IMPORTANT NOTE:
Residual Risk. Although the safety
instructions and operating manuals for
our tools contain extensive instructions on
safe working with power tools, every
power tool involves a certain residual risk
which cannot be completely excluded by
safety mechanisms. Power tools must
therefore always be operated with
caution!
General
1. Disconnect power tool and attachment
from power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when making
adjustments and when changing
accessories such as cutters. Ensure
switch is in “off” position. Always
ensure cutter has stopped rotating.
2. Always mount the power tool,
accessory or attachment in conformity
with the instructions. Only use
attachment and accessories specified
in the power tool manual. The tool or
attachment should not be modified or
used for any application other than
that for which it was designed. Do not
force tool.
3. Keep children and visitors away. Do
not let children or visitors touch the
tool, accessory or attachment. Keep
children and visitors away from work
area. Make the workshop child proof
with padlock and master switch.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellry, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves
and non-skid footwear is
recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
5. Consider working environment. Do not
use the product in the rain or in a
damp environment. Keep work area
well lit. Do not use power tools near
gasoline or flammable liquids. Keep
workshop at a comfortable
temperature so your hands are not
cold. Connect machines that are used
in the open via a residual current
device (RCD) with an actuation
current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cables that are approved for
outdoor use.
6. The accessory or attachment must be
kept level and stable at all times.
7. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
workshops and benches can cause
injuries. Ensure there is sufficient
room to work safely.
8. Secure idle tools. When not in use,
tools should be stored in a dry and
high or locked up place, out of reach
of children.
9. For best control and safety use both
hands on the power tool and
attachment. Keep both hands away
from cutting area. Always wait for the
spindle and cutter to stop rotating
before making any adjustments.
10. Always keep guards in place and in
good working order.
11. Remove any nails, staples and other
metal parts from the workpiece.
12. Maintain tools and cutters with care.
Keep cutters sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Do not
use damaged cutters. Follow
instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
13. Maintain accessories. Do not use
damaged accessories. Only use
accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
14. Check damaged parts. Before
operation inspect the attachment, the
power tool, the cable, extension cable
and the plug carefully for signs of
damage. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage,
mounting and any other conditions
that may effect its operation. Have any
damage repaired by an Authorised
Service Agent before using the tool or
accessory. Protect tools from impact
and shock.
15. Do not use tool if switch does not turn
it on or off. Have defective switches
replaced by an Authorised Service
Agent
16. Don't over reach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Do not use
awkward or uncomfortable hand
positions.
17. Don’t abuse the cable. Never carry
power tool or accessory by cord or
pull it to disconnect from the socket.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Always trail the power cord
away from the work area.
18. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
19. Check all fixing and fastening nuts,
bolts and screws on power tool,
attachment and cutting tools before
use to ensure they are tight and
secure. Periodically check when
machining over long periods.
20. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
tools when you are tired, under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
21. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
for eye, ear and respiratory protection
must be worn. All PPE must meet
current UK and EU legislation.
22. Do not leave tools running
unattended. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
23. Always clamp workpiece being
machined securely.
24. Only use cutting tools for
woodworking that meet EN847-1/2
safety standards, and any
subsequent amendments.
25. Vibration levels. Hand held power
tools produce different vibration
levels. You should always refer to the
specifications and relevant Health &
Safety Guide.
Routing Safety
1. Read and understand instructions
supplied with power tool, attachment
and cutter.
2. Keep hands, hair and clothing clear of
the cutter.
3. Remove adjusting keys and
spanners. Check to see that keys and
adjusting spanners are removed from
the router tool, cutter and attachment
before turning router on. Make sure
cutter can rotate freely.
4. Noise. Take appropriate measures for
the protection of hearing if the sound
pressure of 85dB(A) is exceeded.
Routing sound pressure may exceed
85dB(A), so ear protection must be
worn.
5. Eye protection. Always wear eye
protection in the form of safety
goggles, spectacles or visors to
protect the eyes.
Page 4
-3-
COMBI 600
6. Respiratory protection. Wear a face or
dust mask, or powered respirator.
Dust masks/filters should be changed
regularly.
7. Do not switch router on with the cutter
touching the workpiece. At the end of
the cut, release the router plunge and
allow spindle to stop rotating. Never
use the spindle lock as a brake
8. The direction of routing must always
be opposite to the cutter's direction of
rotation. Do not back-cut or climb-cut.
9. Check before cutting that there are no
obstructions in the path of the router.
Ensure there are no obstacles
beneath workpiece when cutting full
thickness, and that a sacrificial work
surface is used.
