OPERATION
Place new collect (7) on to spindle and finger
tighten, with router bit inserted.
Engage the spindle lock (21), and tighten the
collect (7) with the tool wrench (22) in a
clockwise direction.
Adjusting the Router Speed
Simply adjust the variable speed control dial
(4), with 1 being the slowest at approx.
8000rpm (no load speed) and 6 being the
highest speed at 26000rpm (no load speed).
Be aware using the correct speed for each
individual job increases the life of the router
bit and can also affect the surface finish on the
end piece. We recommend that you make a
trial cut with a scrap piece to determine the
correct speed.
Do not adjust the speed of the router whilst in
use or turned on. Turn off the machine and
allow it to come to a complete stop before you
adjust the speed.
Operating the Router Table
To turn on the machine, lift the safety cover
and press the green on button.
To turn off the machine, lift the safety cover
and press the red off button.
Using the Table
Insert and secure the desired collet (7) and
router bit.
Make all necessary adjustments to the router
table, feather‐boards (8), and back guide fence
(2).
Make sure the on/off switch (5) is set to the
off position, and then plug the machine in an
outlet.
Push the on switch.
Feed the work piece gradually from right to left
against the rotation of the cutter. Be sure to
keep the feed rate constant for best results.
Be aware feeding the work piece too slowly
will cause burn to appear on the piece, and
feeding it too quickly will slow the motor and
cause an uneven cut. On very hard wood more
than one pass may be required at progressively
deeper cuts until the depth wanted is achieved.
When you have finished, push the off switch,
allow the machine to come to a full stop, and
then unplug the machine form the outlet.
