5.2.
To turn on the tool, press the stop / start button (fig.1) To stop, push a second time.
5.3.
To adjust cutting depth, open the lock lever, then move the tool base up or down by turning the adjusting screw and referring to the
scale marking on the body. After adjustment, close the lock firmly. When loosening the lock lever you can also remove the base. (fig.1)
5.3.1.
Set the tool base on the workpiece without the router bit making any contact. Turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed.
Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface. Keep the tool base flush while moving the tool. When cutting the edge, be sure to
keep the workpiece surface on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.
NOTE: Before cutting the actual workpiece, it is recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed speed depends on the bit
size, the kind of workpiece,and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn the cut.
NOTE:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than
3 mm (1/8") at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm (1/8") deep, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.

ATTACHING THE STRAIGHT GUIDE. (fig.4)
fig.4
5.4.1.
Assemble the straight guide with the bolt and the wing nut.
5.4.2.
Attach the straight guide to the router base with the clamp screw.
5.4.3.
Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the distance between the bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance,
tighten the wing nut.
5.5.
ATTACHING THE TEMPLATE GUIDE (fig.5)
5.5.1.
The template guide allows for repetitive cut with template patterns by using a template. Loosen the screws on the base plate, and then
remove the base plate from the router base. Place the template guide on the base, and then reattach the base plate by tightening
the screws.
5.5.2.
Place the tool on the template and move the tool with the template guide sliding along the side of the template.
NOTE: The actual cut size on the workpiece is slightly different from the template. The difference is the distance (X) between the
router bit and the outside of the template guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the following equation: Distance (X) =
(outside diameter of template guide - router bit diameter) / 2 (fig.6)
5.6.
ATTACHING THE ROUTER GUIDE (fig.6)
NOTE: The router guide allows for trimming curved side like veneers for furniture by moving the guide roller along the side of the
workpiece.
5.6.1.
Loosen the clamp screw, then install the router guide on the router base, and then tighten the clamp screw.
5.6.2.
Loosen the clamp screw and adjust the distance between the router bit and the router guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm
(3/64") per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamp screw to secure the router guide.
5.6.3.
Move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the workpiece (fig.6, fig.7).
