OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
LED WORKLIGHTS
The router motor has 3 built-in worklights located around the
collet/nut for high visibility of workpiece when cutting. These
lights are always "on" when the toggle switch/trigger switch
is in the "on° position.
HEAVY-DUTY EDGE GUIDE
The router combo comes with a heavy-duty edge guide. This
edge guide can be used as an aid in routing applications such
as decorative edging, straight edge plannlng and trimming,
grooving, dadoing and slotting. To attach the edge guide to the
base, simply insert the edgeguide rods into edge-guide mounting
slots, adjust it to the desired position, and lock down with the
edge-guide locking knobs.
SELECTING THE CUTTING BIT
This router comes with 1/4-in. and 1/2-in. collets/ nuts that
accept 1/4-inch-diameter and 1/2-inch-diameter shanked
cutting bits, respectively.
NOTE: The sub-base installed on this router has an opening of
1-1/4-inches. To use cutting bits with a larger diameter, use a
sub-base with a larger opening.
WARNING
When using router cutting bits with a cutter
diameter larger than 1-1/2 inches, always have the
speed dial set at number 1 or 2. Refer to the Variable
Speed Selection Chart located on top cap of the router
motor for the maximum speeds to use with various
cuttingbit diameters. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause loss of control of the router in the
workpiece, causing possibly serious personal injury.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE CUTTING BIT
INSTALLING THE CUTTING BIT
1. Turn router motor off and unplug it from the power source.
2. Rest the router with the collet/nut pointing at you.
3. Press the spindle-Iock button to engage and lock
the spindle shaft and collet/nut.
4. Place the wrench on the collet/nut, and turn it
counter-clockwise to loosen collet/nut slightly to accept
the cutting-bit shank.
5. Insert the cutting bit shank into the collet/nut assembly as
far as it will go, then back the shank out until the cutters
are approximately 1/8 to 1/4 in. away from the face of
the collet/nut.
6. With the cutting bit inserted and the spindle lock button
pressed in to engage the shaft, place the wrench on the
collet/nut and turn it clockwise until the router-cutting bit
and the collet/nut are firmly tightened.
WARNING
Tighten the collet/nut securely to prevent
the cutting bit from slipping. If the collet/nut is not
securely tightened, the cutting bit may detach during
use, causing serious personal injury.
NOTE: To ensure proper gripping of cutting-bit shank
and minimize run-out, the shank of the cutting bit must
be inserted into the collet/nut at least 5/8-inch.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to tool, do not tighten
the collet/nut without a cutting bit installed.
REMOVING THE CUTTING BIT
1. Follow steps 1-4 from the "INSTALLING AND
REMOVING THE CUTTING BIT" section.
2. Remove the cutting-bit shank.
NOTE: The collet/nut is self-releasing; it is not necessary
to strike the collet/nut to free the router cutting bit. If the
cutting bit seems stuck after use, loosen the collet/nut a
little more until it releases.
COLLET/NUT CARE
1. From time to time, inspect the collet/nut to make sure that
it is clean and that it is gripping the cutting bit properly.
2. With the router cutting bit removed and the spindle lock
engaged, turn the collet/nut counterclockwise until it is
free from the motor's spindle shaft.
3. Blow the collet out with compressed air, and clean the
tapered inside of the collet/nut with a tissue or a fine brush.
4. Always make sure that the cutting-bit shank, collet/nut,
and router-motor spindle are clean and free of woodchips,
dust, residue, grease, and rust before installing.
5. Apply a small amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if
it looks dry.
6. Replace worn or damaged collets/nuts immediately.
CUTTING BITS
IMPORTANT
Get faster, more accurate cutting results
by keeping cutting bits clean and sharp.
1. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutting bits
after each use.
2. When sharpening cutting bits, sharpen only the inside of
the cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter.
3. Be sure, when sharpening the end of a cutting bit, to grind
so that the clearance angle remains the same as it was
originally.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
IMPORTANT
Your router should never be turned on or
connected to the power source when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, installing or removing
collets/nuts or cutting bits. cleaning, or when it is not in
use. Disconnecting the router will prevent accidental
starting, which could cause serious personal injury.
NOTE: depth adjustment on the base must be made with
the router motor clamp open.
NOTE: For the Base, the cutting bit depth equals the
amount of the cutter that is exposed below the surface of
the sub-base.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the wing locking clamp, release lever press down the
router until the tool barely touches the workpiece and secure the
clamp lever again. Set the depth as close to zero of the scale.
QUICK SELECTION CUTTING DEPTH
Using the depth stop knob, it is possible to select quickly
between points pre-set depth (the position right below
the depth stop define the depth of cut).
Pull the crown of the depth of its current point of attachment
and turn the depth of cut (below the top position in depth).
Check the depth stop knob is secured at a fixed point.
NOTE: making a single, deep cut is never advisable. Smaller
diameter cutting bits are easily broken by too much side thrust
and torque. Larger cutting bits will cause a rough cut and be
difficult to guide and control. For these reasons, do not exceed
1/8-in. depth of cut in a single pass.
