MOUNTING TEMPLATE GUIDE (Fig. 13&14)

The template guide can be fitted to the router base to accurately 
duplicate  curves  and  other  complex  shapes. These  shapes 
can be easily made by using a jigsaw to cut out the required 
designs.    

     
      

Place the template guide in the recess provided in the 

base and tighten screws.

  

       

       

 

The guide protrudes below the bottom of the base allowing 

the router to follow the template.

 

      

A template must be securely fixed to the work piece and a 

firm pressure applied to the router at all times to ensure that 
the edge of the guide accurately follows the template.

ROUTING (Fig. 15)

For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your 
router has two handles, one on each side of the router base. 
When using your router, hold it firmly with both hands.
Before starting the router, unplug it and make sure the cutter 
is  securely  tightened  in  collet  nut  and  that  depth  of  cut  is 
properly set.
Plug router into power supply, turn it on and let motor build 
to  its  full  speed,  then  gradually  plunge  or  feed  cutter  into 
workpiece.  Do  not  let  the  cutter  contact  workpiece  before 
turning on the router and allowing it to develop full speed.
Remain alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate 
router when fatigued or under the influence of drugs, alcohol 
or any medication.
