FINE HEIGHT ADJUSTER
It is used to precisely control the depth of the cutter.
1. To use the ne height adjuster, ensure that the plunge
lock is released.
2. Rotate the knob clockwise to raise the cutter,
anticlockwise to lower the cutter.
3. When the desired position is reached, re-engage the
plunge lock before use.
FINE HEIGHT ADJUSTER QUICK RELEASE BUTTON
This disengages the ne height adjuster allowing large
adjustments of plunge depth to be quickly made.
1. To make large adjustments to cutter height, ensure
that the plunge lock is released.
2. Press the quick release button whilst plunging the
router to the required height.
3. Release the button, check the height, make ne
adjustments if necessary with the ne height adjuster,
then re-engage the plunge lock before use.
DEPTH OF CUT
As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important
because it affects the rate of feed that, in turn, affects the
quality of the cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to
your router motor and bit). A deep cut requires a slower
feed than a shallow one, and a too deep cut will cause you
to slow the feed so much that the bit is no longer cutting,
it is scraping, instead.
Making a deep cut is never advisable. The smaller bits are
easily broken off when subjected to too much side thrust.
A large enough bit may not be broken, but if the cut is too
deep, a rough cut will result, and it may be very dif cult to
guide and control the bit as desired. For these reasons, we
recommend that you do not exceed 1/8 in (3.2 mm) depth
of cut in a single pass, regardless of the bit size or the
softness or condition of the workpiece.
To make deeper cuts it is therefore necessary to make as
many successive passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8
in (3.2 mm) for each new pass. In order to save time, do all
the cutting necessary at one depth setting, before lowering
the bit for the next pass. This will also assure a uniform
depth when the nal pass is completed.
LIVE TOOL INDICATOR
This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as
soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the
user that the tool is connected and will operate when the
switch is pressed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on
berglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the berglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc.. Consequently, we do not
recommended that this tool be used for extended work on
these types of materials. If, however, you do work with any
of these materials, it is extremely important that you clean
the tool frequently by blowing it with an air jet.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
suf cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
CUTTERS
Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch
and gum from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance
angle the same as originally ground.
