TEMPLATE GUIDE (Fig. 23)

The template guide (35) can be fitted to the base of the
router to accurately duplicate curves and other complex
shape. These shapes can be easily made by using a
jigsaw to cut out a template. Fix the guide to the base of
the router by removing the two screws retaining the
dust extraction port, placing the guide in the recess
provided in the base and replacing the screws. The dust
extraction port must be in place when fitting the guide to
hold the screws.

The guide protrudes below the bottom of the base
allowing the router to follow the template, which must be
securely fixed to the workpiece and a firm pressure
applied to the router at all times to ensure that the edge
of the guide accurately follows the template.

The template must be at least 5mm thick to allow for the
protrusion of the guide. Allowance must also be made in
the template for the distance between the cutting edge of
the bit and the outside edge of the template guide.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

The design of this tool provides for easy handling.
It is designed for comfor t and ease of grasp when
operating in different positions and at different angles.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your router has a precision built electric motor. It should
only be connected to a power supply of the type specified
on the rating plate of the machine, AC only. Do not
operate this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of
more than 10 percent will cause a loss of power and
overheating.
If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal par ts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.

WARNING

The double insulated system is intended to
protect the user from shock resulting from a
break in the tools internal wiring. Observe all
normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.

Important:

Servicing of a tool with double insulation

requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be perfor med only by a qualified ser vice
technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to
your nearest authorized service center for repair.

WARNING

Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with
this tool. Any such alteration or modification is
misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING

Your router should never be connected to power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing cutters, or
when not in use. Disconnecting your router will
prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
