ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the bit

CAUTION:

• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench

provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit

can be dangerous.

• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit or

install small shank bits without using a collet sleeve.

Either can lead to breakage of the collet cone.

003670

Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the

shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the wrench

to tighten the collet nut securely. When using router bits

with smaller shank diameter, first insert the appropriate

collet sleeve into the collet cone, then install the bit as

described above.

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in

reverse.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Before operation, always make sure that the tool

body automatically rises to the upper limit and the

bit does not protrude from the tool base when the

lock lever is loosened.

• Before operation, always make sure that the chip

deflector is installed properly.

003803

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the

bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait

until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body and

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.

001984

NOTE:

• 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 trimmer guide,

be sure to install it on the right side in the feed

direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side

of the workpiece.
