut comes with routing experience. TOGGLE "ON/OFF" SWITCH (Fig. 7) "four router motor is turned "ON" and "OFF" by the toggle switch located on the top cap of the router motor. The left side of the toggle switch hood (as you face it) is marked "1" for "On" and the right side (as you face it) is marked "O" for "Off°" TO TURN THE ROUTER MOTOR "ON," Push the toggle switch to the left side marked "1," or "On." TO TURN THE ROUTER MOTOR "OFF" Push the toggle switch to the right side marked "O," or "Off." When turning the toggle switch "On," always support ohe edge of the router base on the work piece while holding the cutting bit away frdm the work piece. Only contact the work piece with the cutting bit after the rou_ter has reached full speed,. ONLY remove the router and cutting bit from the work piece AFTER turning the router motor "OFF," and the cutting bit has come to a cbmplete stop. Operating in this manner will increase toggle switch and motor life, and will increase the quality of your work. SOFT START FEATURE ! L Electronic feedback control minimizes torque twist, custo)ma.,-yin larger router motors, by limiting the speed at which the router motor starts.. This increases the motor's life. 28190 Manual__Revised_07-0409 Page 2:1. LED WORKLIGHTS (Fig° 8) Fig_ 8 Your router motor has 3 built-in 'i work lights located around the collet/nut to provide high visibility of work piece when cutting. These lights are always "On" when the toggle switch is in the "On" position. "LIVE TOOL INDICATOR" LIGHT (Fig. 9) "{-our router also has a "LIVE TOOL INDICATOR" green light, located on the router motor top cap where the power cord enters the router motor. This green light is always on when router motor is plugged into power source. HEAVY-DUTY EDGE GUIDE (Fig° 10) Your Fixed Base Router comes with a Heavy-Duty Edge Guide. This edge guide can be used as an aid in routing applications such as decorative edging, straight-edge planing and trimming, grooving, dadoing and slotting. To assemble onto fixed or plunge bases, simply insert edge guide rods into edge guide mounting slots, adjust to desired position, and lock down with the edge guide locking knobs_ Fig. 9 Using edge-guide with fixed base for intema] cuts ! I Page 22 28190 Manual Revised_07©409 I DETACHABLE POWER CORD (Fig., 11) The router has a detachable Fig,, 11 power cord for easy carrying and storage. Note: Always attach the Detach able Power Cord to the Router before connecting the Power Cord to the power source Before turning the router on, connect the end of the power cord with two sockets to the power outlet located on the router motor's top cap (See indicator label on the Router)° Electronic Variable Speed Control The electronic speed control feature allows router motor speed to be matched to cutter size and material hardness for an improved finisl_ and extended bit life.
