to the required depth it is essential that the depth setting
lock lever be locked TIGHTLY into the locked position.

If making a deep cut, it is advisable to make more than one
pass to achieve the desired depth.  The depth of cut achievable
with each pass depends greatly on the size of the bit and the
material being worked. Excessive depth of cut will unduly labour
the motor, place excessive strain on the bit, make the Router
more difficult to control and significantly reduce the quality of
the cut being made.

The triple depth set block can be used to assist in making
multiple passes, particularly when working on more than one
piece of material. If the final depth of cut is set using the shortest
of the three threaded bolts, the two longer bolts can be set to
two appropriately shallower depths. Using the block in this
manner removes the necessity for resetting the depth set pole
for each pass.

 ROUTING

1. Be sure the work piece is clamped or otherwise firmly

secured.

2. Switch on the Router and allow the motor to come up to the

full selected speed.

3. Plunge the bit down into the work piece to the set depth and

firmly lock it in place with the lock lever.

4. Holding the tool firmly with both hands, progress smoothly

through the cut until complete.

5. Release the lock lever and allow the bit to come free of the

work piece before removing the Router.

 TRIMMING (Fig 8)

1. You must select a bit that has a bearing attached.

2. When trimming follow Router directions.

3. To sight work easier, dust extractor might need to be

removed.

4. NOTE: If the edge where your bearing is running along is

laminated or veneered, run some masking tape along it to
protect the surface.

5. The bearing changes the distance trimmed. Different bearing

size are available from your retailer.

6. Always check that the trimming bit blade does not damage

other surfaces.

 DIRECTION OF FEED

The Router motor, and therefore the bit, revolves in a clockwise
direction. This gives the tool a tendency to twist counter
clockwise in your hands, particularly when starting the tool.  The
router bits are designed to use this clockwise rotation to assist
in the cutting and clearing of the material. Therefore when using
