Centring the Sub-Base of the Trim
Base (Fig. 7)
Ensuring that the router cutter is perfectly centred in the
hole of the sub-base is key to successful routing.
• Insert the centring pin into the collet and tighten the
collet nut
• Loosen but do not remove the 4 screws holding the
sub-base so that it moves freely from side-to-side
• Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on
the cone until it meets the sub-base. The cutter will
now be centred in the sub-base
• While holding down on the cone, tighten the sub-base
screws
Cutting with the Trim Base Fitted
(Fig. 8)
• Set the tool base on the workpiece without the trimmer
cutter making any contact
• Turn the tool on and wait until the cutter attains full
speed
• Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface
• Keep the tool base flush while moving the tool
• When cutting the edge, be sure to keep the workpiece
surface on the left side of the trimmer cutter in the feed
direction
NOTE: Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is
recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed
speed depends on the trimmer cutter size, the kind of
workpiece, and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too
fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the
cutter or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may
burn and mar the cutting surface.
NOTICE: 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 cutter depth settings.
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.
Attaching the Side Fence to the Trim
Base (Fig. 9)
• Assemble the straight guide with the bolt and the knob.
• Attach the straight guide as shown and tighten the
locking knob.
Using the Side Fence with the Trim
Base (Fig. 10)
• Loosen the knob on the side fence and adjust the
position of the router so that the cutter is in the desired
place
EN - T1
• Tighten the knob to lock the side fence in that position
• Move the tool with the parallel side fence flush with the
side of the workpiece
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.
Attaching a Guide Bush to the Trim
Base (Fig. 11)
A guide bush allows the router to be used with jigs and
accessories
• Place the guide bush into the recess on the underside
of the base, and secure the guide bush with the two
fixing screws
Using a Guide Bush with the Trim
Base
• Choose a cutter with a diameter which will pass
through the centre of the guide bush leaving enough
clearance
• Set cutter depth
• Locate guide bush against template, switch on
• Feed in the direction as shown
• At end of cut, switch off machine
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.

Attaching the Dust Extraction Spout
to the Plunge Base (Fig. 12)
• While holding the tool, attach dust extraction spout
into the plunge base
• Tighten the fixing knob
• Connect to a suitable dust extractor via the dust
extractor dust hose and a power tool adaptor
• To remove dust extraction spout from the plunge base,
unscrew fixing knob and remove dust extraction spout
Inserting the Motor Body into the
Plunge Base (Fig. 13)
• Open the lock lever of the plunge base, and while
making sure the spindle lock button is facing forward,
insert the motor body into the base
• Close the lock lever
• To adjust the locking clamp lever's clamping force,
open the body clamp and use a hex spanner to turn
the adjustment screw in small increments. Turning the
screw clockwise tightens the lever, while turning the
screw anticlockwise loosens the lever
• To remove the base, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
