Waxing Motor and Base
To maintain a smooth action when moving the motor unit in
relation to the base, the outside of the motor unit and the inside
of the base can be waxed using any standard paste or liquid
wax. Per the manufacturers instructions, rub the wax onto the
outside diameter of the motor unit and the inside diameter of
the base. Allow wax to dry and buff off residue with a softcloth.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
NOTE: If additional resistance is needed, use the hand to
depress the plunge locklever.
NOTE: If additional clamping strength is required, press the
lock lever further to tighten in the clockwisedirection.
3. Perform thecut.
4. Depressing the plunge lock lever will disable the locking
mechanism allowing the router bit to disengage from
theworkpiece.
5. Turn the routeroff.
Direction of Feed (Fig.O)
The direction of feed is very important when routing and can
make the difference between a successful job and a ruined
project. The figures show the proper direction of feed for some
typical cuts. A general rule to follow is to move the router in
a anticlockwise direction on an outside cut and a clockwise
direction on an insidecut.
Shape the outside edge of a piece of stock by following
these steps:
1. Shape the end grain, left toright.
2. Shape the straight grain side moving left toright.
3. Cut the other end grainside.
4. Finish the remaining straight grainedge.
Choosing Router Speed (Fig.A)
Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed.
Turn the variable speed dial
4
to control routerspeed.
Soft Start Feature
The compact routers are equipped with electronics to provide
a soft start feature that minimizes the start up torque of
themotor.
Variable Speed Control (Fig.A)
This router is equipped with a variable speed dial
4
with 7
speeds between 16000 and 25500 RPM. Adjust the speed by
turning the variable speed dial
4
.
NOTICE: In low and medium speed operation, the speed
control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you
expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the
motor, you could damage the motor by overheating.
Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to
prevent tooldamage.
The compact routers are equipped with electronics to monitor
and maintain the speed of the tool whilecutting.

router may not exactly produce the speed listed for the dial setting.
NOTE: Make several light passes instead of one heavy pass for
better qualitywork.
Worklights (Fig. A)

will remain on 20 seconds after the on/off switch is moved to
the off position.
NOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work
surface and are not intended to be used as aflashlight.
NOTE: If worklights flash, check the charge on the battery; it
could be low. If they still flash with a charged battery, the unit
should be taken to a service centre forevaluation.
