To adjust the speed of the trim router, rotate the variable
speed dial located on the front of the motor housing. Rotate
the dial to the left to increase speed. Higher numbers
on the dial indicate higher speeds. Rotate the dial to the
right to decrease speed. The speed is adjustable from

OPERATING THE TRIM ROUTER
See Figure 8, page 15.
Before starting the trim router, unplug it and make sure the
cutter is securely tightened in the collet and that the depth
of cut is properly set. Never start the trim router while the
cutter is in contact with the workpiece.
After completing a cut, pull the cutter slightly away from the
cut surface. Turn the trim router off and wait for the rotating
cutter to completely stop before removing the base from
the work surface.
When cutting, fit the base of the trim router over the work
surface and firmly hold the body of the trim router with your
hand. Make sure the trim router is running at full speed before
contacting the workpiece.
WARNING:
Avoid hand positions that may expose fingers
to cutter through open areas of trim router base.
Fingers entering the opening in the trim router base
can be seriously cut or burned.
