WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Always move your router as indicated
in fig. L (outer edges/inner edges).
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 1, 12)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the each
grip (j), as shown.
Switching On and Off (fi g. 1A, 4)
1. On: pull the switch (a) up.
2. Off: press the switch (a) down.
WARNING: Loosen the plunge limiter
and allow the router carriage to regain
its rest position before switching off.
Using the Guide Bushes (fi g. 9)
1. Secure the template to the workpiece using end
clamps.
2. Select and install an appropriate guide bush
(ee).
3. Subtract the diameter of the cutter from the
outside diameter of the guide bush and divide
by 2. This is the difference between template
and workpiece.
WARNING: If the work piece is not thick
enough, place it on a piece of waste
wood.
Guiding Off a Batten
Where an edge guide cannot be used, it is also
possible to guide the router along a batten clamped
across the workpiece (with an overhang at both
ends.)
Freehand Routing
Your router can also be used without any sort of
guide, e.g. for signwriting or creative work.
WARNING: Make shallow cuts only!
Use cutters with a max. diameter of
6 mm.
Routing with Pilot Cutters (fi g. 2)
Where a parallel guide or guide bush are
inappropriate, it is possible to use pilot cutters (x) for
cutting shaped edges.
These include collets (6 - 12.7 mm), a height
adjusting tool and router table for use in inverted
position, finger jointing tools for dovetail and finger
jointing jigs, dovetail jointing templates, adjustable
guide bush holder and guide bushes and guide rails
in various lengths.
