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 jewellery, 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.

-2-

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. Always 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

CDJ300 & CDJ600

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.

10.Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting the “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts
of the powertool “live” and shock the
operator.

11.Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.

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
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 tightening

16.

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.

18. Do not touch the cutter immediately
after operation; it may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.

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
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.

Edge Guide Holes

The edge guides are used
to position the workpiece
within the jig. There are
four holes in each jig.
The CDJ300 has fixed
edge guides, therefore
these will dictate whether
a whole or part pin will be
cut on the workpiece. This
is called the offset.
User made spacers could
be used to pack out from
both edge guides to
equal the joint and give
symmetrical joint.

The distance between U1
and U2 is 9.5mm. This is
for rebated drawer fronts.

Guide Bushes

The bushes supplied with
the jig and accessories are
a standard Trend pattern.
They will fit most Trend,
Elu and DeWalt routers
directly.

For other makes and
model of router a sub-base
may be required to allow
the guide bush to be fitted.
The Ref. UNIBASE has
been designed for use
with a variety of routers; it
also ensures concentricity
between cutter and guide
bush ensuring accuracy.

For Trend T3/T4 it is
recommended that the
Ref. UNIBASE is used to
provide greater accuracy
and support to the router
base.
It also ensures that
the guide bush spigot
will project sufficiently
from the router base,
alternatively a longer
spigot guide bush is
supplied for certain
template accessories.

Making a Router
Stand Block

As the cutter should not
be retracted into the router
when dovetailing, a useful
aid is a Router Stand
Block.
This is simply a piece of
scrap timber with a hole
large enough to take the
protruding guide bush and
cutter. This will allow the
router to stand up safely
between operations.

TIMBER
PREPARATION

It is important to plan
your work before starting
to save set-up time and
avoid costly mistakes.
Both sides of the jig can
be used to make joints. It
is advisable however to
clamp the workpiece to
one side of the jig. This
ensures it is clamped
securely.

Lapped Dovetails

When lapped dovetailing
label the pieces as front,
back, and sides. Mark
faces as inside and out.

Label the dovetail pieces
as shown, A parts will
be clamped under front
clamp bar, B pieces under
top clamping bar. Even
numbers against left-hand
edge guide odd numbers
under right hand edge
guides.

Face sides must be
towards jig body.

For drawers the front is
thicker than the sides.

Before jointing the actual
workpiece make trial cuts
in pieces of waste timber,
the same thickness as
the workpieces in order to
test depth of pin sockets.

Ensure all pieces are cut
to size and checked for
squareness.

Label the dovetail pieces
as shown. A parts will be
clamped under front clamp
bar and routed first with
dovetail cutter. B pieces are
clamped under front bar and
routed with a straight cutter.

When routing pins - outside
faces (face side) must be
away from jig body (B1,B2,
B3, B4).

When routing tails - outside
faces (face side) must be
towards the jig body (A1, A2,
A3, A4).

Before joining the actual
workpiece make a trial cut in
waste scrap timber.

Ensure all pieces are cut
to size and checked for

OPERATION

Routing the
Workpiece

For Lapped Dovetail
Joints

Make one very light cut from
right to left, cutting only the
front edge. This will prevent
breakout.

Carefully rout from left to right
following the guide bush in
each of the template comb
slots (see illustrations on
right).

For Box Joints

Carefully rout from left to right
following the guide bush in
the each of the slots. Ensure
the guide bush is kept against
the left hand side of the
template comb fingers on all
cuts.

Cut full depth in one pass
where possible. If timber
is hard, achieve depth in a
number of passes.

CDJ300 & CDJ600

For Dowel Joints

For dowel hole in face of
workpiece, the depth of
cut will be half thickness of
workpiece.

For dowel hole in end of
workpiece, depth will need to
allow for remainder of dowel
length.

For Through
Dovetails

Carefully rout from left to right
following the guide bush in
the each of the template slots.

Cut full depth when using the
dovetail cutter. If timber is
hard take fine cuts.

Preventing Tear Out

This occurs when cutting
across the grain and can be
overcome by scribing the
ends of the timber with a
marking knife or gauge at the
height of the cutter.

Setting the Depth
of Cut in the Future

To ease setting up of the
cutter height in the future,
rout another joint and keep
this piece to set the cutter
depth in future.

Do not lift the router
from the template
with the guide bush
engaged in the slots
as damage to the
template will occur.
