1. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains
‐
operated (corded) power tool or
battery
‐
operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE
:
The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB).
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non
‐
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
‐
position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust
‐
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” should shock the operator.
2. Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail
can cause the bit and the tool to jump and damage the bit.
3. Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when in use. Never place
hands near or below cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with both hands is
safer.
4. Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces, like concrete, stone, ect protruding cutting bit may
cause tool to jump.
5. Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal
safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
6. After changing the bit or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjust-
ment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control; loss-rotating components will be violently thrown.
7. Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the
material causing loss of control of the cutter.
8. Always hold the tool with two hands during start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can cause
the tool to twist.
9. The direction of feeding the bit into the material is very important and it relates to the direction of
bit rotation. When viewing the tool form the top, the bit rotates clockwise. Feed direction of cutting
must be counter-clockwise . NOTE: inside and outside cuts will require different feed direction, refer
to section on feeding the router. Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of
the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
10. Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap
during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.
11. Never touch the bit during or immediately after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be touched
by bare hands.
12. Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill. The spinning bit can
grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
13. Never use bits that have a cutting diameter greater than the opening in the base.
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some exam-
ples of these chemicals are: Lead form lead-based paints, Crystalline silica form bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and Arsenic and chromium form chemically treated lumber.
Your risk form these exposures vary, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
you exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Dust extraction outlet (Fig. 7&8)
It is advised to use the dust extraction outlet. You can purchase a suitable commercial
vacuum cleaner or extract the dust via an extractor tube while the cutting machine is in
operation. The outlet must project out of the rear of the machine. Two bolts and nuts are
supplied to attach it. Hold the extractor outlet in position and lay the cutting machine on its side.
Put the screw through the hole of the template guide and router’s baseplate until it projects at the
fastening point for the extractor outlet, Tighten the screw with a suitable screwdriver and moderate
force until the outlet is securely attached. Repeat the procedure at the other side.
CAUTION: Dust may cause respiratory problems. Certain laminated board materials are
carcinogenic. After work, always remove all dust from the machine.
6. OPERATION
Cutting in several operations (Fig. 9)
The length
‐
stop turret(8) can be used to set different depths.
For cutting in depth or in stages, use the length
‐
stop turret as an aid. Using the depth stop(9) with
scale label , set the desired depth to the lowest depth
‐
stop position on the turret. Rotate the turret
so that the highest point is under the depth stop and execute the first cut. Repeat the cut with the
second
‐
highest setting and finally with the last setting. You also can use two positions if the desired
depth can be reached in two operations.
Cutting direction(Fig. 10)
Caution: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
Always move your router as indicated (outer edges/inner edges).
To prevent the cutter head from jumping and to obtain a good result, carry out exterior cuts in
anticlockwise and interior cuts in clockwise direction.
NOTE:
-
Check that the bit is correctly installed in the collet.
-
Place the machine on the workpiece before switching on.
-
Select the optimal speed by the speed control dial.
-
Set the cutting depth.
-
For greater cutting depths it is recommended to make shallow cuts.
-

which runs too fast causes scorching of the workpiece and leaves burnt marks.
CAUTION: Do not change the speed when the machine is working under load. Using the dust
exhaust connection The dust exhaust connection together with an external vacuum cleaner to take
away the dust in dust cover.
If necessary, place an adapter on the dust exhaust.
Checking and replacing the carbon brushes(Fig. 13)
For safety reasons, the machine automatically switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out
that they no longer have contact with the motor. They must be replaced by a pair similar carbon
brush available through the after
‐
sales service organization or qualified professional person. Loosen
the carbon brush cap anti
‐
clockwise with using a screwdriver, open the cap and remove the old
carbon brushes. If they are 6 mm or less then they must both be replaced. Fit new carbon brushes
and close the cap.
After replaced new carbon brushes, let the machine run with no load for 15 minutes.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the power mains before removing any electrical
covers.
7. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, AND LUBRICATION
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose
hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical
wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
