OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Make sure that the voltage
from the power supply matches the voltage
specified on the tool. Before plugging in the
tool ensure that the bit is properly inserted
and tightened and that it spins freely.

1. Starting the Tool

a) Plug in the tool with the switch in the
OFF position.
b) Hold the router firmly with both
handles with the bit away from you
and positioned so that the bit is not in
contact with the wood or any part of
your body or clothing.

d) Turn off the tool by sliding the switch
in the opposite direction.

2. Variable Speed Control

WARNING: Always unplug the router
before making any speed adjustment.
The Freud FT1700 is equipped with an
electronic variable speed control feature.-
Fig. 7
This speed control has an infinite number of
speeds from 10,000 to 23,000 RPM. The
speed is adjusted by turning the speed
control knob (C). Consult the router bit
manufacturer for recommended bit speed.
The electronic speed control keeps constant
speed at all levels. If the motor speed
decreases in use you may be exceeding the
load capacity of the tool. This could cause
damage to the motor by overheating.
Reducing the depth of cut so that more
passes are required and/or slowing the rate
of feed will reduce the power requirements on
the router.
