FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever
and lower the tool body until the router bit just touches
the flat surface. Press the lock lever down to lock the
tool body. While pressing the fast-feed button, move the
stopper pole up or down until the desired depth of cut is
obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by
turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm (1/16") per turn).

CAUTION:
The depth of cut should not be
more than 20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting
grooves. For extra-deep grooving operations,
make two or three passes with progressively
deeper router bit settings.
Nylon nut
For tool without the knob
The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by
turning the nylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low.
The router bit will protrude dangerously.
For tool with the knob
By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can
be adjusted. When the tip of the router bit is retracted
more than required in relation to the base plate surface,
turn the knob to lower the upper limit. Do not lower the
knob too low. The router bit will protrude dangerously.
► Fig.2: 1. Knob
CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause
overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling
the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than
20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting grooves.
When you wish to cut grooves more than 20 mm
(13/16") deep, make several passes with progres-
sively deeper router bit settings.
CAUTION:
Do not lower the knob too low. The
router bit will protrude dangerously.
Stopper block
As the rotary stopper has three adjusting hex bolts, you
can easily obtain three different depths of cut without
readjusting the stopper pole. To adjust the hex bolts,
loosen the hex nuts on them and turn the hex bolts.
After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts
to secure the hex bolts.

Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the tool is switched off.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the shaft lock is
released before the switch is turned on.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O position.

CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly when turning
off the tool, to overcome the reaction.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the router bit
Insert the router bit all the way into the collet cone.
Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and
use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When
using router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert
the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then
install the router bit as illustrated.
To remove the router bit, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.
