When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
TRIM ROUTER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
BE AWARE OF BLADES.
Keep all hands away from moving router blades.
2.
CHECK BLADES FOR DAMAGE.
Replace any cracked or damaged blades before
turning machine on.
3.
WATCH FOR NAILS WHEN TRIMMING WOOD.
Check stock for stray nails, brads,
staples etc. Remove from stock before operating. Do not under any circusmstances,
allow blades to come into contact with metal fasteners.
4.
HOLD TOOL FIRMLY DURING OPERATION.
5.
DO NOT TOUCH MOVING PARTS.
6.
TOOL MUST BE UNDER NO LOAD WHEN TURNING ON.
Allow machine to come to
full speed to determine if there is any problem with the blade rotation before beginning
project.
7.
DO NOT LEAVE TOOL RUNNING.
Always turn tool off between projects when finished,
or when breaking from work.
8.
REMOVE WORKPIECE BEFORE TURNING OFF THE POWER.
9.
CAUTION! BIT IS HOT UNDER NORMAL USAGE CONDITIONS.
Do not touch bit
after project is complete. Allow bit to cool before handling.
INSERTING BITS:
CAUTION!
Always unplug tool before changing bits. Always allow tool to come to a
complete stop and allow sufficient cooling time for bits before removing.
1. Insert bit as deep as possible into conic chuck.
2. Tighten not on chuck with wrenches.
Warning! Do not tighten the chuck nut unless bit is inserted doing so will damage chuck.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:
STRAIGHT ENGRAVING AND TRIMMING:
1. Place tool on a flat and even surface.
2. Loosen butterfly screw (23) and move the tool body down until bit touches surface.
Tighten screw until holder no longer moves freely but is still adjustable.
3. Adjust cutting depth by moving holder (10) down according to ruling gauge. Never
adjust cut more than 1/8” cut in increment of 1/8” cut in increments of 1/8”.
Tighten butterly screw firmly.
1. Use the straight conductor (1-6) when cutting straight edges and engraving straigh
grooves.
2. Loosen konb (34) and slide straight conductor onto groove. Tighten knob.
3. Flat edge of straight conductor should be facing tool body and be positioned lower
than the holder’s base.
4. Loosen butterfly nut (1) and adjust straight conductor to desined distance. Keep
straight conductor firmly against stock during operation.
CIRCULAR ENGRAVING:
1. Circular engraving is accomplished by using the straight conductor in conjunction with
a small nail. Circles between a 2-3/4” and 8-11/16” radius can be cut.
2. The straight conductor is equipped with two holes and an adjustment plate (4). With
the adjustment plate on the bottom, insert the screw (6) through the plate and then
through one of the two holes on the straight conductor.
3. For circles with a radius from 2-3/4” to 4-3/4”, insert screw through second hold (hold
futhest away from tool body when conductor is attached). For circles with a radius
from 4-3/4” to 8-11/16” insert screw through the first hole.
4. Put split washer (3) and then flat washer (2) onto screw. Faster with butterfly nut (1).
5. Cutting too fast will result in poor quality cuts and may damage bit or motor. Moving
too slowly will also make bad cuts. Each bits specifications vary so it’s best to try out
different bits on surplus stock before cutting workpiece to determine their capabilities.
OPERTATING INSTRUCTION
GENERAL CUTTING:
1. Always allow bit to come to full speed before it touches the stock.
2. Always move router in a forward direction.
3. Always make sure that bit is moving in a clockwise direction.
4. Keep workpiece on the left.
