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 bit
► Fig.7: 1. Shaft lock 2. Wrench
CAUTION:
• Install the bit securely. Always use only the
wrench provided with the tool. A loose or over-
tightened bit can be dangerous.
• Use always a collet which is suitable for the
shank diameter of the bit.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting
a bit or install small shank bits without using a
collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the
collet cone.
• Use only router bits of which the maximum
speed, as indicated on the bit, does exceed the
maximum speed of the router.
Insert the 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 bit as described above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Before operation, always make sure that the
tool body automatically rises to the upper limit
and the bit does not protrude from the tool base
when the lock lever is loosened.
• Before operation, always make sure that the
chip deflector is installed properly.
► Fig.8
Always use both grips and firmly hold the tool by both
grips during operations.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without
the bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the 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 bit in the feed direction.

direction
NOTE:
• Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may
burn and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will
depend on the 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.
• 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.

The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the clamp-
ing screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in the
tool base and tighten the clamping screw (A). To adjust the
distance between the bit and the straight guide, loosen the
clamping screw (B) and turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5 mm
per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamping screw
(B) to secure the straight guide in place.
► Fig.12
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be
made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt
on extra pieces of wood.
► Fig.13: 1. More than 15 mm 2. Straight guide
3. Wood
When using a large diameter bit, attach pieces of wood to the
straight guide which have a thickness of more than 15 mm to
prevent the bit from striking the straight guide.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
If the distance between the side of the workpiece and the
cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, or if the side
of the workpiece is not straight, the straight guide cannot be
used. In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the work-
piece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed
the tool in the direction of the arrow.

When Router is Mounted
Insert the two rods (Rod 10) into the outer mounting slots
of the guide holder, and secure them by tightening the two
clamping screws (M15 x 14mm). Check to make sure that the
thumb nut (M6 x 50mm) is tightened down, and then slide the
router's base mounting unit onto the two rods (Rod 10), and
tighten the base's clamping screws.
