m)
Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for a while.
Vibration could indicate an improperly installed bit
n)
Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed
o)
Keep your hands away from the routing area and router bit cutter.
Hold
the auxiliary handle or an insulated gripping surface with your second hand
p)
NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
q)
Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
r)
Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet
lock position
s)
The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least as high as
the maximum speed of the power tool
t)
Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation.
Do not handle
immediately after use to avoid risk of burns
u)
Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible materials
v)
The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched to the exact
same size collet fitted to the router.
Incorrectly fitted router cutter/bits will
rotate irregularly and have increased vibration that could lead to loss of control
w)
DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch the tool into
bit change mode while the router is operating
x)
Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece, allowing the
router bit cutter to dictate the speed of cut.
DO NOT force the tool and
overload the motor
y)
Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain clear to read
and are replaced if marked or damaged
z)
When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit cutter stalling
in the workpiece and causing loss of control.
Always ensure the router is
firmly held and the on/off switch is immediately released in such
circumstances
• After switching on the router, check the router bit is rotating evenly (not
‘wobbling’) and there is no additional vibration due to the router bit
being incorrectly fitted.
Operating the router with an incorrectly fitted router
bit can lead to loss of control and severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a diameter
greater than 2" (50mm).
Use very slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow
cuts to avoid overloading the motor
• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete
standstill before removing the machine from the workpiece
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic.
Some materials
may be chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and
composite materials may contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain
lead and other chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from
operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes and do not allow
the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption of harmful chemicals. Where
possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust
extraction system where possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure,
it is more critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of
personal protection is used.
Intended Use
Portable mains-powered multipurpose cutter to be used with 4.6mm shank/
mandrel accessories for slot cutting, edge forming, edge trimming and hinge
mortising in natural and composite wood.

Angle adjustment
• To adjust the angle of the Motor Housing (12) relative to the Handle position,
depress the Angle Adjustment Button (11) and move the Motor Housing to the
desired position using the Handle
• The Handle will move into positions of 0°, 45°, and 90° relative to the Motor
Housing, and will ‘click’ into position
