ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig 1)

Your ERT241200 Router starts and stops by depressing the On/Off Switch located on the body of the tool. Push the switch down to start the Router. It will lock into place, allowing you to remove your finger while the Router remains in operation. Always ensure you are holding the Router properly before depressing the switch to turn the tool on. To turn the Router off, simply push the switch up.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (Fig 1)

Your Router features variable speed control to greatly increase the versatility of the tool. This can be used to adjust the rotational speed of the bit to its size and the material being worked on.

NOTE: Select high speed for larger router bits and heavy grained timber. Use lower speed only for very small router bits and composition board. Do not overload the router as this may cause motor damage at lower speed.

Speed Setting

The actual speed will depend on the material and other conditions and is best determined by use on a scrap piece of material before routing the actual workpiece.

NOTE: Do not run the tool at low speeds for extended periods without occasionally running at high speed with no load applied. At lower speeds the fan does not cool the motor as effectively as it does at high speed and the motor may overheat.
