head into theworkpiece.
CAUTION:
• Excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor
or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 15mm (19/32") at a
pass when cutting grooves with a 8mm (5/16")
diameterbit.
• When cutting grooves with a 20mm (25/32")
diamter bit, the depth of cut should not be more
than5mm(3/16") at apass.
• For extra deep grooving, make two or three passes
with progressively deeper bitsettings.
CAUTION:
• After long periods of working at low speeds, allow the
machine to cool down by running it for three minutes
at maximum speed, with noload.
All common routing tasks can be performed with the plunge
cut router on all types of wood and plastic:
‑ Grooving
‑ Rabbeting
‑ Recessing
‑ Veining
‑ Profiling
To prevent overload of the tool by using the wrong speed
selection, follow the reccommended settings below:
MATERIAL
CUTTER DIAMETER
10 ‑ 30 mm 30 ‑ 50 mm
SPEED SELECTION
Hardwood 7 ‑ 5 6 ‑ 2
Softwood 7 ‑ 6 7 ‑ 5
Chipboard Faced 7 ‑ 6 7 ‑ 4
Plastic 7 ‑ 5 7 ‑ 4
NOTE: Only carbide‑tipped cutters should be used on panels
faced with plastic laminates. The hard laminates will quickly dull
steelcutters.
NOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently clean
the columns of dust ordebris. If the plunging movement is not
moving as smooth as desired, lubricate the columns with a dry
teflonlubricant.
1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the
router such that the bit is directly over the place you will
becutting.
2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down into
the workpiece. DO NOT JAM THE ROUTERDOWN.
3. When the tool reaches the pre‑set depth, push the quick
release button
7
tolock.
4. When you have finished routing, push the plunge lock
lever
6
to unlock and let the spring lift the router directly
out of theworkpiece.
5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which
the cutter isrotating. Refer to Fig.L.

Connecting Dust Extraction Adaptor (Fig.K)
The dust extraction adaptor consists of a main section
32
, a
cover
33
, an extraction tube adaptor
34
, one extraction tube
screw
37
, two base screws
52
and two nuts
53
.
1. Slide the cover
33
onto the main section
32
until it clicks
intoplace.
2. Place the main section
32
on the base and secure with two
screws
52
and nuts
53
.
3. Remove screw
37
from the top of the router and use this
screw to assemble the extraction tube adaptor
34
to
therouter.
Connecting Dust Extractor Hose (Fig.P)

WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation.To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dustmask.
A dust extraction tube adaptor
34
is supplied with yourtool.
Vacuum hoses on most vacuum extractors will fit directly into
the dust extractionspout.

WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed
in compliance with the applicable directives regarding
dust emission when sawing wood.Vacuum hoses of most
common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extractionoutlet.
1. Connect a dust extractor hose
38
to the extraction tube
adaptor
34
using the DeWALT AirLocksystem.
NOTE: When using dust extraction, be sure that the dust extractor
is out of the way and secure so that it will not tip over or interfere
with the router or workpiece. The dust extractor hose and power
cord must also be positioned so that they do not interfere with
the router or workpiece. If the dust extractor or dust extractor
hose cannot be positioned properly, it should beremoved.