Router Cutter Safety
1. Cutting tools are sharp. Care should
be taken when handling them. Do not
drop cutters or knock them against
hard objects. Handle very small
diameter cutters with extra care.
Always return cutter to its packaging
after use.
2. Always use cutters with a shank
diameter corresponding to the size of
the collet installed in your tool.
3. The maximum speed (n.max) marked
on the tool, or in instructions or on
packaging shall not be exceeded.
Where stated the speed range shall
be adhered to. Recommended speeds
are shown in the Trend Routing
Catalogue and/or website.
4. Always use router cutters in a router.
Drill and boring bits must not be used
in a router. Router cutters must only
be used for the material cutting
application for which they are
designed. Do not use on metal or
masonry.
5. Never use cutters with a diameter
exceeding the maximum diameter
indicated in the technical data of the
powertool or attachment used.
6. Before each use check that the cutting
tool is sharp and free from damage.
Do not use the cutting tool if it is dull,
broken or cracked or if in any other
damage is noticeable or suspected.
7. Cutters should be kept clean. Resin
build up should be removed at regular
intervals with Resin Cleaner
®
. The
use of a PTFE dry lubricant will
reduce resin build up. Do not use
PTFE spray on plastic parts.
8. When using stacked tooling (multi-
blade, block and groover etc.) on a
spindle arbor, ensure that the cutting
edges are staggered to each other to
reduce the cutting impact.
9. Cutter shanks should be inserted into
the collet all the way to the line
indicated on the shank. This ensures
that at least
3
⁄4of the shank length is
held in the collet. Ensure clamping
surfaces are cleaned to remove dirt,
grease, oil and water.
10. Observe the correct assembly and
fitting instructions in the router
instruction manual for fitting the collet,
nut and cutter.
11.Tool and tool bodies shall be clamped
in such a way that they will not
become loose during operation. Care
shall be taken when mounting cutting
tools to ensure that the clamping is by
the shank of the cutting tool and that
the cutting edges are not in contact
with each other or with the clamping
elements.
12. It is advisable to periodically check
the collet and collet nut. A damaged,
worn or distorted collet and nut can
cause vibration and shank damage.
Do not over-tighten the collet nut
13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass;
take several shallow or light passes to
reduce the side load applied to the
cutter and router. Too deep a cut in
one pass can stall the router.
15. In case of excessive vibrations whilst
using the router stop immediately and
have the eccentricity of the router,
router cutter and clamping system
checked by competent personnel
15. All fastening screws and nuts should
be tightened using the appropriate
spanner or key and to the torque
value provided by the manufacturer.
16. Extension of the spanner or
tightening using hammer blows shall
not be permitted.
17.Clamping screws shall be tightened
according to instructions provided by
the manufacture. Where instructions
are not provided, clamping screws
shall be tightened in sequence from
the centre outwards.
Using Routers In A Fixed Position
1. Attention should be made to the
HSE’s Safe Use of Vertical Spindle
Moulding Machines Information Sheet
No.18 and any revisions.
2. After work, release the router plunge
to protect the cutter.
3. Always use a push-stick or push-block
when making any cut less than
300mm in length or when feeding the
last 300mm of the cut.
4. The opening around the cutter should
be reduced to a minimum using
suitably sized insert rings in the table
and closing the back fence cheeks or
fitting a false fence on the back fence.
5. Whenever possible use a work
holding device or jig to secure
component being machined. Ensure
any attachment is securely fitted to the
workbench, with table surface at
approximately hip height.
6. Use a No-Volt Release Switch. Ensure
it is fixed securely, easily accessible
and used correctly.
7. In router table (inverted) mode, stand
to the front right of the table. The
cutter will rotate anti-clockwise when
viewed from top so the feed direction
is from the right (against the rotation of
the cutter). In overhead mode, stand
to the front left of the machine table
and the feed direction is from the left.
8. Do not reach underneath table or put
your hands or fingers at any time in
the cutting path while tool is connected
to a power supply.
9. Never thickness timber between the
back of the cutter and the backfence.
Useful Advice When Routing
1. Judge your feed rate by the sound of
the motor. Feed the router at a
constant feed rate. Too slow a feed
rate will result in burning.
2. Trial cuts should be made on waste
material before starting any project.
3. When using some attachments e.g. a
router table or dovetail jig, a fine
height adjuster is recommended.
4. When using a template guide bush,
ensure there is sufficient clearance
between cutter tip and inside edge of
bush and that it cannot come into
contact with collet and nut. Ensure
cutter and guide bush are concentric.
Router Cutter Repair/Maintenance
1. Repair of tools is only allowed in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
3. The design of composite (tipped) tools
shall not be changed in process of
repair. Composite tools shall be
repaired by a competent person i.e. a
person of training and experience, who
has knowledge of the design
requirements and understands the
levels of safety to be achieved.
4. Repair shall therefore include, e.g. the
use of spare parts which are in
accordance with the specification of
the original parts provided by the
manufacturer.
5. Tolerances which ensure correct
clamping shall be maintained.
6. Care shall be taken that regrinding of
the cutting edge will not cause
weakening of the body and the
connection of the cutting edge to the
body.

