ROCKER "ON/OFF" SWITCH
Your tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by the
rocker switch located on the motor housing.
One side of the switch is marked "I" for "ON",
and the other side of switch is marked "O" for
"OFF". Also the edge of switch displays red
when switch is in the "ON" position.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON": Push the side of
the switch marked "I".
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF": Push the side of
the switch marked "O".
Always hold the router off the work when
turning the switch on or off. Contact the work
with the router after the router has reached full
speed, and remove it from the work before
turning the switch off. Operating in this manner
will prolong switch and motor life and will
greatly increase the quality of your work (Fig. 1).

ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size and
material hardness for improved finish, extended
bit life, and higher performance. Speed
changes are achieved by rotating Control Dial
RIGHT to increase speed, LEFT to decrease as
indicated on housing (Fig. 1). Speed may be
changed while tool is on. The reference
numbers on the dial facilitate re-setting control
to desired speed.
The speed chart indicates the relationship
between settings and application, exact
settings are determined by operator experience
and preference. The bit manufacturer may also
have a speed recommendation.
