Sears 315.17473 - Manual (Page 4)

Your electronic router is a versatile woodworking tool which will give you years of frouble-free performance. It Is engineered
with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows the amateur to prcxiuce work which is beautiful and precise.
Your new router has advanced electronic features which are designed to assist you in getting the maximum use from your
router. By making proper speed selections, your router can be adjusted to your specfic routing needs. This eliminates much
of the guess work previously needed to perform a given job. Both the experiencfld and inexperienced router users benefit,
obtaining professional like results with fewer job errors.
The electronic feature of your router introduces the flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to the required job conditions.
Speed can be set according to the approximate cutter diameter you will be using and to the hardness of the material being
cut. Also, the best cuts are made when the cutter is fed through the material at the proper rate. When possible, you should
make practice cuts on a scrap piece of wood to get a ’feel" of how fast to “feed" your router.

"LOCK-ON“ BUTTON
The switch of your router is equipped with a "lock-on" feature which is convenient when operating for extended periods of
time. To lock on, depress the trigger, push in the lock button located on the side of the handle, then while holding the lock
button pushed in, release the trigger. To release the lock, depress the trigger and release it. See Figure 1.
VARIABLE SPEED
Your router has a variable speed control selector designed to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. See Figure
i. To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed control selector to a higher setting. Turn to a lower
setting to decrease speed and torque. NOTE: If you do not want to use the variable speed control selector, turn to the highest
possible setting, and the feature will not be active.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR ROUTER TO MAKE YOU CARELESS. REMEMBER
THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
