FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut
CAUTION:
•
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of
the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the
depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm at
a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish
to cut grooves more than 15 mm deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.

Knob
Place the tool on a flat surface. Turn the scale ring until
it makes contact with the base. Loosen the knob. Turn
the scale ring until the bit just touches the flat surface.
Tighten the knob. Place the tool upside down and turn
the scale ring counterclockwise (when viewing the tool
from the top) until the desired depth of cut is obtained.
One full turn of the scale ring is equal to 5 mm change
in depth setting. Loosen the knob and move the tool
base until it makes contact with the scale ring. Then
tighten the knob securely.
Switch action
CAUTION:
•
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the “OFF” position when released.
•
Make sure that the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.

Lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing the bit
CAUTION:
•
Install the bit securely. Always use only the
wrench provided with the tool. A loose or over
-
tightened bit can be dangerous.
•
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a
bit or install smaller shank bits without using a
collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the
collet cone.

Shaft lock
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and with
-
draw it very slightly (approx. 2 mm). Press the shaft
lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the wrench to
tighten the collet nut securely. When using router bits
with smaller shank diameter, first insert the appropriate
collet sleeve into the collet cone, then install the bit as
described above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
OPERATION

Feed
direction
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the
bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward
over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush
and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.
NOTE:
•
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may
burn and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will
depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece
and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on
the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a
sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will
show exactly how the cut will look as well as
enable you to check dimensions.
•
When using the straight guide or the trimmer
guide, be sure to install it on the right side in the
feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with
the side of the workpiece.
