CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see

that the tool is switched off.

• Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of

operator comfort during extended use. Apply

caution when locking tool in "ON" position and

maintain firm grasp on tool.

To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON)

position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O

(OFF) position.

Speed adjusting dial

For model RP1101 only

003666

The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed

adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.

Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the

direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained

when it is turned in the direction of number 1.

This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum

material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly

adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.

Refer to the table for the relationship between the

number settings on the dial and the approximate tool

speed.

CAUTION:

• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds

for a long time, the motor will get overloaded,

resulting in tool malfunction.

• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far

as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or

the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the

tool.

Installing or removing the bit

003671

CAUTION:

• Use always a collet which is suitable for the shank

diameter of the bit.

• Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting a

bit, or the collet chuck will break.

• When using bit of bigger than 1-1/4" in diameter,

install base plate with center hole diameter 2-1/2",

replacing the original base plate.

Insert the bit all the way into the collet chuck and

withdraw it very slightly ( approx. 2mm;1/16" ). Then

tighten the collet chuck securely with the two wrenches.

These routers accommodate the bits with 1/2" diameter

shank. When using the 1/4" diameter shank bit, replace

the equipped collet chuck with the one for 1/4" diameter

shank bit which is provided as the standard accessory.

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in

reverse.

OPERATION

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the

bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait

until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body with

pressing the lock lever down. Release the lock lever at

the lowest position and push it further to lock the tool

body securely. Move the tool forward over the

workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and

advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should

be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.
