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.
6. Respiratory protection. Wear a
face or dust mask, or powered
respirator. Dust masks/filters should
be changed regularly.
Page 4
H/JIG/C
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
EHRSSRVLWHWRWKHFXWWHU·VGLUHFWLRQ
of rotation. Do not back-cut or climbcut.
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
is held in the collet. Ensure clamping
3
¼
4
of the shank length
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.
14. 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
+6(·V6DIH8VHRI9HUWLFDO6SLQGOH
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
-3-
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Tolerances which ensure correct
clamping shall be maintained.
5. 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.

Setting up the Plunge Router
The guide bush fits directly to the Trend T5
Router. To fit the guide bush to other makes
and models, a universal sub-base Ref.
UNIBASE or circular sub-base Ref. GB/5 can
be used.
The Ref. UNIBASE is designed to suit the
most popular plunge type routers (please see
our website for compatibility). The Ref. GB/5
can be re-drilled by the user.
H/JIG/C
The T4 router will require a Unibase
to accept the guide bush or special
accessory guide bush Ref. GB/T4/160
can be used.
Q Fit the guide bush to the base of the router
using the screws supplied with the router.
Q The Ref. UNIBASE Universal Sub-base
has a central recess to allow fitting of
the special guide bush Ref. GB160. The
sub-base is supplied drilled to fit the most
popular makes of routers.
If there is any doubt about the
concentricity of the cutter relative to
the guide bush, then a false sub-base
should be used in order to ensure an
accurate fit of hinges. For all other
makes of router, the sub-base to suit
your router will need to be purchased.
It is recommended that a plunge
router is used with the hinge jig.

OPERATION
Setting the Jig for Hinge Recessing
The jig sliding blocks will need to set depending
on the door size and hinge length and width.
The following setting up operation will only need
to be carried out once for a set of doors having
the same height dimensions and hinge sizes.
Setting the Positions of the Sliding
Blocks
Before use the jig will need to be set to suit
standard door hinge positions. The jig has been
designed to cater for the traditional positions of
the hinges on a door as follows:
Top hinge - Located 152.4mm (6”) from
the top of the door.
Bottom hinge - Located 200mm (9”) from the
bottom of the door.
Centre hinge - Centrally between the top and
bottom hinges.
The sliding blocks can be slid along the
extrusion and locked in place with the sliding
block locking knob. By turning the knob in the
direction of the padlock symbol the block can be
locked or unlocked.
Locked Unlocked
Lay the jig onto a flat surface e.g. the edge of
the door. Ensure the jig is held securely. The
procedure for setting the position of each hinge
is as follows:-
Q Loosen sliding block locking knob.
Q Measure required position of hinges using a
tape measure.
Q Slide all upper sliding blocks to required
position.
Q Tighten sliding block locking knobs.
Ensure barrel is turned in the correct
direction to lock or unlock otherwise
the extrusions may bow.
The upper sliding block will need to be set to 6”
down by lining up 2mm offset setting horns with
the scribed line.

Setting the Depth of the Recess
The depth of the recess must be the same
thickness as the hinge or slightly deeper. Most
routers are fitted with a depth stop to limit the
depth of plunge of the router. Refer to your
URXWHU·VLQVWUXFWLRQPDQXDOIRUSDUWLFXODUGHWDLOV
on using the depth stop. The depth of the
recess for the hinge is set as follows:
Q Release depth gauge on the router.
Q Place jig onto the edge of the door.
Q Place router onto jig and locate guide bush
into one of the apertures of the jig.
Q Plunge cutter through aperture until it touches
the edge of the door.
Q/RFNWKHURXWHU·VFDUULDJHLQWKLVSRVLWLRQ
Q Move depth gauge up by the thickness of the
hinge by:
1. Either using the depth gauge
measurement/dial
or
2. Placing a leaf of the hinge between
the depth gauge and the stop.
Q Lock off depth stop and remove hinge.
Q Check the depth of the cutter is correct by
first fully plunging the router and locking the
plunge mechanism. Invert the router and
place the jig over the guide bush, now check
that the cutter protrudes past the template the
same distance as the thickness of the hinge.
Double check all settings, ensure all screws are
tight. Setting up is complete.
Setting Jig to Existing Hinge Recess
Position in a Frame
The sliding blocks allow the jig to be adjusted to
suit existing hinge recess positions in a frame.
The hinge positions can be measured and
transferred to the jig or the jig can be set to the
door frame. To set jig to the frame:
Q Loosen edge guides and move away.
Q Fit jig to door frame and hold in position
temporarily by placing a bradawl into joint
block. Loosen locking knobs and slide
aperture blocks so that the 2mm offset on the
block is in line with the hinge recess.
Q Tighten locking knob.
Q Repeat for all aperture blocks.
Q Once hinge length is set, slide edge guides to
edge of frame and tighten guides.

