3. ASSEMBLY
Router Bit Selection
Depending on processing and application, router
bits are available in the most different designs and
qualities:
Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS) are
suitable for working with soft materials, e. g. soft
wood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e.g. hard
wood and aluminium.
Mounting and removing cutters
Fig. E
Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which
corresponds with the size of the collet. Only use
cutters which are suited for the maximum speed
of the machine. The cutter diameter should not
exceed the maximum diameter (see ‘Technical
specifications’).
Never tighten the collet nut, if there is no router bit
in the collet; the collet may be damaged.
• Press the spindle lock (7) and turn the collet
nut (6) until it engages in the lock. Keep the
spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
• Open the collet nut using the spanner.
• Place the cutter shaft in the collet (5).
• Tighten the collet nut so that the cutter is
locked properly.
• Open the collet nut when you want to replace a
cutter.
Replacing the collet
Fig. E
The correct size collet must be used for the
corresponding router bit (cutter) type.
• Press the spindle lock (7) and turn the collet
nut (6) until it engages in the lock. Keep the
spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
• Open the collet nut using the spanner.
• Replace the collet.
• Now tighten the collet nut again to fix it in
place.
Adjusting the parallel fence ruler
Fig. A
The parallel fence is a useful tool for precision
routing at a fixed distance from the edge of the
workpiece.
• Place the desired cutter in the tool.
• Slide the parallel guide with the guide rods
into the baseplate and tighten at the required
measure with the wing bolts
Mounting the template guide
Fig. C
The template guide is a handy aid for cutting a
pattern.
• Mount the template guide (18) on the router
base (3) using the screws (17).
Mounting the adapter for dust extraction
Fig. B+D
Use the dust adapter for the extraction of dust. In
case the adapter is not mounted on the machine,
follow these instructions.
• Mount the dust adapter (13) with the screws
(17) on the cutter sole (3).
• Place the tube of your vacuum cleaner on the
dust tube (19).
Keep the outlet of the machine behind
the machine for a good view on the
workpiece.
4. OPERATION
The ON/OFF switch
• To switch on the tool, press and hold the on/off
switch (1).
• If you release the on/off switch (1), the tool will
be switched off.
• Do not put the machine down when the motor
is still running. Do not place the machine on
a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the
mechanism.
Usage tips
• After switching the machine on, make sure the
machine reaches full speed before using it on
the workpiece.
• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that
the workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
• Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly
over the workpiece. Do not force the machine.
• Only use cutters which do not show any signs
