after the coarse adjustment lock is locked. Rotating
the fine adjustment knob counterclockwise causes
the depth rod to move up, producing a deeper cut.
Rotating the fine adjustment knob clockwise causes
the depth rod to move down, producing a shallower
cut.
The fine adjustment indicator(23) can be moved
independently of the fine adjustment knob.
This allows the indicator ring to be zeroed at any
given depth. After zeroing, when the knob is rotated,
the indicator turns with it, indicating the fine change
in the depth of cut (in mm). Fine depth adjustment
in increments as small as 0.04mm is possible. The
maximum setting range is ±2.5mm.
7. vaRIabLe SPeed CoNtRoL SwItCh (See fig.j)
The variable speed control switch allows you to vary
the speed of the router enabling the optimum speed
to be selected for various size of router bits and
to avoid the workpiece being burnt, this can occur
especially when cross cutting. The speed increases
as you turn the switch towards the higher numbers
and decreases on the lower numbers (1 being slowest
and 6 fastest).

Note: before starting work make sure workpiece is
firmly secured.
a) Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress lock off button, then on/off
switch and release lock off button. Your switch
is now on. To switch off, just release the on/off
switch.
Release switch and lock lever, allow router to return to
top starting position. Let the router stop fully before
removing from workpiece.
Note: Stop the router before adjusting the variable
speed.
9. dIReCtIoN of feed (See fig.M,N)
The router rotates in a clockwise direction, as a
consequence the router must be moved left to right as you
face the workpiece and anti-clockwise for outside edges.
10. Rate of feed
It is important to move the router at the correct speed
through the work. The incorrect speed may produce
a poor quality cut. Moving too fast can cause bit
damage and a rough uneven cut.
A too slow speed can cause the wood to burn and the
bit to overheat. The rate of feed will vary depending on
the size of bit, material and router speed. To determine
the best speed always practice on a small unseen area
or a spare piece of the same material first.
11. uSINg the RouteR fReehaNd
The router can be used without any of the guides
allowing creative freehand work, such as signwriting
(See Fig. L). Use this feature only with a shallow depth
of cut.
Note: as the router rotates in a clockwise direction
always move the tool in a left to right direction as you
stand facing your work (See Fig. M, N).
When cutting an outside edge move the router anti-
clockwise; and clockwise to cut an inside edge.
12. fIttINg the PaRaLLeL guIde(See fig. o,P)
Before using the parallel guide you will need to
assemble the guide shafts (A) and the base (B).
Remove the two screws(C), washers (D) and spring
washers (E) from the end of the two shafts (A). Fit
the guide base (B) to the shafts (A) with the washers
(D&E) and screws (C) you removed. Tighten screws
securely.
Insert the shafts (A) into the grooves in the base of the
router. Adjust the guide to the required cutting width
and tighten the two parallel guide locking screws.
CIRCuLaR CutS (See fig.Q,R)
The centering pin allows you to make circular cuts.
