Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as
well as suitable non-fabric gloves, when working with this tool.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Motor Vents (7) and other vents of the tool are kept clean. Metallic
swarf, fibre glass, plaster and other particles and dust can damage the tool if allowed to
enter the Motor Vents. Use a vacuum cleaner to ensure the vents are clean. If necessary
blow out with compressed air.
Adjusting the plunge depth
1. Release the plunge mechanism by rotating the Plunge Lock Lever (9) to its upper
position
2. The Depth Stop (22) can be adjusted by slackening the Depth Stop Lock (21), and
moving the Depth Stop to the required position
3. Retighten the Depth Stop Lock at the correct height for the required cut so when
plunged the correct depth of the router bit cutter is exposed to the material
• The scale on the Depth Stop can be used to check changes in depth setting, but actual
cutting depth is best measured by making a trial cut on scrap material
Setting the depth of cut with the plunge base
• To lock the router at a set depth of cut without using plunge in use, plunge the router
head down and rotate the Plunge Lock Lever (9) to its lower position. This will hold the
router head in this position.
IMPORTANT: It is more dangerous to start the router with the cutter already exposed below
the base and requires extra care in use.
Making multiple pass cuts
1. The Turret Stop (20) allows the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in up to 6
steps. Each step of the turret is equal to approximately 4.5mm depth of cut. Set the
desired total depth of cut using the depth stop, to the lowest turret step
2. Rotate the Turret Stop so the Depth Stop will contact the highest step when the
router is plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made
3. Continue to make passes, rotating the turret stop anti-clockwise by one step for
each pass until the full depth of cut has been achieved
Note: For total cuts of less than 20mm the number of steps will be reduced.
Setting the depth of cut with the trimmer base
IMPORTANT: The small base means there is a greater risk of being cut by the fitted router
cutter when adjusting depth of cut. Extra care is necessary.
1. Adjust the height of the Trimmer Base (25) by loosening the Height Adjustment
Screw (26) until the base can be moved easily but holds its position and adjust the
height of the Trimmer Base to the required position
2. Re-tighten the Height Adjustment Screw
Switching on and off
1. Ensure the router bit is held securely in the collet, and that the router bit cutter is not
in contact with the workpiece or any other object
2. To start the motor, slide the On/Off Switch (2) away from the body of the tool as
indicated by the arrow. The motor will start.
• To stop the motor, slide the On/Off Switch towards the body of the tool
Speed control
• The speed of the router is set using the Variable Speed Dial (3): a higher number on the
dial corresponds to a higher motor speed
• Choosing the correct speed for the router bit and material will produce a higher quality
of finish, and prolong the service life of your router bits
Making a cut
IMPORTANT: When using the trimmer base take extra care. The small base means the tool
is less stable and the hand positions are not as safe as the plunge base. Work more slowly
and carefully and be ready to push the On/Off Switch (2) in while operating
Note: NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be
provided by a bearing guided router bit cutter, the Parallel Guide (30), or a straight edge.
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure the
workpiece will not move. Use clamps wherever possible
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly,
keeping the Base Plate (17) held flat against the workpiece
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side relative to the
cutting direction. Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily
through the material. Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow the rate
of progress
Note: To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anticlockwise for external cuts, and clockwise
for internal cuts.
Note: Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish and overloading of the
motor. Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.
Note: Normal operation of a router is to plunge the head after the router has been
switched on.

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs
should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies
to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft
brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Lubrication
• All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade
lubricant for the life of the unit under normal conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an authorised
service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to
dispose of power tools
