Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

2. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

Router safety warnings

1. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces only, because the cutter may contact 

its own cord.

 Cutting a "live" wire may make 

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and 

could give the operator an electric shock.

2. 

Use clamps or another practical way to secure 

and support the workpiece to a stable plat-

form.

 Holding the work by your hand or against 

the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of 

control.

3. 

The cutter bit shank must match the designed 

collet chuck.

4. 

Only use a bit that is rated at least equal to the 

maximum speed marked on the tool.

5. 

Wear hearing protection during extended 

period of operation.

6. 

Handle the router bits very carefully.

7. 

Check the router bit carefully for cracks or 

damage before operation. Replace cracked or 

damaged bit immediately.

8. 

Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all 

nails from the workpiece before operation.

9. 

Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

10. 

Keep hands away from rotating parts.

11. 

Make sure the router bit is not contacting the 

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

12. 

Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, 

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or 

wobbling that could indicate improperly 

installed bit.

13. 

Be careful of the router bit rotating direction 

and the feed direction.

14. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 

only when hand-held.

15. 

Always switch off and wait for the router bit to 

come to a complete stop before removing the 

tool from workpiece.

16. 

Do not touch the router bit immediately after 

operation; it may be extremely hot and could 

burn your skin.

17. 

Do not smear the tool base carelessly with 

thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may 

cause cracks in the tool base.

18. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier 

safety data.

19. 

Always use the correct dust mask/respirator 

for the material and application you are work-

ing with.

20. 

Place the tool on stable area. 

Otherwise falling 

accident may occur and cause an injury.

21. 

Keep cord away from your foot or any objects.

 

Otherwise an entangled cord may cause a falling 

accident and result in personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

 

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity 

with product (gained from repeated use) replace 

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject 

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety 

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause 

serious personal injury.

1.

  Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock 

lever and lower the tool body until the router bit just 

touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock 

the tool body.

2.

  Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclock-

wise. Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact 

with the adjusting hex bolt. Align the depth pointer with 

the "0" graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the 

scale by the depth pointer.

3.

  While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the 

stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. 

Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning 

the adjusting knob (1 mm per turn).

4.

  By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, 

you can fasten the stopper pole firmly.

5.

  Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be 

obtained by loosening the lock lever and then lowering 

the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact with 

the adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.
