English

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30mA or less at all times is
recommended.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS

WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the
plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.
1. Installing bits
(1) Clean and insert shank of bit into the collet chuck
until shank bottoms, then back it out approximately
2 mm.
(2) With the bit inserted and pressing the lock pin
holding the armature shaft, use the 23 mm wrench
to firmly tighten the collet chunk in a clockwise
direction (viewed from under the router). (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
Ensure that the collet chuck is firmly tightened after
inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage
to the collet chuck.
Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the
armature shaft after tightening the collet chuck.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the collet
chuck, lock pin and armature shaft.
(3) When using the 8 mm diameter shank bit, replace
the equipped collet chuck with the one for 8mm
diameter shank bit which is provided as the standard
accessory.
2. Removing Bits
When removing the bits, do so by following the
steps for installing bits in reverse order.
CAUTION
Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the
armature shaft after tightening the collet chuck.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the collet
chuck, lock pin and armature shaft.

HOW TO USE THE ROUTER

1. Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 2)
(1) Place the tool on a flat wood surface.
(2) Turn the quick
counterclockwise direction until the quick adjustment
lever stops. (Fig. 3)
(3) Turn the stopper block so that section to which the
cutting depth setting screw on a stopper block is
not attached comes to the bottom of the stopper

adjustment lever in
pole. Loosen pole lock knob allowing the stopper
pole to contact with stopper block.
(4) Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body until
the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock
lever at this point. (Fig. 4)
(5) Tighten pole lock knob. Align the depth indicator
with the "0" graduation of scale.
(6) Loosen pole lock knob, and raise until indicator
aligns with the graduation representing the desired
cutting depth. Tighten pole lock knob.
(7) Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body down
until the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting
depth.
Your router allows you to finely adjust depth of cut.
(1) Attach knob to fine adjustment knob.
(2) Turn the quick adjustment lever in a clockwise
direction until the quick adjustment lever stops with
the stopper screw. (Fig. 5)
If the quick adjustment lever does not stop with the
stopper screw, the bolt screw is not properly fitted.
If this occurs, slightly loosen the lock lever and
press down on the unit (router) hard from the top
and turn the quick adjustment lever again after
properly fitting the bolt screw.
(3) The depth of cut can be adjusted when the lock
lever is loosened, by turning the fine adjustment
knob. Turning
counterclockwise results in shallower cut, whereas
turning it clockwise results in a deeper cut.
CAUTION
Ensure that the lock lever is tightened after finely
adjusting depth of cut. Failure to do so will result
in damage to the quick adjustment lever.
2. Stopper block (Fig. 6)
The 2 cut-depth setting screws attached to the
stopper block can be adjusted to simultaneously set
3 different cutting depth. Use a wrench to tighten
the nuts so that the cut-depth setting screws do not
come loose at this time.
3. Guiding the router
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the
plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.
(1) Template guide adapter
1 Loosen the 2 template guide adapter screws, so that
the template guide adapter can be moved. (Fig. 8)
2 Insert the centering gauge through the hole in the
template guide adapter and into the collet chuck.
(Fig. 9)
3 Tighten the collet chuck by hand.
4 Tighten the template guide adapter screws, and pull
out the centering gauge.
(2) Template guide
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identically shaped
products. (Fig. 10)
As shown in Fig. 11, to install insert template guide
in center hole in template guide adapter with 2
accessory screws.
A template is a profiling mold made of plywood
or thin lumber. When making a template, pay
a
particular attention to the matters described below
and illustrated in Fig. 12.
When using the router along the interior plane of
the template, the dimensions of the finished product
will be less than the dimensions of the template
by an amount equal to dimension "A", the difference
