WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands, body
and cord away from the bit and all moving
parts.
Before plugging the tool into a power outlet,
make sure the on/off switch is in the "O"
position.
Starting and Stopping Router Motor
For Cat. No. 5615-20, 5616-20 and 5625-20:
1. To start the motor, place the router so the bit
is away from you and not in contact with the
workpiece. Grasp the tool fi rmly and push the
On/Off switch to the "I" position.
2. To stop the motor, place the router so the bit is
away from you and push the On/Off switch to
the "O" position. Hold the tool until the bit stops
turning.
For Cat. No. 5619-20:
1. Push the On/Off switch to the "I" position.
2. To start the motor, place the router so the bit
is away from you and not in contact with the
workpiece. Grasp the tool fi rmly and pull the
trigger.
3. To stop the motor, release the trigger.
Locking the D-handle Base Trigger
The lock button holds the trigger in the ON position
for continuous use (Fig. 17).
Lock button

1. To lock the trigger, hold in the lock button while
pulling the trigger. Release the trigger.
2. To unlock the trigger, pull the trigger and release.
The lock button will pop out.
NOTE: D-handle base does not fi t Cat.No.5625-20.
Electronic Overload Protection
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
These tools are equipped with an electronic over-
load protection feature.
If the motor shuts off during use, remove the bit
from the workpiece and push the On/Off switch
to the "O" position for three (3) seconds. This will
reset the electronics in the tool. The tool can then
be restarted.
Using the Variable Speed Dial
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The variable speed dial allows the user to adjust
the rotating speed (RPM) of the tool.
Variable speed dial settings range from numbers (7)
seven through (1) one. Higher numbers correspond
to higher speeds and lower number correspond to
lower speeds.
To change the speed, set the variable speed control
dial to the desired number (Fig 18).
Fig. 18
Soft Start
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The Soft-Start feature reduces the amount of torque
reaction to the tool and the user. This feature gradu-
ally increases the motor speed up from zero to the
speed set by the variable speed dial.
Feedback Control
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The electronic speed control system allows the tool
to maintain constant speed between no-load and
load conditions.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always wear eye protection.
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric
shock and property damage, always check
the work area for hidden pipes and wires
before routing.
Making the Cut
Before cutting, check that all adjustments are tight
and the locking lever is fully closed and secure.
The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on
the type of material being worked. Keep the cutting
pressure constant but do not use excessive force
on the router so the motor speed slows excessively.
It may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods
or problem materials to make more than one pass
to get the desired depth of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece,
make a sample cut on a scrap piece of lumber.
This will show you exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions. Always be
sure the workpiece is secure before routing. When
routing edges, the router should be held fi rmly down
and against the work using handles.
Since the cutter rotates clockwise, more effi cient
cutting will be obtained if the router is moved from
left to right as you stand facing the work. The ar-
rows on the base of the tool indicate the direction
of bit rotation. When working on the outside of an
edge, move router in a counterclockwise direction
(Fig. 19).

When working on an inside edge, move the router
in a clockwise direction (Fig. 20).

Direction
of feed
Moving the router in the opposite direction is known
as "climb cutting."
WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, avoid "climb cutting." Climb cutting
increases the potential for loss of control
of the tool and damage to the workpiece. If
climb cutting can not be avoided, use extreme
caution.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, do not use a plunge base router
if the motor does not rise automatically
when the plunge release lever is pressed.
Plunge Cutting
1. Set the depth of cut.
2. Securely clamp the workpiece.
3. Press the plunge release lever and raise the bit
so it does not contact the workpiece.
4. Hold the handles securely and turn on the mo-
tor. Wait for the motor to reach full speed (or the
speed indicated by the variable speed dial).
5. Press the plunge release lever and slowly lower
the bit into the workpiece until the depth stop rod
contacts the turret. Release the plunge release
lever.
6. Begin moving the router, keeping the sub-base
fl at on the workpiece. Keep the cord and dust
collection hose out of the path of the router.
7. When fi nished, press the plunge release lever
and raise the bit out of the workpiece. Turn the
motor off and wait for the bit to stop turning.
