Turn the Router face down (ie with the switch facing your work
bench). Secure the extraction adapter with the two cross head
screws (Pic. 6).
PARALLEL FENCE (PICS.7&8)
Place the parallel fence on the work top. Notice that the two
long guide rods have a female thread at one end. Offer to the
parallel guide and secure with the supplied hexagonal keyed
bolts. Tighten with the supplied key (Pic. 7).
Slacken the three securing knobs that are located in the Router
base (Pic.8).
Offer the parallel guide into the base and re-secure (Pic.8.1) the
three knobs (see operating instructions).
CHANGING COLLET AND INSERTING ROUTER BITS
(PIC.9)
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE ROUTER IS ISOLATED FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY
Router bits are available to cut different profiles in wood. An
example would be the decorative edging on a dado rail.
The machine comes with two different sized collets in 8mm and
6mm (1/4"). This allows the Router to accept metric or imperial
Router bits.
There is a large variety of Router bits to achieve different finishes.
Certain Router bits are too large to enable the dust extraction to
be fitted. In these cases a dust mask must be worn.
Locate the spindle lock on the front of the Router, press and
hold in. With the supplied spanner slacken the collet nut (Pic. 9)
in an anti-clockwise direction.
Remove the collet nut along with the collet and clean any debris
away from the spindle and collet (refitting is a reverse of the
above procedure).
To insert a Router bit slacken the collet nut and insert the Router
bit shaft into the collet. Make sure at least 20mm or at least
half the shaft length of the Router bit inserts into the collet. Any
less and the Router bit would become unstable and could work
loose. Press and hold the spindle lock and tighten the collet nut.
Periodically check the tightness of this nut when working.
ROUTER GUIDE BUSH (PIC.10)
Note, fitting the guide bush will restrict the size of Router bit that
can be used.
The Router guide bush attaches to the Router base and
allows the machine to follow a particular cutting profile. The
dust extraction outlet will also have to be fitted as the securing
points for the guide bush are a part of the extraction housing.
Remove the two screws that secure the dust extraction outlet.
Place the guide bush onto the base and secure with the two
screws (Pic. 10).
Any Router bits will have to be inserted through the guide.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: This manual is a basic guide to routing. We
recommend you purchase a good quality routing book to be
able to use the Router to its full potential.
WARNING: OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING when using the
Router and parallel guides on highly decorative and finished
surfaces: COVER EITHER DECORATIVE SURFACES OR THE
ROUTER BASE AND PARALLEL GUIDES WITH MASKING
TAPE OR OTHER PROTECTION.
ADJUSTING THE PLUNGE DEPTH (PICS.3 & 11)
To adjust the plunge depth release the plunge locking lever and
apply pressure to the handles of the Router until the required
depth is achieved. Re-secure the locking lever (see Pic. 3).
To plunge to a predetermined depth adjust the depth stop (11.1)
and lock in position with the locking knob (Pic. 11).
It is possible to perform a micrometric adjustment by rotating the
top curve buffer at the depth stop (Pic. 11.2)
MAKING MULTIPLE PASS CUTS (PIC.12)
To cut in stages, when making deep cuts that require more than
one cut use the depth stop turret (12.1) to assist the procedure.
Set the desired depth with the depth stop gauge to the lowest
depth stop turret post.
Rotate the turret so the highest point is under the depth stop and
make the first cut/pass (Pic. 12).
Repeat the cut at the second height and finally at the desired
height.
Passes can also be made using two of the positions when the
cut can be made in only two passes.
STARTING AND STOPPING (PIC.13)
Hold the Router firmly with both hands on the grips. First press
with your thumb the side safety pushbutton (13.1) and then
press the On/Off switch (13.2) with your index finger and hold.
It is now possible to release the safety pushbutton. To stop the
machine simply release the On/Off switch (Pic. 13).
VARIABLE SPEED (PIC.14)
Located on the front of the machine is the variable speed dial
(Pic. 14). Simply rotate the dial to increase or decrease the
speed. The smaller the bit assembled on the Router the faster
the rotation speed must be. The larger the bit assembled on the
Router the slower the rotation speed must be.
A bit for Router that is rotating too fast will scorch the work piece
leaving a burn trace.
USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (PIC.15)
The parallel guide can be used to make a cut at a parallel
distance from the edge of the work piece.
Slide the parallel fence into the base of the Router and set the
desired distance from the cutter to the fence (Pic. 15).
Secure the fence in place with the two locking knobs.
Hold the fence securely against the edge of the work piece and
perform the operation.
To perform circular cuts: disassemble the parallel fence and
use the bit supplied (22, Pic. 1) on one of the two extension
bars.
To perform cuts on irregular profiles: the appropriate buffer
may be applied to the structure of the mitre fence as shown in
18
