to remove chip shield, squeeze the tabs on each end and pull

outward. To replace, squeeze the tabs at each end, fit into
opening, then release. NOTE: Model No. 315.175060 has a
chip shield on the front and rear opening of the router base.

For your protection, do not use router without chip

shield(s) properly in place.

If desired, the horsepower label

can be removed from chip shield by simply peeling off.

WRENCH STORAGE AREA

Your router has a wrench storage area located on the top end
cap portion of the motor housing. When installing or removing
cutters, remove the wrench from its storage area. Proper

storage of wrench when not in use will help reduce the

possibility of losing wrench.

VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH WITH ELECTRONIC

SPEED CONTROL

(MODEL NOS. 315.175050 AND 315.175060 ONLY)

See Figures 1b and 1c.

Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to
assist you in getting the maximum use from your router. By

making proper speed selections, your router can be adjusted

to specific routing needs. This eliminates much of the guess

work previously needed to perform a given job. Both the
experienced and inexperienced router users benefit,
obtaining professional like results with fewer job errors.

The variable speed control allows the router speed to be
adjusted from 15,000 to 25,000 rpm. The variable speed
control selector is conveniently located outside the right

handle near the operator's thumb or hand.

Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter
diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the
material being cut. The best cuts are made when the cutter
is fed through material at the proper rate of feed.

DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

(MODEL NO. 315.175060 ONLY)

See Figure 1c.

The dust bag located on the side of your router provides a
dust collection system for your router. For more efficient
operation, empty dust bag when half full.

Do not connect router to power supply before installing dust
bag or connecting it to a dust collection system.

being thrown into your face and eyes, never attempt to
use your router without dust bag properly installed.
Sawdust or foreign objects being thrown into your face or
eyes could result in possible serious injury.

TO INSTALL DUST BAG:

The dust bag should be installed by slipping it with a twisting

motion over the blower exhaust. The bag should be installed

with the zipper down when router is in upright position.

TO EMPTY DUST BAG:

Remove dust bag from router, open zipper and shake out
dust. Occasionally turn the dust bag inside out and brush the
accumulation of dust from the inside of the bag. This will

allow the air to flow through the bag better.
