Extension Cords
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power
or overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use, depending on cord length
and amperage rating on the tool's nameplate. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always
use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

Operating the Tool
Trigger Switch with "Lock-ON"button
Your tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. Your tool is
also equipped with "Lock-ON" button, located
on the left side of the trigger handle, that allows
for continuous operation without holding the
trigger.
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 con-
tinuously being depressed, the trigger cannot
be released.

Variable Speed with Dial Setting
(1613EVS & 1614EVS)
Your router is also equipped with a variable
speed dial 2. The router bit speed can be preset
from 12,000 to maximum nameplate RPM by
rotating the dial to the desired setting. The dial
may be set on or between any of six positions (1
= low through 6 = high). The "Lock-ON"
button may also be used with any setting of the
dial.
The following speeds generally apply, but pre-
cise settings are largely determined by
experience with the material being cut. Mo-
mentary speed variation is normal when starting
the router until the electronic regulator takes

The router is equipped with the "soft start"
feature which gradually increases the starting
speed and torque, reducing the stress that oc-
curs from a high torque start.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch "ON" and "OFF" while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.
Router Bit Installation and Removal
WARNING

supplied to loosen the collet chuck assembly.
Insert the shank of the router bit into the collet
chuck as far as it will go, then back the shank
