Router User Manual

USING THE OPTIONAL ABOVE-TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTER

The Above-Table Height Adjuster is an

accessory that allows the operator to raise or

lower the router, mounted in a shaper table,

without reaching under the table. To install

the Height Adjuster, drill a hole in the table at

the location indicated on the templet,

located in the back of this manual. Place the

Height adjustor in the hole. The Height

Adjuster shaft has a recessed hex that mates

with a hex on the threaded shaft inside the

left plunge post. To use, turn the knob

clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to

lower. Each complete turn of the knob moves

the motor 1/8".

The Height Adjuster can also be used for quick depth setting during normal

routing when not using a table.

TO START AND STOP THE ROUTER

Make sure power circuit voltage is the same

as that shown on the specification plate of

the tool, and that the switch is “OFF”.

Connect the router to the power source.

Hold the tool in the operating position. Use

the index finger on your right hand to raise

the switch (A) Fig. 21 to the “ON” position.

The tool will remain “ON” until you lower the

switch (A).

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

This router is equipped with a variable speed control. The speed range is

10,000 to 23,000 RPM.

The speed is adjusted by turning the control knob (L) Fig. 9. The speed control

knob is labeled 1 through 4.The slowest speed (1) is 10,000 RPM, and the

highest speed (4) is 23,000 RPM. Setting 2 is approximately 14,000 RPM and

setting 3 is approximately 18,000 RPM.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

MODEL 8529 is equipped with a current sensing-type overload protector built

into the variable speed control. This device will “trip” and turn the motor off if

it experiences prolonged overloading. To restart the motor, move the “ON-

OFF” switch to the “OFF” position, and then move it back to the “ON”

position.

USING THE ROUTER
