TRIGGER SWITCH AND
"LOCK-ON"
Bu'n'ON
Your router can be turned ON or OFF by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. Your
router is also equipped with "Lock-ON"
button located above the trigger that allows
continuous operation without holding the
trigger.
TO LOCK TRIGGER ON: Squeeze trigger,
depress "Lock-ON" button and release
trigger (Figure 6).
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: Squeeze
trigger and release it without depressing
the "Lock-ON" button.
If the "Lock-ON"
button is
continuously
being de-pressed, the
trigger cannot be released.
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 desired 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.
Always hold the tool with both hands
while starting the tool, since torque from
the motor can cause the tool to twist.

DIRECTION
OF FEED
As seen from the top of the router, the bit
and its cutting edges turn clockwise. The
direction of feed should always be such
that the bit turns into the work, not away.
Figure 7 shows proper feed for various
cuts. How fast you feed depends on the
hardness of the material and the size of
the cut. For some materials, or removing
large amounts of material, it is best to
make several cuts of increasing depth.
If the router is hard to control, heats up,
runs very slowly or leaves an imperfect
cut, the cause may be one or more of
the following:
1. Wrong direction of feed--hard
to
control.
2. Feeding too fast---overloads motor.
3. Dull bit---overloads
motor.
4. Cut is too large for one pass--
overloads motor.
5. Feeding too slow--leaves
friction
burns on work.
Feed smoothly and steadily (do not force).
You will soon learn how the router sounds
and feels when it is working best.
