Using the Router (Fig. A, L)

CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging the
cutter head into the workpiece.
CAUTION:
• Excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor
or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 19/32" (15 mm) at a
pass when cutting grooves with a 5/16" (8 mm)
diameter bit.
• When cutting grooves with a 25/32" (20 mm)
diamter bit, the depth of cut should not be more
than 3/16" (5 mm) at a pass.
• For extra deep grooving, make two or three passes
with progressively deeper bit settings.
CAUTION:
• After long periods of working at low speeds, allow
the machine to cool down by running it for three
minutes at maximum speed, with no load.
All common routing tasks can be performed with the plunge
cut router on all types of wood and plastic:
‑ Grooving
‑ Rabbeting
‑ Recessing
‑ Veining
‑ Profiling
To prevent overload of the tool by using the wrong speed
selection, follow the reccommended settings below:
13/32" ‑ 1‑3/16"
MATERIAL
Hardwood
Softwood
Chipboard Faced
Plastic
nOTE: Only carbide‑tipped cutters should be used on panels
faced with plastic laminates. The hard laminates will quickly
dull steel cutters.
nOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently clean
the columns of dust or debris. If the plunging movement is
not moving as smooth as desired, lubricate the columns with
a dry teflon lubricant.
1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the
router such that the bit is directly over the place you will
be cutting.
2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down
into the workpiece. DO nOT JAM ThE ROUTER DOWn.
3. When the tool reaches the pre‑set depth, push the quick
release button 7 to lock.
4. When you have finished routing, push the plunge lock
lever to unlock and let the spring lift the router directly

out of the workpiece.
5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which
the cutter is rotating. Refer to Fig. L.

On/Off Trigger Switch (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start‑up can cause injury.
1. To turn the unit on, squeeze the on/off trigger switch
Continue to squeeze the trigger switch or press the lock
on button switch 20
2. To turn the unit off:
a. If lock on trigger is engage, release the lock on button
by squeezing and releasing trigger.
b. If the lock on switch is not engage, fully release
the trigger.
Variable Speed Dial (Fig. A)

WARNING: If the speed control ceases to operate, or
is intermittent, stop using the tool immediately. Take
it to a D WALT factory or authorized service facility
e
for repair.
NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to
monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while
cutting. 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.
Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed.
Turn the speed dial 1 to control router speed. The speed is
variable from 9000 to 22000 rpm using the speed dial
1. Turn the speed dial to the required position. The dial is
numbered from 1 –7 and corresponds to router speeds of
9000 rpm to 22000 rpm.
2. Use the slower settings for large diameter cutters and the
faster settings for small diameter cutters.
3. The correct setting will also depend on the density of the
material, depth of cut and feed speed of the router.
nOTE: A noticeable loss of motor rpm means
motor overload.
