After longer periods of working at low speed, allow
the machine to cool down by running it for approx. 3
minutes at maximum speed with no load.

The values shown in the chart are standard values.
The necessary speed depends on the material and
the operating conditions, and can be determined by
practical testing.
Constant Speed Control and Soft Start
Constant speed control maintains the speed constant
at no-load and under most working conditions. Soft
start delays the increase in motor speed to reduce
the motor “kick” or torque effect to improve operator
comfort and safety.
4. SETTING THE DEPTH-OF-CUT
Depending on the cutting operation, the depth-of cut
can be preset in several steps.
Warning: The adjustment of the depth-of-
cut may only be carried out when the router is
switched off.
Coarse Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
Place the router on the work-piece to be machined.
Set the fine adjustment for depth-of-cut in the centre
position with fine-adjustment knob (1); Turn the
fine-adjustment knob until the markings (23) are in
