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. Donʼt over reach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Do not use

awkward or uncomfortable hand positions.

17. Donʼt 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

KWJ700

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 cutterʼs 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 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 power tool 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 3⁄4 of 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.

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. 1. Attention should be made to the

HSEʼs 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.

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.

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 the standard router cutter. The recess is elongated to allow easy access for the spanner.

Biscuit Jointer for the Router

Ref. 342X1/2TC Ref. TR35X1/2TC Ref. 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.

Location Pin Identification

Four location pins are used in different holes in the jig to align the correct template aperture for the application.

The holes are coded for easy identification with dots as follows:

F90 – Female Joint M90 –Male Joint F45 – Hob Mitre Joint B – Connector Bolt Recess

Location pins are tapered to ensure a good tight fit in hole. Insert the smallest end of the pin into the hole by lightly pushing. Ensure pins are fully home before use and head is below surface. When using jig ensure location pins do not foul workbench.

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

Setting out the Joints

When cutting a joint ensure location pins 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.

Ensure worktop is held securely to trestles. Ensure jig is clamped securely to worktop and placed at a comfortable work height.

Strengthening the Joint

No.20

PVA

SEALANT

Waterproof

If the joint between the worktops is not supported underneath, after some time the joint may ʻsagʼ and become misaligned; to reduce this the joint should be reinforced with a loose tongue or biscuit dowels. The biscuit jointing cutter set Ref. 342 or C152 can be used with a portable router. The size of biscuit used should be No. 20.

Ref. BSC/20/100 (100 biscuits)

A 650mm 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.

Use a fine grit abrasive paper to clean up the torn wood chips of both mating surfaces. Lightly run the abrasive paper along the edges to de-nib the cut chipboard edge. This will ensure a tidy joint is achieved.

45° Angle End Cut

Locate the template on the worktop and line up by eye, ensuring the jig is laid at least 8mm in from the edges of the worktop to allow for the cutter and guide bush offset. Secure the jig with clamps.

It is recommended that depth stops are used and three or four cuts taken. Cut from left to right.

In order to prevent break out of the laminate, rotation of the cutter and feed direction of the router must always be into the postform edge of worktop.

Corner Radius R40mm or R100mm

Special Note: Due to the nature of this particular cut, the corner radius will be more awkward to edge laminate.

When cutting the radius hold the router guide bush against the template radius. Feed left to right.

It is recommended that the router depth stops are used and three or four cuts are taken.

Routing 35mm Circular Hinge Recess

■ Mark the position of the hinge on the door. The centre of the holes should be roughly 100mm from the top of the door to give the required support, ensure this measurement is as accurate as possible.

■ Position two pins in the holes marked in the diagram right.

■ Position the jig as shown in the diagram with the two pins pushed up against the edge of the door.

■ Secure the jig with clamps.

■ Set the depth for 10mm.

■ Commence cutting of the recess making sure

to clean out the material in the centre of the hole as well as round the edge.

■ Repeat operation increasing the cut by 1mm, therefore setting the total depth for 11mm. (This should be enough clearance for most hinges. Adjust this measurement if you require holes for thicker hinge heads).
