Stopper block
As the rotary stopper has three adjusting hex bolts, you
can easily obtain three different depths of cut without
readjusting the stopper pole. To adjust the hex bolts,
loosen the hex nuts on them and turn the hex bolts.
After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts
to secure the hex bolts.

Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the tool is switched off.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the shaft lock is
released before the switch is turned on.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O position.

CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly when turning
off the tool, to overcome the reaction.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the router bit
Insert the router bit all the way into the collet cone.
Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and
use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When
using router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert
the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then
install the router bit as illustrated.
To remove the router bit, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.

CAUTION:
Install the router bit securely.
Always use only the wrench provided with the
tool. A loose or overtightened router bit can be
dangerous.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the collet nut with-
out inserting a router bit or install small shank
bits without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead
to breakage of the collet cone.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Before operation, always make
sure that the tool body automatically rises to
the upper limit and the router bit does not pro-
trude from the tool base when the lock lever is
loosened.
CAUTION:
Before operation, always make
sure that the chip deflector is installed properly.

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without
the router bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on
and wait until the router bit attains full speed. Lower the
tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancing
smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.

direction
NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the router bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn
and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on
the router bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth
of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it
is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions.
NOTE: When using the straight guide or the trimmer
guide, be sure to install it on the right side in the feed
direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of
the workpiece.

Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Straight guide (Type A)
Optional accessory
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the
thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the router bit and the
straight guide, loosen the thumb screw (B) and turn the
fine adjusting screw. At the desired distance, tighten the
thumb screw (B) to secure the straight guide in place.
