Speed Control; Fine Height Adjuster; Fixing Points - TREND T5 Manual

Setting the Electronic Speed
Control Dial
The speed is infinitely variable from 9,000 to 27,000
rpm (for 240 volt routers) using the electronic speed
control dial (1) for uniform cutting results in all types
of wood, plastics and in aluminium.
■ Turn the electronic speed control dial to the
required level. The dial is numbered from 1 to 5
and corresponds to router speeds from 9,000
rpm to 27,000 rpm (for 240 volt routers).
■ Generally, use the lower settings for large
diameter cutters and the higher settings for small
diameter cutters. The correct setting will also
depend on the density of the material, depth of
cut and feed speed of the router, as severe loss
of rpm denotes motor overload. In most cases
the slowest speed required for large cutters with
smaller shank sizes is Dial No 3-4.
Fitting the Fine Height Adjuster
Optional Accessory Ref. FHA/001
The optional fine height adjuster should be used
when fine adjustment is required. This is
especially recommended when using our
dovetail jig or router table.
■ Remove the depth stop and replace it with the

fine height adjuster.

■ Leave the plunge locking grip knob and the
thumb knob loose and thread the end of the
fine height adjuster onto the longest screw.
■ Set the depth of cut by turning the fine height
adjuster handle until the correct height is
reached. Then lock the carriage clockwise
with the plunge locking grip knob.
Remember to always unlock the
carriage by turning the plunge locking
grip knob anti-clockwise when
adjusting the height with the fine
adjuster.
Fixing Points for Accessories
The router has two threaded holes M6 in its
base that allow fitting of accessories and also
fitting to router tables.
A whole range of accessories are shown in the
Trend Routing Catalogue.
