TurntheRouterfacedown(iewiththeswitchfacingyourwork
bench).Securetheextractionadapterwiththetwocrosshead
screws(Pic.6).
PARALLEL FENCE (PICS.7&8)
Place the parallel fence on the work top. Notice that the two
long guide rods have a female thread at one end. Offer to the
parallel guide and secure with the supplied hexagonal keyed
bolts.Tightenwiththesuppliedkey(Pic.7).
SlackenthethreesecuringknobsthatarelocatedintheRouter
base(Pic.8).
Offertheparallelguideintothebaseandre-secure(Pic.8.1)the
threeknobs(seeoperatinginstructions).
CHANGING COLLET AND INSERTING ROUTER BITS
(PIC.9)
CAUTION:MAKESURETHEROUTERISISOLATEDFROM
THEPOWERSUPPLY
Router bits are available to cut different profiles in wood.An
example would be the decorative edging on a dado rail.
The machine comes with two different sized collets in 8mm and
6mm(1/4”).ThisallowstheRoutertoacceptmetricorimperial
Routerbits.
ThereisalargevarietyofRouterbitstoachievedifferentfinishes.
CertainRouterbitsaretoolargetoenablethedustextractionto
be fitted. In these cases a dust mask must be worn.
Locatethe spindle lock onthe front of theRouter,press and
holdin.Withthesuppliedspannerslackenthecolletnut(Pic.9)
inananti-clockwisedirection.
Removethecolletnutalongwiththecolletandcleananydebris
awayfromthe spindle and collet (refitting is a reverseofthe
aboveprocedure).
ToinsertaRouterbitslackenthecolletnutandinserttheRouter
bit shaft into the collet. Make sure at least 20mm or at least
halftheshaftlengthoftheRouterbitinsertsintothecollet.Any
lessandtheRouterbitwouldbecomeunstableandcouldwork
loose. Press and hold the spindle lock and tighten the collet nut.
Periodically check the tightness of this nut when working.
ROUTER GUIDE BUSH (PIC.10)
Note,fittingtheguidebushwillrestrictthesizeofRouterbitthat
can be used.
The Router guide bush attaches to the Router base and
allows the machine to follow a particular cutting profile. The
dust extraction outlet will also have to be fitted as the securing
points for the guide bush are a part of the extraction housing.
Removethetwoscrewsthatsecurethedustextractionoutlet.
Place the guide bush onto the base and secure with the two
screws(Pic.10).
AnyRouterbitswillhavetobeinsertedthroughtheguide.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: This manual is a basic guide to routing. We
recommend you purchase a good quality routing book to be
abletousetheRoutertoitsfullpotential.
WARNING: OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING when using the
Router and parallel guides on highly decorative and finished
surfaces:COVEREITHERDECORATIVESURFACESORTHE
ROUTER BASE AND PARALLEL GUIDES WITH MASKING
TAPEOROTHERPROTECTION.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE DEPTH (PICS.3 & 11)
To adjust the plunge depth release the plunge locking lever and
applypressuretothehandlesoftheRouteruntiltherequired
depthisachieved.Re-securethelockinglever(seePic.3).
Toplungetoapredetermineddepthadjustthedepthstop(11.1)
andlockinpositionwiththelockingknob(Pic.11).
It is possible to perform a micrometric adjustment by rotating the
topcurvebufferatthedepthstop(Pic.11.2)
MAKING MULTIPLE PASS CUTS (PIC.12)
To cut in stages, when making deep cuts that require more than
onecutusethedepthstopturret(12.1)toassisttheprocedure.
Set the desired depth with the depth stop gauge to the lowest
depth stop turret post.
Rotatetheturretsothehighestpointisunderthedepthstopand
makethefirstcut/pass(Pic.12).
Repeatthecutatthesecondheightandfinallyatthedesired
height.
Passes can also be made using two of the positions when the
cut can be made in only two passes.
STARTING AND STOPPING (PIC.13)
HoldtheRouterfirmlywithbothhandsonthegrips.Firstpress
with your thumb the side safety pushbutton  (13.1) and then
presstheOn/Offswitch(13.2)withyourindexfingerandhold.
It is now possible to release the safety pushbutton. To stop the
machinesimplyreleasetheOn/Offswitch(Pic.13).
VARIABLE SPEED (PIC.14)
Locatedonthefrontofthemachineisthevariablespeeddial
(Pic. 14). Simply rotate the dial to increase or decrease the
speed.ThesmallerthebitassembledontheRouterthefaster
the rotation speed must be. The larger the bit assembled on the
Routertheslowertherotationspeedmustbe.
AbitforRouterthatisrotatingtoofastwillscorchtheworkpiece
leaving a burn trace.
USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (PIC.15)
The parallel guide can be used to make a cut at a parallel
distance from the edge of the work piece.
SlidetheparallelfenceintothebaseoftheRouterandsetthe
desireddistancefromthecuttertothefence(Pic.15).
Secure the fence in place with the two locking knobs.
Hold the fence securely against the edge of the work piece and
perform the operation.
To perform circular cuts: disassemble the parallel fence and
usethebit supplied (22, Pic. 1) on one of the two extension
bars.
To perform cuts on irregular profiles: the appropriate buffer
may be applied to the structure of the mitre fence as shown in
