OPERATION
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. (Fig. 6)
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the
bit making any contact. 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, keep-
ing 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. (Fig. 7)
NOTE:
• 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 and mar the cut. The
proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of
workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut
on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sam-
ple cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show
exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to
check dimensions. (Fig. 8)
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 work-
piece.
Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Straight guide (Type A) (optional accessory) (Fig. 9)
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the
thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in
the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To adjust
the distance between the bit and the straight guide,
loosen the thumb screw (B) and turn the fine adjusting
screw. At the desired distance, tighten the thumb screw
(B) to secure the straight guide in place.
Straight guide (Type B) (optional accessory) (Fig. 10)
Insert the straight guide into the holes in the tool base
and tighten the thumb screw. To adjust the distance
between the bit and the straight guide, loosen the thumb
screw. At the desired distance, tighten the thumb screw
to secure the straight guide in place.
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be made
by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt on
extra pieces of wood. (Fig. 11)
When using a large diameter bit, attach pieces of wood
to the straight guide which have a thickness of more than
15 mm to prevent the bit from striking the straight guide.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.

Templet guide
(Fig. 12, 13 & 14)
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the tool with templet patterns.
To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the tool
base, insert the templet guide and then tighten the
screws.
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on
the templet and move the tool with the templet guide slid-
ing along the side of the templet.
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from
the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the bit
and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X)
can be calculated by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide –
bit diameter) / 2
Trimmer guide
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide
roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
Trimmer guide (Type A) (optional accessory) (Fig. 15)
Install the trimmer guide on the guide holder with the
thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in
the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To adjust
the distance between the bit and the trimmer guide,
loosen the thumb screw (B) and turn the fine adjusting
screw. When adjusting the guide roller up or down,
loosen the thumb screw (C). After adjusting, tighten all
the thumb screws securely.
Trimmer guide (Type B) (optional accessory) (Fig. 16)
Install the trimmer guide on the straight guide with the
thumb screws (B). Insert the straight guide into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer
guide, loosen the thumb screws (B). When adjusting the
guide roller up or down, loosen the thumb screw (C).
After adjusting, tighten all the thumb screws securely.
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding
the side of the workpiece. (Fig. 17)
Dust cover (For tool with the knob) (optional
accessory) (Fig. 18)
Dust cover prevents sawdust from being drawn into the
tool in the inverted position.
Install the dust cover as illustrated when using the tool
with a router stand available in the market.
Remove it when using the tool in the normal position.
Spacer (For tool with the knob) (optional
accessory) (Fig. 19)
The spacer prevents the router bit from dropping into the
chuck when replacing the bit in the inverted position.
Insert the spacer as illustrated when using the tool with a
router stand available in the market.
