Variable speed control
Note: Router speed settings are not critical. Generally, the
highest speed which does not result in burn marks on the
workpiece should be used. Where stated, always follow the cutter
manufacturers' maximum speed limitations.
• Operating at reduced speed increases the risk of damage to the
router as a result of overload. Use very slow feed rates and/or
multiple shallow cuts
• The Speed Controller (17) is marked 1 to 5, corresponding
approximately with the speeds and cutter diameters below. Turn
the dial to select the required speed (Image H)

Cutting depth adjustment
IMPORTANT:
YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR PLUNGE MECHANISM IF YOU DO NOT
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
ALWAYS ensure the Plunge Lock Lever (18) is unlocked by
setting it to its highest position before adjusting the cutting
depth using the 'Free plunge' or 'Winder handle adjustment'
methods below.
Note: To lock the router at a particular depth of cut, plunge the
router head down and rotate the Plunge Lock Lever (18) to its lower
position. This will hold the router head in this position.
• There are three methods of cut depth adjustment, depending
on the accuracy and control required:
Free plunge
1. Free plunge depth adjustments can be made with the Plunge
Selection Button (7) engaged. Press the Plunge Selection
Button deep inside the handle until it engages inward (Image I)
2. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (18) and push the body of the
router until the required depth is reached. Re-lock the Plunge
Lock Lever
Note: The position of the Plunge Lock Lever can be altered by
removing its retaining screw and repositioning the lever on the
bolt. Re-tighten firmly.
Winder handle adjustment
1. Plunge depth adjustments can be made by turning the Winder
Handle (8)
2. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (7) and ensure that the
button is flush with the Winder Handle (Image J)
3. To release the handle, pull the Winder Handle Clutch Ring (9)
inwards
4. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (18) and twist the Winder Handle
until the desired depth of cut is reached. Release the Winder
Handle Clutch Ring, and lock the Plunge Lock Lever
Micro Winder
Cutter Diameter
Note: For use in Winder Handle (8) plunge mode only.
1. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (7), and ensure that the
Plunge Lock Lever (18) is unlocked
Up to 1"
Note: If the Micro Winder (11) is turned with the Plunge Lock Lever
engaged, the Micro Winder will start clicking and the cut depth will

remain unchanged.
2. Turn the Micro Winder clockwise to increase cut depth and

Micro Winder will offer greater resistance and will begin to 'click' .
3. Engage the Plunge Lock Lever, particularly for heavy cuts
Depth stop & turret
1. The Depth Stop (4) and Turret Stops (1) are used to accurately
pre-set up to three different cut depths
2. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock Knob (6) and retract the Depth Stop
fully, then retighten (Image L)
3. Set the turret posts to the required plunge depths using the
scales on the stationary turret post (Image M)
Note: To change turret posts, rotate the entire turret assembly to
align with the Depth Stop (Image N).
4. With the desired cutter installed into the Collet (23), adjust the
plunge depth until the tip of the cutter touches the workpiece
5. Rotate the turret until the fixed turret post is in line with the
Depth Stop. Release the stop, allowing it to spring onto the post,
then retighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob. The plunge depth is
now set at zero (Image O)
6. Rotate the Turret Stops until the turret post with the desired
plunge depth is aligned with the Depth Stop
Making a cut
Note: NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of
guide. Guidance can be provided by a bearing guided router bit
cutter, the supplied guides, or a straight edge (Image P).
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles
provided. Ensure that the workpiece will not move. Use clamps
wherever possible
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving
the router slowly, keeping the base plate held flat against the
workpiece
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the
left side relative to the cutting direction (Image Q).
5. Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily
through the material. Be aware that knots and other variations
will slow the rate of progress
