CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY: (240V)

To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted with a BS approved,
non rewireable moulded plug and cable which incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated
on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced an approved BS1362 fuse
must be used of the same rating, marked thus .The fuse cover is detachable, never use the
plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour
as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red). Fuse covers are available from your Draper Tools
stockist.
If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be cut off and destroyed. *The end of the cable should now
be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below.

*WARNING:

A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket outlet.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED.

Blue – Neutral, Brown – Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
‘N’ or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter ‘L’or coloured red or brown.

CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY (110V)

To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted with a BS approved,
rewireable plug and cable. If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be removed,the end of the
cable should be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED.

Single phase 110 volt machines must be connected using the relevant coding and matching the
colour of the flexible cable to that of the plug. The procedure is as follows:

1. Connect brown coloured core to plug terminal marked letter ‘L’(live).

2. Connect blue colour core to plug terminal marked letter ‘N’(neutral).

during extended periods of operation.

8. NOISE LEVELS

Some types of machines may have high noise levels when
working. In such cases ear protection must be worn.

9. VIBRATION LEVELS

Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels.
You should always refer to the specifications and relevant
Health and Safety guide.

10. DUST EXTRACTION

If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction fitting, always
ensure that it is connected and being used with a dust
extractor. Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the
material being extracted.

11. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

When working with power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and
refrigerators,etc.).If you are using a power tool in
extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity or generating
metal dust), always use an RCD (residual current device)
at the power socket.

12. STAY ALERT

Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.

13. WHEN WORKING OUT OF DOORS

Only use extension leads designed for that purpose.

14. ACCESS TO MAINS SOCKET

If a stationary machine is fitted with a moulded plug and

OPERATION AND USE

IMPORTANT

Check before plugging in that the mains voltage
agrees with the voltage specified on the rating
plate of the machine.

Before operating the router fit the screen ✪✌ and
dust extraction outlet ✫✌. The screen ✪✌ is
secured in place with screw ✬✌ and the dust
extraction outlet ✫✌ by two bolts and wing nuts
✭✌ (Fig.2).

SWITCH

The machine is fitted with a slide switch ✮✌.The
slide is pushed upwards to start (I = on) and
downwards (O = off) to stop (Fig.3).

WARNING
Make sure the switch is in the off position

before connecting to the mains.

SPEED CONTROL

In order to improve the machines performance,
and provide maximum working efficiency on all
types of material, the R1900V has an electronic
speed control knob.

The knurled knob ❁✌ is mounted on the body of
the machine and is marked with numbers from 1
to 6. Minimum speed is at position 1 and the
speed progressively increases to maximum
speed at position 6.

Carefully choose the ideal speed for the work
that has to be performed by carrying out
preliminary tests (Fig.4).

This model is also fitted with an electronic speed
regulation system with the following
specifications:

– “Soft Start” starting: allows gradual collet

rotation starting and reaching of maximum pre­fixed speed in three seconds.

– “Constant Electronic”: maintains the preset

rotation speed constant, whatever the diameter
of the bit inserted in the collet and the friction
generated by the material.

– Current limiter: a safety device which reduces

the electric power supply of the tool to a
minimum, when there is an overload of 1600W.

The router must always be held by both hand
grips ✯✌ (Fig.3). The on/off switch ✮✌ must be
operated with your left hand.

OPERATION AND USE Cont’d.

FITTING OR CHANGING THE CUTTER

Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
The machine is fitted with a

1

/2" collet. To fit the

cutter ensure that the collet nut ✰✌ is loose. If not
push in the spindle locking plate ✱✌ until it
slides over the flat on the spindle and using a
27mm spanner loosen the nut. Insert the cutter
into the collet nut ✰✌ and with the spindle lock
engaged tighten the collet nut ✰✌ (Fig.5).

Before starting the machine ensure that the
spindle locking plate (H) is disengaged from the
spindle. To remove the cutter is the reverse
procedure.

SETTING THE DEPTH STOP

The router is fitted with a depth stop screw ✳✌
that can be adjusted to the required depth and
indicated on the scale ✴✌. The depth screw can
be adjusted by pushing button ✵✌ which will
allow the depth stop screw to move freely up and
down. For fine adjustment it can be screwed up
and down by using the knurled head ✶✌ (Fig.6).

DEEP CUTS

We recommend deep cuts are performed in three
stages using the depth turret ✷✌.The hex screws
can be set in the required positions by rotating
the turret (Fig.6).

When the required depth of cut is reached the
router can be locked into position by depth lock
lever ✹✌ (Fig.6a). (When using the router this
should be by your right hand).

The distance that the router will travel above the
work surface can be adjusted by screwing the
height stop knob ✻✌ (Fig.6).

PARALLEL GUIDE

The parallel guide ✼✌ (Fig.6) can be fitted from
either side of the router. When the required
position is obtained the parallel guide can be
secured into place by the two locking knobs ✽✌
(Fig.7). Any fine adjustment can be made by
loosening knob ❀✌, turning the knurled knob
✿✌ and then tightening knob ❀✌.

DIRECTION OF CUT

When beginning to cut, insert the cutter slowly to
the selected depth and start up in a forward
motion, holding the machine with both hands.
Starting the cutter in the wrong direction could
cause the machine to ricochet, and this may lead
to damage of the work piece (Fig.8).

MAINTENANCE AND PARTS
REPLACEMENT

Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep
your tool in good working condition. The tool bearings are life-long lubricated. The motor must be
correctly ventilated during tool operation. For this reason avoid blocking the air inlets with hands.
After use disconnect the tool from the power supply and clean carefully, use compressed air
through the ventilation slots.

DISPOSAL

At the end of the machine’s working life, or when it can no longer be repaired, ensure that it is
disposed of according to the standard regulations of the country in which it is being used, and that
the disposal operation is carried out by specialized personnel following authorized guidelines. In
all circumstances:

– Do not abandon in the environment;
– Do not dispose of together with solid urban waste products;
– Contact the special recycling centres.

WARNING – Disconnect the plug from the power supply socket before replacing any parts.

BRUSHES

The brushes must be replaced after approximately 150-200 working hours, or if they are less than
5-6mm in length.

WARNING – For correct tool operation always change the brushes in pairs, not separately.
The use of original Draper Tool spare parts is recommended. After having fitted new
brushes run the motor without load for at least five minutes for the brushes to bed in.

IMPORTANT – This operation should only be performed by an authorized person.

REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

Check that the power supply cable is in good condition, if not have it replaced by an authorized
person.
