Using the pattern guide (see Fig. 7)
The pattern guide can be used to produce
a cut-out shape (such as a letter) from a
pattern.
• Secure the pattern over the workpiece
using double-sided tape or “G” clamps.
• The router bit must extend below the
flange of the pattern guide to produce a
cut in the shape of the pattern.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or performing any
maintenance, make sure the router
has been disconnected from its pow-
er supply. Keep all ventilation open-
ings clean. Avoid using solvents to
clean plastic parts. Most plastics are
vulnerable to damage from commer-
cial solvents. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, oil and grease.
WARNING: Prevent brake
fluid, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating
oil, etc., from coming into
contact with plastic parts.
These substances contain
chemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
WARNING: To ensure
safety and reliability, make
sure that all repairs are per-
formed by a qualified ser-
vice technician.
• Regularly clean the air vents in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any
abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL USE
• Rotate the tool counter-clockwise when
working on outer edges. Rotate the tool
clockwise when working on inner edges.
• Use HSS (high speed steel) router
bits for softwood.
• Use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) router
bits for hardwood.
• No guide is required for use of the tool. This
is useful for writing signs and performing
creative work. Only make shallow cuts.
• Refer to the following table for common
types of router bits.
