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,

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 EN847­1/2 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.

6. Respiratory protection. Wear a
face or dust mask, or powered
respirator. Dust masks/filters should
be changed regularly.

LOCK/JIG/A

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 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.

Always use router cutters in a router.

4.

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.

Before each use check that the

6.

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.

Cutters should be kept clean. Resin

7.

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

⁄

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.

Extension of the spanner or

16.

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.

After work, release the router plunge

2.

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.

Trial cuts should be made on waste

2.

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.

■ Remove the protective film from the spacer
fingers then place three spacer fingers onto
the spacer finger fixing stud. See Setting
the Spacers (right) for adjustment. Fit the
spring washer and the mini knob onto the
spacer finger fixing stud and tighten. Repeat
procedure for other assembly.

In some circumstances when a guide
bush with a long spigot is used it may
contact the clamping bar, if this occurs
a shallower spigot guide bush will be
required.

Setting the Spacer Fingers

■ Spacers may need to be used to ensure the
spigot of the guide bush will not contact the
door edge when routing.

■ Three spacers per end of the jig are provided
and can be parked against the jig body when
not required.

■ Clamp the jig to the door and place the router
fitted with guide bush into the aperture. If the
guide bush does not contact the door edge,
then no spacers need to be used.

■ If the guide bush contacts the door edge
calculate how many spacers are required.
Each spacer is 2mm thick.

■ To reposition the spacers, undo each of the
two M5 knobs, remove knob and washer and
lift off the spacers. Reposition the required
number of spacers by 90° so they line up
across the jig and replace all unused spacers.
Ensure an equal number of spacers are used
at each end. Refit the washers and the M5
knobs and tighten.

No spacer
fingers used.

One spacer
finger used.

Special Note:

The Ref. LOCK/JIG/A can be used to cut the face­plate recess in the edge of doors whilst it is hung.

The mortise should NOT be routed
when the door is hung.
Always ensure that the door is firmly
secured if routing the face-plate on a
hung door, so there is no possibility of
the door swinging open or shut.

OPERATION

Marking Out

■ Choose the position of the lock carefully.
Position the lock with the centre of the spindle
aperture at approximately 1m above the floor.
Whilst the lock is on the edge of the door,
mark the top and bottom of the lock case on
the door edge. Do not choose a position
where the cross member joins the stile as it
will weaken the door.

■ Then using a marking gauge set to half the
thickness of the door, join the marks to show
where the centre line of the mortise lock will
be. Ensure the centre line is long enough to
sight them on the centre line notches on the
jig body.

■ Mark a horizontal line across the edge at the
centre of your lock position. You now have
two centre lines to line up with the notches on
the jig body.

LOCK/JIG/A

■ Mark out the spindle and keyhole position on
the face of the door as normal using a paper
template or the lock body as shown with a
bradawl (ensuring the front of the lock is flush
with the door edge).

Ensure door is clamped and securely
held when using the jig.

Ensure working position is
comfortable, especially when setting
up and when routing a door edge.

LOCK/JIG/A

Centring the Jig

When using the lock jig, the clamp bar is used as the

datum edge. Before the jig can be used the clamp
bar datum has to be set by the user. The jig template
aperture recess has v notches that are punched into the
jig body. Due to the manufacturing tolerances there may
be some deviation between the v notches, subsequently
the notches should only be act as an initial guide to
position the jig on the door. Furthermore when the spacer
fingers are used this raises the jig higher making it more
difficult to align to the pencil marks to the v notches.

■ After the lock position has been marked on the
door, loosen the two lobe clamping knobs and
the three adjustable levers (which are a ratchet
type and require lifting to change their position)
so that the jig can fit to the door.

■ Initially set up jig using the v notches to get an
approximate centre of the door.

■ To set the jig accurately, either measure with
a rule or tape to position jig template aperture
recess centrally, or place the largest template
into the jig and look down vertically to gauge
position. Adjust the two clamping knobs
accordingly to move the jig forward or backwards
to centre. Once the jig is centred and parallel,
slide the clamping knob against the door edge
and tighten the adjustable levers.

■ Check clamping bar is fully against the door
edge and adjust adjustable levers if necessary.
The datum has now been set.

■ The jig can now be clamped into position by
tightening the two lobe knobs. Only gentle
pressure is required.

The jig template aperture recess
notches in the jig central aperture
are to be used as an initial visual
guide only, always check the jig and
template is centred to the door using
a rule or tape measure before routing.

Make sure the correct templates
are used for the mortise and for the
face-plate.

Do not over-tighten lobe knobs as
damage to the door or jig may occur.

■ Once set, the only marking requirement for
further doors of same thickness is a single offset
measurement from the rail or bottom of the door
to the top of the jig.

Special Note:

If fitting the lock to a non-solid core door, ensure
the lock block is located first.

Trial cuts should be made on waste
material to check correct templates
have been selected, the jig is set up
accurately and that the face plate /
mortise is central.

The result of using this jig depends
on how accurately the lock markings
on the door are marked and how
accurately the jig is set.

See special
note on page 7.

Routing the Mortise

■ Fit the relevant mortise template to the jig
body eg A . Ensure that seating for template is
free of wood dust.

■ Plunge rout the mortise by drilling a series of
overlapping holes no more than 20mm deep.

■ Make sure plunge locking lever of router
is locked and then clean up by making a
shallow pass no more than 20mm around the
template in a clock-wise direction.

■ Remove loose waste with a screwdriver and
vacuum extractor and repeat plunge and rout
operations until full depth is achieved.

■ Deepening of mortise with auger bit and drill
will be required. See page 15.

See special
note on page 7.

Routing the Face-plate

■ Fit the relevant face-plate template eg 1.
Ensure seating is clear of any wood dust or
swarf.

■ Zero the depth of the cutter, by lowering it
until it touches the door edge.

■ Insert the lock fixing plate together with the
face-plate between the revolving depth guide
and the fine adjuster screw. Lower the fine
adjuster (1) and lock it off (2) see picture.

■ Release the plunge locking lever.

■ To rout the face-plate, plunge cutter to full

depth of face-plate in the middle of the
template and lock off plunge.

■ Rout in a clockwise direction to the set depth.
Release the plunge locking lever.

After use, keep jig assembled and store

carefully.

Rout in shallow passes. Do not
attempt to increase the depth of cut
by having less than the optimum
length of the cutter’s shank inserted
in the collet of your router. Trial
cuts should be made on waste
material to check the fit before
routing the door.

To set cutter plunge depth measure
the depth of the lock body from the
face to the back and add 3mm to
allow for clearance.

Finishing

■ For square faceplate locks the corners of the
face-plate recess will need squaring off with a
sharp chisel. Alternatively the Trend Corner
Chisel Ref. C/CHISEL, can be used to square
off the rounded corners with one tap of a
hammer.

Deeper Mortise

■ Should you need to cut the mortise deeper
than the maximum depth possible with the
router cutter or router, use a relevant sized
auger bit in an electric drill to complete the
operation.
