OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 NOTE: Before using the tool, read the 
         instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for routing grooves, 
edges, profiles and elongated holes as well 
as for copy routing in wood, plastic and light 
building materials, while resting firmly on the 
workpiece.
1. INSERT THE ROUTER BIT
Router bit selection 
Depending on processing and application, 
router bits are available in many different 
designs and qualities:
Router bits made of high-speed steel 
(HSS) is suitable for the machining of soft 
materials, e. g. softwood and plastic. 
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) is 
particularly suitable for hard and abrasive 
materials, e. g. hard wood and aluminum.
WARNING:Use only routing tools 
with an allowable speed matching 
at least the highest no load speed of 
the machine. The shank diameter of the 
router bit must correspond with the 
rated diameter of the collet.
Inserting router bits (See Fig. A)
Before any work on the machine 
itself, disconnect the mains plug. It is 
recommended to wear protective gloves 
when inserting or replacing router bits.
Press spindle lock button (14) and keep 
depressed. If required, turn the spindle by 
hand until the lock engages.
Press the spindle lock button only when at a 
standstill.
Insert router bit. The shank of the router 
bit must be inserted at least 20mm (shank 
length).
Tighten the tightening nut (13) with the 
spanner (19) (size 22mm). Release the spindle 
lock button.
Do not tighten the tightening nut 
of the collet without a router bit 
inserted.
HOW TO FIT THE 8mm COLLET (See a)
This router is supplied with a 8mm collet as an 
accessory.
To fit the 8mm collet (b) simply slide it into the 
12mm collet (a) fitted to the collet nut.
The 8mm collet has a flange coller to ensure 
insertion to correct depth.
NOTE: 1. Do not attempt to remove the 
12mm collet from the collet nut.
2. Always wear safety gloves when 
changing the router bits.
2. MOUNTING THE EXTRACTION 
ADAPTER (See Fig. B)
To connect the vacuum cleaner via a suction 
hose, you must fasten dust adapter (20) to 
base plate (10) with both screws and nuts (25). 
When mounting the extraction 
adapter, ensure correct mounting 
position!
•  For dust extraction, the vacuum hose can 
be connected directly to the extraction 
adapter.
•  Clean the dust adapter (20) regularly to 
ensure optimum dust extraction at all 
times.
•  The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for 
the material to be worked.
•  When vacuuming dry dust that is especially 
detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a 
special vacuum cleaner.
3. ON AND OFF SWITCH
a) LOCK-ON SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool. 
Depress on/off switch (18) then lock on button 
(16), release on/off switch first and lock-on 
button second. Your switch is now locked on 
for continuous use. To switch off your tool just 
depress and release the on/off switch.
b) LOCK-OFF SWITCH
For starting operation of the machine, actuate 
the lock-off button (12) first, then press and 
hold the On/Off switch (18) afterwards. To 
switch off the machine, release the On/Off
