This kit includes the DW616M motor pack, a DW6184 fixed base, 1/4' and 1/2' collets, a sub - base concentricity gauge, two wrenches, and comes in a convenient kit box. The router features a 1 - 3/4 HP (maximum motor HP), 11.0 Amp motor, which offers enough power to smoothly rout through the toughest hardwoods. Its micro - fine depth adjustment ring allows for precise depth adjustments in 1/64' increments and can be adjusted vertically, keeping the switch and cordset in a constant position. The adjustable, tool - free steel motor cam lock enables quick and secure depth adjustment and base changes. Quick release motor latches make it easy to remove the motor pack for bit and base changes. The detachable cordset adds serviceability and eliminates the need for a'shorty' cord motor pack. A sub - base concentricity gauge is included to ensure bit concentricity and top - notch accuracy. The clear, LEXAN sub - base is durable, provides good bit visibility, and can accept standard template guide bushings. With rubber overmolded handles and a low center of gravity design, it offers excellent comfort, balance, and control during use. Specifications include 11.0 Amps, 1 - 3/4 HP, a no - load speed of 24500 RPM, a micro - fine depth adjustment ring as the depth stop, a base dimension of 6', and a weight of 7.1 lbs.
Using the DeWalt DW616K router kit is straightforward. First, make sure you have all the parts from the kit: the motor pack, fixed base, collets, wrenches, and other accessories. Attach the motor pack to the base using the motor latches. Then, insert the appropriate collet for your router bit. When adjusting the depth, use the micro - fine depth adjustment ring for precise settings. For different woodworking tasks, you can change the base or the bit easily with the quick - release latches and the tool - free cam lock. Remember to wear safety goggles and ear protection when using the router. Always keep your hands away from the rotating bit. Before starting a new project, test the router on a scrap piece of wood to ensure the depth and speed are correct. For maintenance, after each use, unplug the router and clean it with a soft brush to remove sawdust. Check the cordset regularly for any signs of damage. If the router isn't working properly, you can service the detachable cordset. Keep the router in a dry place to prevent rust and other damage.
