• The fine adjustment stop cannot be use to reduce the plunge depth when the depth rod is already touching the depth stop turret. The router must be raised before such an adjustment can be made. • Also available is an alternative turret that has an adjustable step which uses an M4 screw for the adjustable step. The adjustable step makes it possible to make multiple-pass applications without having to make a fine depth adjustment even when the total cutting depth is not a multiple of 1/8". -14 BM 2610925542 07-06.qxp 7/24/06 12:06 PM Page 15 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). ROCKER POWER "ON-OFF" WITH TRIGGER SWITCH AND "LOCKON" BUTTON (Models 1618 & 1618EVS only) The power is switched "ON" by the rocker switch located on the top of the motor housing as described above. Now your tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. Your tool is also equipped with “Lock-ON” button located just above the trigger that allows continuous operation without holding the trigger (Fig. 2). TO LOCK SWITCH ON: Squeeze trigger, depress button and release trigger. TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH: Squeeze trigger and release it without depressing the “Lock- ON” button. !WARNING If the “Lock-ON” button is continuously being depressed, the trigger cannot be released. On models 1617 & 1618 hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist. SOFT START FEATURE (Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only) Electronic feedback control minimizes torque twist customary in larger routers by limiting the speed at which motor starts. 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 resetting 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.

Therefore, the most efficient cut is made by feeding the router so that the bit turns into the work, not away. Figure 15 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, 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, consider these causes: 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. GUIDING THE ROUTER The router can be guided through the work in any of several ways. The method you use depends, of course, on the demands of the particular job and on convenience. For routing operations such as grooving or dadoing, it is often necessary to guide the tool in a line parallel to a straight edge. One method of obtaining a straight cut is to securely clamp a board or other straightedge to the work surface, and guide the edge of the router sub-base along this path (Fig. 16).
