CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the tool is switched off.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
•
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON)
position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O
(OFF) position.
Speed adjusting dial
For model RP1101 only
1
003666
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained
when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the
number settings on the dial and the approximate tool
speed.

CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
•
for a long time, the motor will get overloaded,
resulting in tool malfunction.
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
•
as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

Installing or removing the bit
1
003671
CAUTION:
Use always a collet which is suitable for the shank
•
diameter of the bit.
Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting a
•
bit, or the collet chuck will break.
When using bit of bigger than 1-1/4" in diameter,
•
install base plate with center hole diameter 2-1/2",
replacing the original base plate.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet chuck and
withdraw it very slightly ( approx. 2mm;1/16" ). Then
tighten the collet chuck securely with the two wrenches.
These routers accommodate the bits with 1/2" diameter
shank. When using the 1/4" diameter shank bit, replace
the equipped collet chuck with the one for 1/4" diameter
shank bit which is provided as the standard accessory.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
OPERATION
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the
bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body with
pressing the lock lever down. Release the lock lever at
the lowest position and push it further to lock the tool
body securely. Move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.
