Dress properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. It can get caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working out doors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Stay alert

Watch what you are doing Use common sense. Do not operate tools when tired or after taking alcohol or prescription/ non-prescription drugs.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Warning! Always make sure the machine is

switched off and unplugged when its not being used, you are changing cutters or moving the work piece. See safe work order summary section for details Be aware: this is a powerful machine and requires two hands to operate it.

Concentrate

Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious injuries in a split second.

Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

Consider the work environment

Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vapours or gases.

Guard against electric shock

This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).

Keep children and pets away

Do not let children or pets come into contact with the tool, extension cable or work area.

Do not force the tool

It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Use the right tool

Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which they were not intended; for example do not use a circular saw for cutting trees or logs.

Do not abuse the cable

Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins when connecting or removing the plug.

Secure work

Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. Be aware that this router is a powerful machine; you must use two hands to control it.

Do not over-reach

Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.

Disconnect tools from power supply

When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

Always switch off and unplug the router from the power supply before making adjustments or

changing cutters.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

Ensure that they are removed from the tool before switching on.

Avoid unintentional starting

Do not carry plugged in tools with your finger on the switch. Check that the switch is off before plugging in to socket.

Extension cables

Use only three core earthed extension cables suitable for the power input of the tool (minimum cable size

1.5mm2). Plug into an earthed socket only. When using a cable reel unwind it fully. Do not use long extension cables.

Outdoors use

If the tool is suitable to be used outdoors, only use an extension cable intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Do not use in rain or damp conditions.

Connect a dust extraction device

Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust or fume extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.

Use recommended accessories

The use of any other accessory or attachment other than recommended in the instructions or catalogue may present a risk of personal injury. Use extension cables suitable for the power input of the machine (minimum cable size 1.5mm

). When using a cable reel unwind the

cable fully.

MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

Fig.B

Prior to mounting an accessory always unplug the tool.

MOUNTING AND REMOVING CUTTERS

Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which corresponds with the size of the collet. Only use cutters which are suited for the maximum speed of the machine. The cutter diameter should not exceed the maximum diameter (see ‘Technical specifications’).

• Press in the spindle lock (5) and turn the springchuck nut (6) until it drops into the lock. Keep the spindle lock pressed in as long as you are following this procedure.

• Use the open-end wrench to unscrew the springchuck nut.

• Place the cutter shaft in the collet.

• Tighten the collet nut so that the cutter is locked properly.

• Open the collet nut when you want to replace a cutter.

Wait until the machine has come to a complete standstill and the cutter has cooled down before

replacing a cutter.

MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING THE PARALLEL GUIDE

Fig.C

The parallel guide is a handy aid when working on narrow workpieces.

• Mount the parallel guide. Attach the guide rods (15) on the frame (14) using the bolts (16).

• Loosen the locking bolts (9) and slide the guide rods in the openings (8).

• Adjust the parallel guide to the desired guide distance.

• Tighten the locking bolts again.

MOUNTING THE GUIDE BUSH

Fig.D

The guide bush is a handy aid for cutting a pattern.

• Mount the template guide (20) by using the screws (17) on the cutter sole.

MOUNTING THE ADAPTER FOR DUST EXTRACTION

Fig.E

Use the adapter for extracting dust.

• Remove the spring-chuck nut as mentioned in ‘Fitting and removing cutter bits’ (Fig. B).

• Loosen the clamp screw (2) for the machine and remove the machine from the base.

• Remove the clamp screws for the parallel guide (9) on the back of the machine.

• Mount the adapter for vacuum cleaning (18) by using the screws (17) on the cutter sole (7).

• Place the clamp screws for the parallel guide back on the cutter sole.

• Place the machine back in the base and tighten the clamp screw.

• Place the spring chuck nut back on the machine.

• Place the mouthpiece of a vacuum cleaner on the outlet of the adapter.

Keep the outlet of the machine behind the machine for a good view on the workpiece.

OPERATION

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Hold the machine in rest position on the workpiece when switching the machine on or off. The cutter in the collet may damage the workpiece.

• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during the cutting activities.

• Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly over the workpiece. Do not force the machine.

• Only use cutters which do not show any signs of wear. Worn cutters have a negative effect on the efficiency of the machine.

• Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the wall socket.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH

Fig.F

The cutting depth can be adjusted in two ways.

Adjustment using the scale

• Loosen the locking bolt of the depth stop (12).

• Release clamping lever (3) and press the machine so far down until the cutter touches the workpiece.

• Tighten the clamping lever again.

• Set the desired cutting depth using the graduated scales (11) and then tighten the clamp screw.

Adjustment using the revolver- depth stop

The revolver-depth stop enables you to quickly choose between three different cutting depths. These are also determined by the adjustment of the depth scale (11).

• Adjust the required cutting depth by the three screws on the revolver-depth stop (10).
