When edge cutting, the workpiece surface
should be on the left side of the bit in the feed
direction.
Keep the cutting pressure constant, taking care
not to crowd the router so that the motor speed
slows excessively.
On exceptionally hard woods or problem
materials it may be necessary to make more
than one pass at various settings to achieve the
desired depth of cut.
To avoid “bit chatter” cuts need to be made in
an anti-clockwise direction for external cuts and
in a clockwise direction for internal cuts.
CAUTION. Moving the machine too fast may
cause a poor quality of cut and can damage the
bit or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly
may burn or mar the cut. The proper feed rate
will depend on the bit size, the type of material
being cut and the depth of the cut. Practice
first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the
correct feed rate and the cut dimensions.
CAUTION. Always use two hands to hold
the router.
CAUTION. Where possible, clamp the
workpiece to the bench.

USING THE PARALLEL FENCE
The parallel fence (15) is an effective aid to
cutting in a straight line when chamfering
or grooving.
Install the fence in the right side of the tool in the
feed direction.
This will help you keep the fence flush with the
side of the workpiece.
29
Loosen knobs (14), hold the fence against the
workpiece edge and slide the router to the
desired position. Re-tighten knobs (14).
If the distance between the side of the
workpiece and the cutting position is too wide,
or the side of the workpiece is not straight,
firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece
and use this as a guide against the router base.

USING THE DUST EXTRACTION
ADAPTOR
Hold adaptor (13) in place over the base of
the router.
Secure the adaptor (13) with the two
screws provided.
Attach a suitable workshop vacuum or dust
collector to the outlet of the adaptor.
CAUTION. Some larger router bits may not be
able to be used in conjunction with the dust
extraction adaptor.
CAUTION. When working on metal surfaces,
do not use any dust extraction system such as a
vacuum cleaner. Sparks can ignite the dust.

TEMPLATE GUIDE
The template guide (17) can be used in
various ways:
• Producing duplicates of a particular design of
an original shape
• In conjunction with a template, producing
decorative features
• Repetitive cutting shapes
If you wish to make your own templates it is
best to use a hardwood such as plywood. Use
a piece that is just thicker than the depth of
the template guide. Allow for the thickness of
the guide in your template to ensure that the
workpiece is cut to the correct size.
Note. The template guide must be used with
the dust extraction adaptor, using the same two
mounting screws.
VI - Maintenance
and repair
CLEANING
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean
at all times.
Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best
done with a rag.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Always wear sturdy gloves when handling or
changing bits as they can be very sharp.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular
intervals.
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures. Always wear sturdy
gloves when handling or changing bits as they
can be very sharp.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean
the plastic parts of the sander. A mild detergent
on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must
never come into contact with the tool.
GENERAL INSPECTION
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
REPAIRS
Only a power tool repair centre should replace
the cordset or carry out other repairs. If the
cordset is damaged or worn, have it repaired or
replaced by a power tool repair centre.
