OPERATION

1
1. Chip deflector
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the
motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do
not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer
work.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the bit
003670
CAUTION:
• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench provided with the
tool. A loose or overtightened bit can be dangerous.
• Use always a collet which is suitable for the shank diameter of the bit.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit or install small shank
bits without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the
collet cone.
• Use only router bits of which the maximum speed, as indicated on the bit,
does exceed the maximum speed of the router.
Insert the 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 bit as described above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
003803
CAUTION:
• Before operation, always make sure that the tool body automatically
rises to the upper limit and the bit does not protrude from the tool base
when the lock lever is loosened.
• Before operation, always make sure that the chip deflector is installed
properly.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any con-
tact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the
tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the
tool 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 bit in the feed direction.
