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
CAUTION:
Install the router bit securely.
Always use only the wrench provided with the
tool. A loose or overtightened router bit can be
dangerous.

Do not tighten the collet nut without
inserting a router bit or install small shank bits
without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to
breakage of the collet cone.
1. Insert the router bit all the way into the collet cone.
2.
Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary
and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.

OPERATION

WARNING:
sure that the stopper pole is secured firmly by the
stopper pole setting nut. Otherwise the depth of
cut may change during operation and cause personal
injury.
CAUTION:
sure that the tool body automatically rises to
the upper limit and the router bit does not pro-
trude from the tool base when the lock knob is
loosened.
CAUTION:
hold the tool by both grips during operations.
1. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the router bit making any contact.
2.
Turn the tool on and wait until the router bit attains
full speed.
3. Lower the tool body and move the tool forward
over the workpiece surface, keeping the base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.

NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the router bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn
and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on
the router bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth
of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it
is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions.
NOTE: When using the straight guide or the trimmer
guide, be sure to install it on the right side in the feed
direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of
the workpiece.
