NOTE: For better plunge sliding movement, frequently
clean the columns of dust or debris. If the plunging
movement is not moving as smooth as desired, lubricate
the columns with a dry Teflon lubricant.
1. After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the
router such that the bit is directly over the place you will
be cutting.
2. With the router running, lower the unit smoothly down
into the workpiece. DO NOT JAM THE ROUTER
DOWN.
3. When the tool reaches the pre set depth, push the
quick release button (7) to lock.
4. When you have finished routing, push the plunge
lock lever (6) to unlock and let the spring lift the router
directly out of the workpiece.
5. Always feed the router opposite to the direction in
which the cutter is rotating. Refer to Fig. L.
On/Off Trigger Switch - (Fig. A)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
1. To turn the unit on, squeeze the on/off trigger switch
(3). Continue to squeeze the trigger switch or press the
lock on button switch (20) for continuous running.
2. To turn the unit off:
a. If lock on trigger is engage, release the lock on button
by squeezing and releasing trigger.
b. If the lock on switch is not engaged, fully release the
trigger.
Variable Speed Dial - (Fig. A)
WARNING:
If the speed control ceases
to operate, or is intermittent, stop using the tool
immediately. Please contact Trend Tool Technology Ltd
or authorized service facility for repair.
NOTICE: The router is equipped with electronics to
monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting.
In low and medium speed operation, the speed control
prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect
to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor,
you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce
the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool
damage.
Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router
speed. Turn the speed dial (1) to control router speed.
The speed is variable from 9000 to 22000 rpm using the
speed dial (1).
EN - T12/T14
1. Turn the speed dial to the required position. The dial is
numbered from 1 –7 and corresponds to router speeds
of 9000 rpm to 22000 rpm.
2. Use the slower settings for large diameter cutters and
the faster settings for small diameter cutters.
3. The correct setting will also depend on the density of
the material, depth of cut and feed speed of the router.
NOTE: A noticeable loss of motor rpm means motor
overload

The speeds in this chart are approximate and are for
reference only. Your router may not produce the exact
speed listed for the dial setting.
WARNING:
manufacturer's speed recommendations as some
bit designs require specific speeds for safety or
performance.
If you are unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing
any type of problem, contact the bit manufacturer.
LED Worklight - (Fig. F)
CAUTION:
Do not stare into worklight.
Serious eye injury could result.
Two LED worklights (57) are located next to the collet
assembly (9).
1. The worklights (57) will constantly illuminate when the
router is connected to the mains power supply.
2. To switch off the worklights the router must be
disconnected from mains power supply.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Setting Plunge Lock System - (Fig. B)
The plunge is fully automatically locking for all cuts. For
heavy cut operations, ensure to push the lever towards
the tool body. The plunge lock lever (6) position is set at
