Variable speed control
Note: Router speed settings are not critical. Generally, the highest
speed that does not cause burn marks on the workpiece should
be used. Where stated, always follow the cutter manufacturers'
maximum speed limitations.
• Operating at reduced speed increases the risk of damage to the
router as a result of overload. Use very slow feed rates and/or
multiple shallow cuts.
• The Speed Controller (10) is marked 1 to 5, corresponding
approximately with the speeds and cutter diameters below. Turn
the dial to select the required speed.
