Dewalt DCW600B Instruction Manual - Page 17

WARNING: Always follow the bit manufacturer's speed recommendations as some bit designs require specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer. This router is equipped with a variable speed dial 4 with 7 speeds between 16000 and 25500 RPM. Adjust the speed by turning the variable speed dial 4 . NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting. In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool damage. The compact routers are equipped with electronics to monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting. SPEED SELECTION CHART* DIAL SETTING APPROX.

Worklights will remain on 20 seconds after the on/off switch is moved to the off position. NOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight. NOTE: If worklights flash, check the charge on the battery; it could be low. If they still flash with a charged battery, the unit should be taken to a service center for evaluation. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week.