Routing Hinge Recesses in the Door
Q The door should be laid on its edge with the
hanging edge of the door facing upwards. Use the
conventional block and wedge or door stand to
keep the door securely in this position.
Q Place the jig onto the edge of the door. Ensure
that the jig is placed the correct way round so that
the edge stops are on the knuckle edge of the door.
The swivel end plate should be at the top of the
door.
Q Ensure swivel end plate is correct way around.
Slide the jig down the door until the swivel end
plate touches the top of the door.
Q Push the jig up to the door so that the edge guides
touch the opening face of the door.
Q Without letting the jig move, locate the bradawls
into the bradawl holes. Use at least three bradawls
to hold the jig: in the top lower sliding block, fixed
jointing block and bottom upper sliding block.
Q Hammer the bradawls carefully into the edge of the
door until the bradawls touch the face of the jig.
Q Now plug in the router and place the router with
cutter and guide bush fitted into the first aperture of

Routing Hinge Recesses in the Frame
Q No adjustments are necessary to the jig or
the router.
Q Using the opposite side of the jig, butt the top
of the jig into the head of the frame and up
against the hanging jamb until the pins touch
the opening edge of the frame.
Q Without letting the jig move, locate the
bradawls into the bradawl holes. Use three
bradawls to hold the jig: In the top lower
sliding block, fixed jointing block and bottom
upper sliding block. Always place a bradawl
in the fixed jointing block.
Q Hammer the bradawls carefully into the door
frame until the nylon spacer fitted to the
bradawl touches the face of the jig.
Q Now plug in the router and place the router
with cutter and guide bush fitted, into the first
aperture of the jig. Do not use the wavy edge
on the blocks as a guide.
Q A fourth bradawl is supplied if there is frame
or jig bow.
H/JIG/C
Extra care must be taken when routing
top hinge.
Ensure working position is comfortable,
especially when setting up the jig and
routing a hinge recess in a door.
Always ensure at least three bradawls
are used to hold jig: top lower sliding
block, fixed jointing block and bottom
upper sliding block.
Always place one bradawl in the fixed
jointing block.

Q Position the guide bush in any corner of an
aperture and plunge cutter into frame until depth,
set by depth stop, is reached. Lock the carriage of
the router in this position. Immediately start routing
around the aperture in a clockwise direction. Then
remove the waste from the centre of the aperture.

H/JIG/C
Ensure the cutter and guide bush are
positioned in the correct apertures. Do not
use wavy edge on the blocks as a guide.
After use of the jig, vacuum any dirt/debris from
inside the extrusion channels. The jig should be
disassembled by loosening the secondary locking
knob and then loosen the joint block knurled locking
knob. A tommy bar or 50mm long 1/4” hex shank
tool can be used in the holes if tight.
The jig should then be stored carefully.
-16-
Release the plunge action on
the router after each hinge, as
not doing so could result into
cutting into the edge of the jig
and causing damage.

Fitting the Door
Q Fit hinges to door and raise upright.
Q Use a jack to raise door until hinges align
with recess.
Q Screw leafs to frame.
Providing procedure is carried out correctly and
that the frame/lining is plumb and parallel, then
no adjustment should be necessary due to the
identical mirror image positioning of the recesses
in both the door and the frame.
H/JIG/C
Other Points
If a larger gap is required to accommodate
smokeseal or draft excluder, a packing piece
can be temporarily glued or stuck to the swivel
end plate in order to utilise the jig in the same
technique and achieve accurate results.
If a new door is being hung in an existing frame
or lining, the door height may be shortened by a
timber threshold or parquet flooring or by a new
screed. This may cause problems with the jig
fitting the door.
Finishing the Frames
The holes left by the bradawls are on both
closing edges of the door and frame and are
very unobtrusive. These can be easily filled with
a matching coloured filler.
