Cutter Speed Selection
The greater the diameter of the cutter, the slower the rotational speed. This is in order to
produce as constant speed as possible at the cutting edge.
Recommendations for this Router are as follows, for soft wood:
Diameter
Speed Setting
Speed
Up to 25mm ............................. 6 .............................. 21,600RPM
25 - 35mm ............................... 5 .............................. 21,000RPM
25 - 50mm ............................... 4 .............................. 18,000RPM
50 - 65mm ............................... 3 .............................. 16,000RPM
65 - 75mm ............................... 2 .............................. 12,000RPM
Over 75mm .............................. 1 ............................... 7,400RPM
Only use cutters of the correct shank diameter and are suitable for the max.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Router is overheating
This indicates the machine is dirty. Clean the ventilation holes, and blow out with compressed
air or clean with a dry cloth.
Overloading the machine will also cause overheating. Do not use for heavy duty work, and
do not apply excessive pressure.
Excessive sparking occurs
This indicates worn brushes. This problem is quickly remedied but you should consult your
CLARKE dealer for parts and advice.
Router does not operate when switched ON
Check to ensure the fuse is sound and replace if necessary. If the fuse is sound or blows
repeatedly, consult your CLARKE dealer.
MAINTENANCE
Always inspect the tool before use, and ensure it is in top condition.
Ensure all air vents are clear, (use compressed air to clean the machine where possible).
Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks, bare wires etc. avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from
the various types of commercial solvents.
All bearings etc., in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the
tools lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further lubrication is required.
Dust Extraction
The Router is provided with a dust extraction outlet, where a vacuum extractor may be
connected. An adapter is provided for this purpose. Please note however, that this does
not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to prevent the inhalation of dust particles.
It is an EU requirement that a dust extraction facility be provided on power tools, however,
due to the nature of the tool, some of the dust produced will be forced into the surrounding
atmosphere, and will not be collected. Always therefore wear a face mask.
