additional safety instructions
• Please check workpieces for any obstructions
on the surface of the material, such as
protruding nails etc., to protect the trimmer
head.
• Wait until the trimmer has come to a complete
stop before removing any blocked or routed
material around the cutter. Use a long stick for
this and never your finger.
• Please keep your hands away from the routing
surface.
• Immediately switch off the tool if it starts
producing any unusual noise or starts vibrating
excessively.
• Please check that all parts are secure, tools
are removed etc. before operation.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Your machine is double insulated,
therefore no earthwire is required.
• Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It
is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable
in the wall outlet.
• Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The
minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When
using a cable reel always unwind the reel
completely.
Prior to mounting an accessory always
unplug the tool.
Wait until the machine has come to a
complete standstill and the cutter has
cooled down before replacing a cutter.

Router bit selection
Depending on processing and application, router
bits are available in the most different designs and
qualities:
Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS) are
suitable for working with soft materials, e. g. soft
wood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g. hard
wood and aluminium.
Mounting and removing cutters
Fig. C
Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which
corresponds with the size of the collet. Only use
cutters which are suited for the maximum speed
of the machine. The cutter diameter should not
exceed the maximum diameter.
Never tighten the collet nut, if there is no router bit
in the collet; the collet may be damaged.
• Lock the spindle (7) by holding it with the small
spanner.
• Open the collet nut (6) using the big spanner.
• Place the cutter shaft in the collet.
• Tighten the collet nut so that the cutter is
locked properly.
• Open the collet nut (6) when you want to
replace a cutter.
adjusting the parallel guide
Fig. D1
The parallel guide is a useful tool for precision
routing at a fixed distance from the edge of the
workpiece or another ridge. This tool can also be
used to trim circles.
• Place the desired cutter in the tool.
• Slide the parallel guide (9) into the accessory
holder.
Mounting the template guide
Fig. D2
The template guide is a handy aid for cutting a
pattern when the template guide is mounted, you
can easily run it along a pre-cut template to cut
the material beneath in the same shape.
• Mount the template guide (11) on the trimmer
by removing the bottom plate and mounting
the template guide between the trimmer base
plate and the bottom plate.
