The uncertainty factor should also be taken into account when assessing a risk. The two
figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may be added together and the resultant value used to assess the risk.
It should be noted that if a tool is used under abnormal, or unusual conditions, then the
vibration level could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into
account and make their own risk assessment, using the graph above as a reference.
Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for
a few seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few
minutes per day. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of
other hand held power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when
the total daily dose rate is determined.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured
reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing
in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk
assessment.

Measured vibration emission value -
Uncertainty value -
Highest measured reading in a single plane m/s
Values determined according to EN28622-1
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to
it……in effect, a daily vibration dose.
Tools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration level generated
under normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a
grinder used at 45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on softwood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second, which
represents the average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary,
and a second figure ‘K’, which represents the uncertainty factor, i.e. a value in excess of
‘a’, to which the tool could vibrate under normal conditions. These values appear in the
specification panel below.
MODEL No: CR1
DESCRIPTION: PLUNGE ROUTER
Declared vibration emission value in accordance
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the
operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500
herz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome (HAVS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These
are painful conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.
Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.

Trouble Shooting
- 12 -
Moving too slowly, tends to cause burning of the material and if excessive, will cause the
cutter to overheat, therefore blunting and shortening its expected life.
The proper feed rate to use depends on the cutter size, the material being cut, the depth
of the cut and the speed selected.
With all these variables, the surest way to ensure that you get the best quality and
efficiency of cut is to practice on a piece of scrap of the same material to get a feel for
what feed rate to use. This will also show you exactly how the cut will look and allow you
to check the cutting depth.
Straight Cut Guide
The straight guide is used for parallel cuts along a workpiece with a straight edge that
can be followed. To use the guide, attach the guide assy to the router by passing the rods
through the holes in the base and locking in position with the two wing screws, Make sure
that the rods pass through both sets of holes in the base, otherwise there may be some
movement that will cause the cut not to be exactly parallel with the reference edge.
If the edge is too far away from the guides reach, whilst maintaining that the rods are still
held in both sets of holes in the base, or there is not enough edge to follow, the guide
assembly can be removed and a piece of wood or other straight material can be
clamped parallel with the line to be cut. The straight edge on the base of the router can
then be used to guide the tool.
Template guide
The template guide can be used to accurately duplicate curves and other complex
shapes.
The guide protrudes below the bottom of the router base, as shown in Fig. 4, allowing the
router to follow the template.
The template must be securely clamped on the workpiece and a firm pressure applied
to the router at all times to ensure that the edge of the guide accurately follows the
template.
The template must be at least 5mm thick to allow for the protrusion of the guide. Allowance
must also be made in the template for the distance between the cutting edge of the bit
and the outside edge of the guide.
Direction Of Feed
The router motor and therefore the cutter, revolves in a clockwise direction. This gives the
tool a tendency to twist anticlockwise in your hands, particularly when starting the tool.
Router cutters are designed to use this clockwise rotation to assist in the cutting and
clearing of waste, therefore when using the router it should always be moved from left to
right as you are facing the workpiece.
When cutting edges, move the router anticlockwise for outside edges and clockwise
when cutting inside edges.
Feed Rate
The rate at which the router is moved across the material has a significant effect on the
quality of cut and the length of service you will get from your router and cutters.
Moving too fast through the cut, as well as possibly overloading the tool and damaging
the cutter, will cause the cutter to take larger pieces of material with each rotation,
thereby causing a rough and uneven finish.

Routing
1. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or otherwise secured.
3. Switch the router on, (push ON/Off switch down until it latches, see Fig. 8), allow
the motor to reach the full speed selected, (speed control is located on the top
of the router, turn to higher number to increase the speed), (see Fig. 9).
2. Place router on the workpiece with the cutter in the position to be cut, e.g. cutter
just in front of start position and the straight guide firmly pushed up to edge of the
work.

Always carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to ensure the depth of cut is
Note :
6. Add the required depth of cut to the
scale reading, (in mm), move the rod up to the reading and tighten the wing screw.
The router is now set for the required depth.
If making a deep cut, it is advisable to make more than one pass to achieve the desired
depth. The depth of cut achievable with each pass depends greatly on the size of cutter
and the material being worked. Excessive depth of cut will unduly labour the motor,
place excessive strain on the cutter, make the router more difficult to control and
significantly reduce the quality of the cut being made.
The triple depth stop revolver can be used to assist in making multiple passes, particularly
when working on more than one piece of material. If the final depth of cut is set using the
shortest of the three threaded bolts, the two longer ones can be set to two appropriate
shallower depths.
Using the revolver in this manner removes the necessity for resetting the depth gauge rod
for each pass.
4. Allow the depth gauge rod to rest on
one of the three threaded bolts in the