Panel Butt Connector Bolts
Ref. PC/10/M (
Pack of ten)
Panel butt connectors are essential for
connecting worktops. They fit into the recess on
the underside of the worktop and are tightened
with a 10mm spanner. The jig has integral bolt
recess slots to allow the bolt recess to be cut in
the underside of the worktop, using cutter. The
recess is elongated to allow easy access for the
spanner.
Biscuit Jointer for the Router
Ref. 342X1/2TC, TR35X1/2TC, C152X1/2TC
Worktops with inadequate support below them
need additional stability by biscuit jointing the
edges. The biscuit jointing set for the router
together with the No.20 biscuits will ensure
worktops do not sag or warp in time.
Flat Biscuit Dowels
Ref. BSC/20/100 (Pack of 100 biscuits)
Ref. BSC/20/1000 (Pack of 1000 biscuits)
Biscuits are used to strengthen the joint. When
used with PVA glue they expand ensuring a tight
joint.
Whenever clamps are used, ensure
they do not foul the router path and
that they are securely tightened.
Clamp

ASSEMBLY
Location Bush Identification
Three location bushes are used in different holes
in the jig to align the correct template aperture
for the application.
Setting out the Joints
When cutting a joint ensure location bushes
contact the postformed edge of the worktop. For
certain joints the worktop will need to be inverted
so that all cuts are made into the postformed
edge, never out through it. When routing worktop
the balancing paper on the underside may feather
edge – this feather edge should be removed with
abrasive paper.
Location bushes are held in position by ‘O’ rings.
Insert the smallest end of the bush into the hole
by lightly pushing and turning at the same time.
If the bushes are tight use a lubricant on the ‘O’
ring. Ensure bushes are fully home before use.
When using jig ensure location bushes do not
foul workbench.
28mm
In order to prevent breakout of the
laminate, rotation of the cutter and
feed direction must always be into the
postform edge of the worktop.
Margin Distance
Allow 8.5mm when cutting joints. Measure or
use a batten of this thickness to aid setting out.

