- turn tool upside down
- lock shaft by pushing shaft lock A (rotate collet nut B,
if necessary) and hold it while you
FOR MOUNTING:
- loosen collet nut B with wrench C
- insert bit 3/4 in collet
- tighten collet nut firmly with wrench C
FOR REMOVING:
- loosen collet nut B with wrench C
- remove bit
- release shaft lock A
! for loosening router bit it may be necessary to tap
collet nut with wrench (figure 4)
! never tighten collet nut, if there is no router bit in
collet; collet may be damaged
• CHANGING COLLET
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
! ensure that collet shaft is perfectly clean
- loosen collet nut B 2 or 3 turns
- tap collet nut B with wrench C
- remove collet nut B and collet (lock shaft)
- turn tool upside down
- insert new collet in collet shaft
- mount collet nut B (lock shaft)
! never tighten collet nut, if there is no router bit in
collet; collet may be damaged
• ADJUSTING ROUTING DEPTH/DEPTH STOP
TURRET (Figure 1)
EXAMPLE
Desired routing depths 7 mm (X), 11 mm (Y) and
17 mm (Z)
STEP 1:
- lift lever E
- loosen knob F so that depth gauge G moves freely
- push tool down until router bit is in contact with
workpiece
- push lever E back
- rotate turret H so that depth stop X clicks into place
right under depth gauge G
- note value as indicated on depth scale (e.g. 35 mm)
(for zeroing)
STEP 2:
- define difference among desired routing depths; use
lowest routing depth as reference (. X->Y = 4 mm;. X-
>Z = 10 mm)
- rotate turret H so that depth stop Z clicks into place
right under depth gauge G
- adjust depth stop Z (loosen nut, turn screw so that
depth gauge G reaches value noted minus 10 mm
=25 mm, tighten nut firmly)
- rotate turret H so that depth stop Y clicks into place
right under depth gauge G
- adjust depth stop Y (loosen nut, turn screw so that
depth gauge G reaches value noted minus 4 mm =31
mm, tighten nut firmly)
- rotate turret H so that depth stop X clicks into place
right under depth gauge G
STEP 3:
- raise depth gauge G to desired routing depth plus
value noted earlier (7 + 35 = 42 mm)
- tighten knob F
- lift lever E
When repeated successive cuts at different depths are
not required, skip step (figure 1)
! always check the adjusted routing depth on a
piece of scrap wood
• SPEED CONTROL (Figure 1)
For optimal routing results on different materials
- select routing speed with wheel J (also while tool is
running)
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed by testing
out on spare material
! after longer periods of working at low speed, allow
the tool to cool down by running it for
approximately 3 minutes at high speed with no
load
• MOUNTING ADAPTER PLATE (FOR COPYING WITH
A TEMPLATE) (Figure 4)
• MOUNTING/REMOVING OF VACUUM CLEANER
ADAPTER K (Figure 5)
• MOUNTING RIP FENCE (Figure 6)
- assemble rip fence as illustrated
- insert rip fence rods L through holes in base-plate M
- slide rip fence to desired width and fasten it with 2
knobs N
• USING THE RIP FENCE AS A CIRCULAR GUIDE
(Figure 7)
! reverse rip fence first
- fasten pin P with wing nut Q as illustrated
- insert rods L into base-plate M
- pierce pin P into marked centre of circular arc
- fasten rip fence with 2 knobs N
- guide the tool with consistent feed across the
workpiece
• USING THE RIP FENCE WITH CURVE BUFFER R
(Figure 8)
- mount curve buffer R (with guide roller mounted) as
illustrated
- insert rods L into base-plate M
- slide rip fence to desired width and fasten it with 2
knobs N
- guide the tool along the workpiece edge with light
sideward pressure
• OPERATING THE TOOL (Figure 9)
- adjust routing depth
! always hold the tool firmly with both hands
- place tool on workpiece
- switch on tool by first pressing knob U (= safety switch
which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger V
! before the router bit reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
- lift lever E and slowly push tool down until depth gauge
G reaches depth stop X/Y/Z
- push lever E back
- carry out the routing procedure with uniform feed rate
- use the tool with its base-plate flat on the workpiece
- as a general rule one should pull the tool, not push it
- after finishing the work, lift lever E and guide the tool
back into the upper starting position
