1. Position the two Guide Rods (10) into the grooves in the top of the Base Plate (15)
2. Locate the Parallel Guide (1) onto the guide rods, so that it extends to the correct side of the

router for the cut that you intend to make

3. Slide the Parallel Guide to the required position relative to the cutter. The Measurement Bar (19)

can be clipped to the Guide Rod to help ensure accurate alignment. Ensure that the plastic pads

on the Parallel Guide are not in contact with the cutter

4. When making the cut, keep the vertical edge of the Parallel Guide held against the edge of the

workpiece

Fitting the circle guide

•  The Circle Guide (23) allows accurate circles and arcs to be cut
1.  Position a Guide Rod (10) into the rear groove in the top of the Base Plate (15)
2.  Move a Guide Rod Locking Knob (6) to the rear groove so the Guide Rod is secured by two Guide

Rod Locking Knobs

3. Fit the Circle Guide onto the end of the Guide Rod, so that it extends to the correct side of the

router for the cut that you intend to make with the point facing downwards

4. Position the screw, washer and wing nut on the Circle Guide screw as required depending on

how you will anchor the Circle Guide. The wing nut may be used to create the required height

to the workpiece or secure the Circle Guide to the workpiece when placed underneath the

workpiece at the end of the thread

5. Ensure the Circle Guide assembly is held securely on the Guide Rod by tightening the screw head

or wing nut so the Circle Guide assembly is compressed and tight on the Guide Rod

6. Adjust the Guide Rod position in the guide rod mountings to the required length (radius) from

anchor position to centre of router bit cutter

Using the roller guide

• The Roller Guide (22) attaches to the Parallel Guide (1). It enables the router to follow the shape

of the wood

1. Remove the two plastic pads from the Parallel Guide by removing the four screws
2. Attach the Roller Guide using two of the screws to the two inner threads of the parallel fence. The

Roller Guide wheel (trimmer guide) should face outward. So the Roller Wheel faces the cutter

3. Attach the Parallel Guide with fitted Roller Guide to the router using two Guide Rods and

securing using Guide Rod Locking Knobs (6)

4. Adjust the Roller Guide height using the wing nut
5. Adjust the distance between the router bit cutter and roller wheel by loosening the Guide

Rod Locking Knob on each side and positioning the Roller Guide to the correct distance then

retightening the Guide Rod Locking Knobs

6. To use, hold the router securely with both hands and make the cut by allowing the Roller Guide

to follow the contours of the wood. This can be used for curved workpieces

Note:

Ensure the Roller Guide wheel is kept clean and rotates freely. Lubricate with a suitable PTFE

spray if necessary.

Using the guide bush plate

• The Guide Bush Plate (21) should be used when template/jig cutting. 30mm and 21mm Guide

Bush Plates are provided. 30mm is commonly used for kitchen jigs

1. Remove the Dust Extraction Port (14) by first removing the two bolts and nuts that secure it
2. Remove the protective plastic pad from underneath the Base Plate (15) by removing the four

screws that secure it

3. On the internal side of the plastic pad fit the correct size Guide Bush Plate into the recess with the

bush (circular flange) facing outwards below the router

4.  Refit the plastic pad with the four screws
5.  Refit the Dust Extraction Port and dust extraction tubing
6.  Fit the router bit at the correct height position suitable for the template or jig to be used
7.  Make the cut as required carefully following the template or jig pattern

Operation

Adjusting the plunge depth

1. To release the plunge mechanism, rotate the Plunge Lock Lever (13) to its upper position
2. The Depth Stop (3) can be adjusted by slackening the Depth Stop Lock (11), and rotating the

Depth Stop Adjuster (2) to the required position of the Depth Stop so the router bit cutter is at the

correct height when the router is plunged

3. Fine adjustment of the Depth Stop can be made using the Fine Adjustment Knob (12). One full

rotation will result in an approximate 1mm adjustment in Depth Stop height

4. Retighten the Depth Stop Lock at the correct Depth Stop height for the required cut so when

plunged the correct depth of the router bit cutter is exposed to the material

• The scale on the Depth Stop can be used to judge changes in depth setting, but actual cutting

depth is best measured by making a trial cut on scrap material

Setting the depth of cut

• To lock the router at a particular depth of cut, plunge the router head down and rotate the Plunge

Lock Lever (13) to its lower position. This will hold the router head in this position

Making multiple pass cuts

1. The Turret Stop (9) allows the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in up to 7 steps. Each step

of the turret is equal to approximately 3mm depth of cut. Set the desired total depth of cut using

the depth stop, to the lowest turret step

2. Rotate the Turret Stop so that the Depth Stop will contact the highest step when the router is

plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made

3. Continue to make passes, rotating the turret stop anti-clockwise by one step for each pass until

the full depth of cut has been achieved

Note:

For total cuts of less than 21mm the number of steps will be reduced.

Base Plate

• The router features a combined flat-sided and round Base Plate (15). This allows the round edge

to follow contours easily but also gives an easy straight edge which may be useful for some

straight cuts (when the Parallel Guide (1) cannot be used), using with guide bushes and also

where the edge of the Base Plate needs to be closer to the router bit cutter, e.g. for use with

dovetail jigs etc.

• Always remember which edge of the base plate you are working with as the distance is different

to the router bit cutter

• If the router bit cutter impacts hard material such as metal the router bit will be destroyed and

the router itself may be damaged

Switching on and off

1. Ensure that the router bit is held securely in the collet, and that the router bit cutter is not in

contact with the workpiece or any other object

2. To start the motor, hold the Safety Button (16) down, and squeeze the On/Off Switch (17). The

motor will start. The router is equipped with a soft start feature so the motor will take a few

moments to reach its full operating speed
• To stop the motor, release the On/Off Switch

Speed control

• The speed of the router is set using the Variable Speed Dial (5): a higher number on the dial

corresponds to a higher motor speed

• Choosing the correct speed for the router bit and material will produce a higher quality of finish,

and prolong the service life of your router bits

Making a cut

Note:

NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be provided by

a bearing guided router bit cutter, the supplied guides, or a straight edge.
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure that the workpiece

will not move. Use clamps wherever possible

2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly, keeping the Base

Plate (15) held flat against the workpiece

4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side relative to the cutting

direction. Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily through the material.

Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow the rate of progress

Note:

To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anticlockwise for external cuts, and clockwise for internal

cuts.

Note:

Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish, and overloading of the motor.

Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.

Note:

Normal operation of a router is to plunge the head after the router has been switched on
