SOFT START FEATURE

Electronic feedback control minimizes torque
twist customary in larger routers by limiting the
speed at which motor starts.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size and
material hardness for improved finish,
extended bit life, and higher performance.
Speed changes are achieved by rotating the
Speed Control Dial clockwise to decrease
speed, counter-clockwise to increase speed
(Fig. 10). Speed may be changed while tool is
on. The reference numbers on the dial facilitate
re-setting control to desired speed.
