Warning:
Never tighten the collet nut without a bit
installed. Tightening an empty collet nut, even by hand,
can damage the collet.
Note: cutter bit insert and removal could be operated after
taking off the motor unit from the base.
Routing Depth Adjustment
1. Loose the knob (8) on the base (9)
2. Move the motor unit (3) to the proper position, using the
scale as a guide for routing depth setting. Tight the knob (8)
3. Check the routing depth by carrying out a practical test
and correct it if required.
Operation
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making
any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Warning: The voltage of the power source must match
the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power
tool.
Warning: Never attempt to work with the power tool
held upside down. This is dangerous and can lead to
serious accidents.
Switch on/off (Fig.C)
To switch on the power tool, set the on/off switch (1) to I.
To switch off the power tool, set the on/off switch (1) to 0.
Feed Direction (Fig. D)
Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting
is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be
on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.
NOTE:
• Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without
the bit making any contact. Then on and wait until the bit
attains full speed.
• Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor
quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving
the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of
workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the
actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample cut on a
piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will
look as well as enable you to check dimensions.
• When using the straight guide or the guide, be sure to
keep it on the right side in the feed direction. This will
help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
• Only use the power tool when the base (9) is fitted.
Losing control of the power tool can cause injuries.
(Original Instructions) ENGLISH
• Be aware that the router bit (7) always protrudes
slightly from the base(9). Do not damage the template or
the workpiece.
• Do not put the power tool down before the router bit
has come to a complete stop. Application tools that are
still running can cause injuries.
Warning:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth
of cut should not be more than 3 mm at a pass when
cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves
more than 3 mm deep, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. E)
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 motor base
with the other hand on the motor cap as shown.
Working with template guide (Fig. F1 – F3)
The template guide (18)provides a sleeve through which
the bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with template
patterns.
Loosen the screws and remove the base protector. Place
the template guide (18) on the base and replace the base
protector. Then secure the base protector by tightening the
screws.
Secure the template to the workpiece. Place the tool on the
template and move the tool with the template guide sliding
along the side of the template.
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the
template. Allow for the distance (X) between the router bit
and the outside of the template guide. The distance (X) can
be calculated by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the template guide -
router bit diameter) / 2
Working with a roller bearing guide (Fig. G)
The roller bearing guide (12) helps when routing edges with
router bits without a pilot pin or ball bearing.
Fit the pilot to the routing base (9) using the nut (19). Guide
the power tool along the workpiece edge with a uni-form
feed.
Lateral clearance:
To change the amount of material being removed, you can
adjust the lateral clearance between the workpiece and the
guide roller (20) on the roller bearing guide (12). Loosen the
screw (21), set the lateral clearance you want by turning the
screw (22), then retighten the screw (21).