OPERATION
Setting the Length Stop for the
Female Cut
Carry out the setting operation first:
■ With the label side uppermost fit the length
stop bush in one of the holes depending
on the width of the worktop. If worktop is
not 225mm, 325mm, 400mm, 500mm,
600mm or 616mm, a packing piece, or a
new hole to correct position will suffice.

Female Joint
■ Fit two location bushes in female holes as
shown. (The label must be uppermost.)
Leave the length stop bush in position.
■ Place the template onto the worktop to be
cut, ensuring the location bushes are
touching the worktop. Now cramp securely
in position using two quick action clamps
(with minimum of 100mm throat) ensuring
they will not foul the router path.
■ Set cutter depth.
■ Plunge router and cut joint in a series of
passes, feeding left to right. At end of each
cut release plunge.
When cutting a joint, hold the router
guide bush hard against the template
and cut from left to right. It is
recommended that the depth stops of
the router are used to set the depths
of cut. Several shallow passes of the
router should be made and it is not
necessary to lean heavily on the
router or the jig. Allow the weight of
the router to rest on the part of the
template which is resting on the
worktop. Ensure router remains
parallel and upright at all times.
Postform
edge
The edge of the jig slot that is not
used is notched to act as a visual
guide.
Release plunge on router at end of
each cut.
Ensure the router base will slide freely
over the label. The label can be
removed if necessary.

Male Joint
Depending on accessibility lay female worktop
into position on units. Lay male worktop on top
and support other end. Using a pencil draw
round the female cut onto the male from
underside. If inaccessible lay female onto male.
Depending on a right or left hand joint, the pencil
line may need to be transferred on to the other
side. Due to the difference between the cutter
and the guide bush diameters, the cutter path
will be 8.5mm over from the edge of the
template, therefore either measure 8.5mm or
use a packing piece of this size to offset the
template by this amount to ensure the cutter cuts
along the pencil line.
The postformed edge of the worktop must
always be in contact with the location bushes,
this means that to cut a male right hand joint, the
worktop must be inverted. Remembering to cut
into the postformed edge.
■ Insert two location bushes into male holes as
shown, label facing down.
■ Place template across the width of the
worktop and clamp securely to worktop.
■ Set cutter depth. Plunge router and cut the
male joint before finally cutting the work-top to
length. A series of passes should be made
feeding from left to right. At end of each cut
release plunge.

Cutting the Bolt Recesses
When the joint has been tested, proceed as
follows to cut the recess for panel butt
connectors bolt on the underside of the worktop.
The same cutter and guide bush are retained
and used with the integral bolt recess slots in the
jig to produce the recesses for the panel butt
connectors. The bolt recess position can be
gauged approximately 150mm from the edge of
the postform edge, or where access is possible
with kitchen units. Mark with pencil both
positions on the underside of the worktop.
Insert the location bushes into the bolt recess
holes as shown.
■ The template may need to be
inverted when cutting some bolt
recesses.
■ Securely clamp jig to worktop.
■ The bolt recesses should be approximately
20mm deep although this will depend upon
the thickness of worktop.
■ Once one bolt recess is cut move jig
over to the remaining pencil lines and repeat.
■ Repeat the procedure for the male joint.

Strengthening the Joint
If the joint between the worktops is not
supported underneath, after some time the joint
may ‘sag’ and become misaligned; to reduce this
the joint should be reinforced with a loose
tongue or biscuit dowels. The biscuit jointing
cutter set can be used with a portable router.
The size of biscuit used should be No. 20.
Ref. BSC/20/100 (100 biscuits)
A 600mm worktop should have at least 5
biscuits.
Sealing the Joint
The cut edges of the joint should be coated with
a water-resistant adhesive, or sealant before
assembly, to prevent moisture seeping into the
core of the worktops, which would swell, and
disfigure the worktop
