Installing or removing router
bit
CAUTION: 0
Always be sure
that
the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before installing or removing
the
bit.
Insert the bit
all
the way into the collet
chuck and withdraw it very slightly (approx. 2
mm;
1/16").
Then tighten the collet
chuck securely with
the
two
wrenches.
When using smaller shank bits, first insert
the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet
chuck, then install the bit
as
mentioned
above.
To
remove the bit, follow the installation
procedure
in
reverse.
CAUTION:
Do
not
tighten the collet chuck
without
inserting a bit or install smaller shank bits with-
out
using a collet sleeve. Either can lead
to
breakage of the collet chuck.
Adjusting depth
of
cut
Place the tool
on
a flat surface. Loosen the
lock lever and lower the tool body until
the
bit
just touches the flat surface. Press
the lock lever down
to
lock the tool body.
Now lower the stopper pole until
it
makes
contact
with the stopper block. The stopper
pole can be moved rapidly by depressing
Fast-feed
button

..
the fast-feed
button.
Raise the stopper
pole until
the
desired
depth
of
cut
is
ob-
tained. The
depth
of
cut
is
equal
to
the
distance between the stopper pole and the
stopper block.
Stopper
pole travel can be checked with the scale label
(1
mm
or
about
3/64"
per gradua-
tion)
on
the tool body. Minute
depth
adjustments can be obtained by turning the stopper
pole (1.5 mm or
about
1/16"
per turn). The stopper block has an adjusting hex bolt
which moves 1 mm (about
3/64")
per turn. It
is
convenient for making stepped cuts.
To
adjust the hex bolt, first loosen the hex
nut
on the hex
bolt
with the wrench and then
turn
the hex bolt. After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nut.

By
turning the knob, the upper limit of the
tool body can be adjusted. When
the
tip
of
the bit retracted more than required
in
re-
lation
to
the base plate surface, turn the
knob
to
lower the upper limit.
CAUTION:
•
Do
not
lower the knob
too
low or the bit will protrude dangerously.
• Before operating
the
tool, check
to
be sure
that
the tool body automatically rises
to
the
upper limit.
•
Do
not
exceed the upper limit marking on the column when raising the tool body .
• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty
in
controlling the
tool, the
depth
of
cut
should
not
be more than 15 mm (5/8") at a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish
to
cut
grooves more than 15 mm (5/8") deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Switch action
To
start the tool, move the switch lever
to
the
"ON"
position. To stop, move the
switch lever
to
the
"OF
F"
position.
