the factory so the lever does not touch the motor body,
if the plunge lock lever begins to hit the body when the
quick release lever is pushed, readjust the locking lever
position as follows:
1. Push in quick release button (7). The plunge lever lock
will unlock automatically.
2. Using a Torx 20 star bit (39), loosen the shoulder
screw (54) on the plunge lock lever (6) with six
counterclockwise turns. Do not fully remove.
3. Lift the plunge lock lever, rotate and reposition the
plunge lock lever at position 2 (at eleven o'clock).
4. Tighten the shoulder screw.
5. If after setting to position 2 sliding is not correct,
repeat steps 1 to 3 and reposition the lock lever at
position 1. Tighten the shoulder screw.
Moulding Natural Timbers
WARNING:
When routing always lock the
plunge locking lever.
When edge moulding natural timbers, always mould the
end grain first, followed by the long grain. This ensures
that if there is breakout, it will be removed when the long
grain is routed.
Setting the Routing Depth - (Fig. D, E)
1. Place the router with cutter fitted on to the workpiece.
2. Set the multiple position turret stop (11) as required.
3. Loosen the knob quick adjustment (15) securing the
depth stop (12).
4. Push down the plunging lock lever (6) to start
plunging.
5. Lower the router slowly until the cutter touches the
workpiece and secure it in place by pushing quick
release button (7).
6. Rotate the quick height adjuster (16) until the depth
stop bar (12) touches multiple turret stop (13) . Secure
in position by tightening the quick height adjuster lock
(15).
7. If the depth of cut needs re adjustment, it is
recommended to use quick depth adjuster (16) for gross
settings, or the fine height adjuster for accurate settings.
8. Adjust the depth of cut using the fine height adjuster
(18)
NOTE: : One turn of the fine height adjuster (18)
corresponds to 1 mm (3/64"), one turn of the quick
height adjuster (15) corresponds to 40 mm (1 1/2")
9. Read the depth of cut using the quick zero reset ring
(14) and fine zero reset ring (19).
10. The distance between the top of the revolving depth
stop and the bottom of the depth stop is the required
depth of cut.
EN - T12/T14
11. The rotating turret stop screws (11) can be used
for setting up to three depths of cut. The height can
be adjusted using a flat screwdriver and a 8mm (5/16")
wrench.
NOTE: By rotating the turret stop, three depth settings
can be quickly made.
Fine Height Adjuster - (Fig. D)
This router has a built in fine height adjuster. This should
be used when fine height adjustment of the cutter is
required. This is especially recommended when using
dovetail jigs or router tables.
Direction Of Feed - (Fig. L)
WARNING:
direction opposite than shown in Fig. L). Climb-cutting
increases the chance for loss of control resulting in
possible injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing
around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain
control of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal
material with each pass.
The direction of feed is very important when routing and
can make the difference between a successful job and
a ruined project. Fig. L show proper direction of feed for
most cuts.
1. When routing along an edge, the direction of the
router travel should be against that of the rotation of
the cutter. This will create the correct cutting action
and prevent the cutter from snatching. It will also pull
the router towards the workpiece and the side fence or
guide bearing will be less likely to wander from the edge
of the workpiece.
Feed Speed
The speed at which the cutter is fed into the wood must
not be too fast that the motor slows down, or too slow
that the cutter leaves burn marks on the face of the
wood.
NOTE: Practice judging the speed by listening to the
sound of the motor when routing.
Sequence of Plunging
WARNING:
plunge locking lever.
1. Plunge down and lock the motor carriage, by pushing
quick release button (7).
2. Perform the desired routing operation.
3. Push down the plunge lock lever (6) and the motor
carriage returns to the normal position.
