Hardwood & Iron-on Edging
Trim Instructions
The CRB fi tted with the edge trimming kit is a fast and
accurate method of consistently trimming solid hardwood
and iron on edging fl ush with its core panel.
Positioning of the Router Cutter
■ Fit the edge trimming kit to the CRB as detailed above.
■ Slide the router onto the CRB guide rods and butt the
router base edge up against the bridge.
■ Position the CRB baseplate so that the guide bearing
over hangs the workpiece and butts up against the
workpiece edging.
■ Slide the router forward so that the router cutter can
safely pass through the CRB riser pad letterbox and
position the router cutter directly over the edging to be
routed.
■ Lock the router pinch-bolt on the CRB’s adjuster rod
and micro adjuster if required.

Edging
Workpiece
Always isolate router from power supply before
making any adjustments.
If the edging width exceeds 16mm remove the bearing
guided copy follower assembly and take multiple
routing passes. The fi rst pass should slightly overlap
the core board, for subsequent passes incrementally
work outwards over the outside edge of the hardwood
lipping until fl ush with the core board.
Setting the Router Cutter Depth
■ Take the CRB router assembly and position onto a fl at
surface with the guide bearing butted against the edge.
Setting the depth of the router cutter should be
carried out on a separate work surface to avoid
damaging your work piece.
■ Lower the router cutter so that the cutter tip just makes
contact with the surface and lock the router cutter
height in.
■ Test the router cutter depth by sliding the CRB router
assembly over a flat waste board. The router cutter
should just make a slight mark - but not actually
remove any material from the surface of the waste
board.

Safety Points
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 and cutter has stopped rotating.
2. Read and understand instructions supplied with power tool,
attachment and cutter.
3. Current Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for eye, ear and
respiratory protection must be worn. Keep hands, hair and clothes
clear of the cutter.
4. Before each use check cutter is sharp and free from damage.
Do not use if cutter is dull, broken or cracked or if any damage
is noticeable or suspected.
5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on tool or in instructions or
on packaging shall not be exceeded. Where stated, the speed
range should be adhered to.
6. Insert the shank into the router collet at least all the way to the
marked line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of
shank length is held in collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are clean.
7. Check all fi xing and fastening nuts, bolts and screws on power tool,
attachment and cutting tools are correctly assembled, tight and to
correct torque setting before use.
8. Ensure all visors, guards and dust extraction is fi tted.
9. The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter’s
direction of rotation.
10. Do not switch power tool on with the cutter touching the workpiece.
11. Trial cuts should be made in waste material before starting any
project.
12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to tool manufacturers
instructions.
13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass, take shallow passes to reduce
the side load applied to the cutter.
