6.2 Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 1/Item 4)
The most suitable speed depends on the material
you want to cut and on the diameter of the router
bit. Use the speed adjusting dial (4) to select a
speed between 10,000 and 30,000 RPM. You can
choose from 6 diff erent switch positions.
The speeds in the various switch positions
are as follows:
Switch position 1: approx. 10,000 RPM (minimum
speed)
Switch position 2: approx. 14,000 RPM
Switch position 3: approx. 19,000 RPM
Switch position 4: approx. 22,000 RPM
Switch position 5: approx. 25,000 RPM
Switch position 6: approx. 30,000 RPM (maximum
speed)
To increase the speed:
Move the speed adjusting dial (4) in the plus
direction.
To decrease the speed:
Move the speed adjusting dial (4) in the minus
direction.
6.3 Routing
•
To avoid damage to the router, make sure
there are no foreign objects attached to the
workpiece.
•
Hold the router's handle.
•
Place the cordless router with fixed base on
the workpiece.
•
Set the routing depth as explained in section
5.5.
•
Select the speed as explained in section 6.2
and switch on the equipment (see section
6.1).
•
Test the equipment's settings on a scrap
piece of material.
•
Let the equipment reach full speed.
Cutting direction: The cutting tool turns
clockwise. To avoid accidents, you must always
cut against the direction in which the tool turns
(Fig. 16).
Feed speed: It is very important to machine
the workpiece at the correct feed speed. We
recommend that before you machine the actual
workpiece, you carry out several trial cuts on a
scrapped piece of the same material. This is the
easiest way to fi nd the best working speed for the
workpiece.

Feed speed too low:
The router bit might overheat. If you are cutting
infl ammable material such as wood, the
workpiece might ignite.
Feed speed too high:
The router bit might become damaged. Cutting
quality: rough and uneven.
Allow the router bit to come to a complete
standstill before removing the workpiece or
putting down the router.
6.4 Cutting circles with the compass point
(18)
Proceed as follows to cut circles around a
centerpoint:
•
Fit and adjust the compass point (18) as
explained in section 5.3.
•
Place the compass point (18) on the center-
point of the circle you want to cut and press it
in place.
•
Perform the cut as described in section 6.3.
6.5 Making cuts with the edge guide (19)
Proceed as follows to cut along a straight outer
edge of a workpiece:
•
Fit the edge guide (19) as explained in
section 5.2.
•
Move the edge guide (19) along the outer
edge of the workpiece.
•
Perform the cut as explained in section 6.3.
6.6 Making cuts freehand
The cordless router can also be used without any
guides. You can use it freehand on creative jobs
such as the production of lettering.
•
Use a very flat router bit setting for this
purpose!
•
Check the direction in which the router bit is
turning while you machine the workpiece (Fig.
16).
6.7 Cutting shapes and edges (Fig. 17)
•
Special router bits with a guide ring can be
used for cutting shapes (16.1) and edges
(16.2).
•
Fit the router bit.
•
Carefully move the machine against the
workpiece.
•
Using gentle pressure, move the guide journal
or ball bearing (16.3) along the workpiece.
