5.2 Variable Speed Control

The router has 6 variable speed settings, ranging from 10,000 to 32,000 RPM. Adjust the speed dial according to the material and router bit being used. Lower speeds are generally suitable for larger bits and harder materials, while higher speeds are for smaller bits and softer materials.

5.3 Using Different Bases and Guides

Select the appropriate base for your task:

• Fixed Base: Ideal for edge trimming, small grooving, and general routing where a consistent depth is required.
• Plunge Base: Best for creating deep slots, mortises, or when starting a cut in the middle of a workpiece. Allows for controlled entry and exit of the bit.
• Tilt Base: Used for bevel cutting and creating angled edges or profiles.
