To increase the speed:
Move the speed control switch (7) in the plus direction.
To reduce the speed:
Move the speed control switch (7) in the minus direc-
tion.
Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 9 / 10 / 11)
Place the machine on the workpiece.
•
Undo the wing screw (12), lock nut (11) and locking
•
grip (8).
Slowly move the machine downwards until the cut-
•
ter touches the workpiece.
Tighten the locking grip (8).
•
Turn the fine adjuster (14) until the scale of the
•
depth stop (13) is set to 0.
Adjust the end stop revolver (10) so that the depth
•
stop (13) is above the end stop (F) set to the lowest
height.
•
Lower the depth stop (13) until it touches the end
stop (F).
Use the fine adjuster (14) to determine the best
•
possible reading on the pointer (G).
Push the depth stop (13) upwards until the pointer
•
reaches the required cutting depth.
•
Tighten the wing screw (12) again.
Test the setting by completing a test cut on a waste
•
piece.
It is now possible to proceed with the final adjust-
•
ment of the cutting depth. To do this, turn the fine
adjuster (14) to the required dimension.
Turn the fine adjuster (14) counter-clockwise: greater
cutting depth
Turn the fine adjuster (14) clockwise: lower cutting
depth
Routing (Fig. 9 / 10 / 11)
•
To avoid damage to the router, make sure there are
no foreign objects attached to the workpiece.
Connect the mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Hold the tool using both of its handles (6).
•
Place the router on the workpiece.
•
Set the cutting depth accordingly.
•
Select the corresponding speed and switch on the
•
machine.
Test the machine settings using a piece of waste.
•
Operate the tool at full speed. Only then should you
•
lower the router to its working height and lock the
machine with the locking grip (8).
Cutting direction (Fig. 12)
The cutting tool turns clockwise. To avoid accidents,
you must always cut against the direction in which the
tool turns.
Feed speed: It is very important to machine the work-
piece at the correct feed speed. We recommend that
before you machine the actual workpiece, you carry
out several trial cuts on a waste piece of the same
type. This will enable you to find the best working
speed for the workpiece very easily.

Feed speed too low: The cutter could heat up exces-
sively. If you are cutting inflammable material such as
wood, the workpiece could ignite.
Feed speed too high: The cutter could be damaged.
Cutting quality: Rough and uneven.
Allow the cutter to come to a complete standstill before
removing the workpiece or putting down the router.
Routing in stages (Fig. 10 / 11)
Depending on the hardness of the material you wish
to cut and the cutting depth, it may be a good idea to
proceed in stages.
If you wish to route in several stages, turn the end
•
stop revolver (10) after adjusting the cutting depth
so that the depth stop (13) is above the highest end
stop (F).
Now route in this setting. After completing the first
•
routing operation, adjust the end stop revolver (10)
so that the depth stop (13) is above the middle end
stop (F). Now complete a routing operation in this
setting as well.
Now set the lowest end stop (a) and finish the rout-
•
ing.
Routing with the parallel stop (Fig. 3)
Proceed as follows to route along a straight outer
edge of a workpiece:
Assemble the parallel stop (16).
•
Guide the parallel stop (16) along the outer edge of
•
the workpiece.
Free-hand routing
The router can also be operated without any guide
rods. You can use it for freehand routing for creative
work such as the production of logos.
Use a very flat cutter setting for this purpose.
•
Check the direction in which the cutter is turning as
•
you machine the workpiece.
Shape and edge cutting (Fig. 13)
Special cutters with a guide ring may be used for
•
cutting shapes (a) and edges (b).
Fit the cutter.
•
Carefully guide the machine on to the workpiece.
•
•
Guide the guide journal or ball bearing (c) along the
workpiece with gentle pressure.
Warning! For deep cuts, carry out the work in
several steps according to the material in ques-
tion. Hold the router in two hands when carrying
out all cutting work.
Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as
the extension cable used must also comply with
these regulations.
