Intended Use
A mains-powered mini router intended for routing profiles, edges, grooves, holes and
for copy routing in plastic, light building materials, and wood. Predominantly for hand-
held use.
Note: Not intended for commercial use.
Unpacking Your Product
Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions
Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition
If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this product
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before
attaching/changing any accessories or making any adjustments.
Collet & router bit installation
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when inserting and removing router bits due
to the sharp edges of the cutters.
WARNING: Always use cutters and bits with the correct size shank for the
chosen collet size.
Note: It is easiest to install a cutter prior to fitting the router to a base; however, it is
possible to change the Router Bit (not supplied) (48) when attached to a base.
See Fig. I
1)
Press the Spindle Lock Button (16) then rotate the Collet Nut (17) until the spindle
lock engages
2)
Slacken the Collet Nut, using the supplied Spanner (2) if required, and remove the
Collet Nut
3)
Ensure the correct size Collet is chosen to match the required Router Bit (48) then
place the Collet into the spindle, then reapply the Collet Nut
4)
With the correct Collet in place and Collet Nut attached but slackened, insert the
Router Bit into the Collet, ensuring that at least half of the Router Bit's shaft is
inserted
5)
Tighten the Collet Nut with the Spanner, ensuring that the Router Bit cutter has 1-
2mm clearance from the Collet and is not butted tight against the Collet or the
Collet Nut; vibration from the cutter could vibrate the Collet Nut and cause it to
loosen during use
WARNING: DO NOT over-tighten the Collet Nut! This could cause damage to the
Collet, Collet Nut, external thread and Spindle Lock.
Note: Do not tighten the Collet Nut with no Router Bit fitted. This can bend and damage
the Collet. Keep the Collet Nut partially screwed in until a Router Bit is fitted. Be aware
of the spring in the spindle that keeps pressure on the Collet up against the Collet Nut.
When installing the Collet, a small amount of pressure is required when applying the
Collet Nut to the spindle drive thread.
6)
To remove a Router Bit, engage the Spindle Lock by pressing the Spindle Lock
Button then slacken the Collet Nut with the Spanner
7)
With the Collet Nut sufficiently slackened, the Router Bit can be removed
WARNING: ALWAYS keep the Collet, Collet Nut, spindle drive thread and Router
Bit shank clean and free of oil and grease to ensure a reliable and secure fitting.
Fitting to plunge base
Note: If the Router (1) is attached to the Trimmer Base (8), remove the Trimmer Base
before attempting to fit the router to the Plunge Base (9).
1)
Ensure the Plunge Base Locking Knob (28) is wound out so the screw is not
protruding into the base
2)
Align the Router (1) so the Securing Hole (18) is directly above the Plunge Base
Locking Knob (Fig. II)
3)
Place the Router into the cradle of the Plunge Base
4)
Tighten the Plunge Base Locking Knob (Fig. II) to secure the Router in the
Plunge Base

Dust extraction
IMPORTANT: Dust from certain materials can be toxic. Before using the Router (1),
attach a dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner to the Dust Extraction Spout (19)
(Fig. III), which is fitted to the Plunge Base (9), and ALWAYS wear respiratory
protection. If no workshop dust extraction system is available when using the Plunge
Base, clean and vacuum frequently to prevent the build-up of dust and chippings.
Note: The Dust Extraction Spout can be removed, if required, by unscrewing the two
Dust Extraction Spout Connection Screws (34). This will allow better access to cleaning
hard-to-get-at places on the Plunge Base when cleaning.
Adjusting the depth of cut
There are two ways to adjust the depth of cut:
•
Free Plunge, for conventional and fast depth adjustment
•
Micro Adjustor, for precise depth setting throughout the full plunge range
Free plunge
1)
With a chosen Router Bit (48) fitted and the Router (1) attached to the Plunge
Base (9), disengage the Plunge Lock Lever (24) (Fig. IV)
2)
Using the Handles (22), plunge the router down to the required plunge depth
3)
Engage the Plunge Lock Lever to lock the router at the required depth
Micro adjustor
1)
With a chosen Router Bit (48) fitted and the Router (1) attached to the Plunge
Base (9), disengage the Plunge Lock Lever (24) (Fig. IV)
2)
Turn the Micro Winder (20) until the router bit is at the depth required
Note: Turn clockwise to increase cut depth and anti-clockwise to reduce cut depth. A
full revolution of the Micro Winder is a depth adjustment of 1.5mm. The Micro
Adjustment Guide (21) can be used to set a point of reference when gauging a full
revolution.
3)
Engage the Plunge Lock Lever when the router is at the required depth,
particularly for heavy cuts
Depth stop & turret
•
The Depth Stop Lock (29) and Depth Turret (31) enable accurate pre-setting of
three different cut depths, each stepped at 5mm (Fig. IV)
Zeroing the router:
1)
With a chosen Router Bit (48) fitted and the Router (1) attached to the Plunge
Base (9), place the Router on a flat surface then disengage the Plunge Lock Lever
(24) (Fig. IV)
2)
Rotate the Depth Turret (31) until the 0 step is beneath the Depth Stop (30)
3)
Disengage the Depth Stop Lock (29) to release the Depth Stop
4)
Plunge the Router down until the tip of the Router Bit touches the flat surface
5)
Engage the Depth Stop Lock so the Depth Stop is locked in its current position
Adjusting the depth turret:
•
The Depth Turret (31) allows 3 different plunge depths to be configured for fast
switching during use: 5mm, 10mm and 15mm
•
This can speed up operations or allow a 3-cut approach to reaching the final
required depth of cut
•
Using the Depth Turret is particularly important when the workpiece is more
difficult to cut, i.e. harder wood or when a better finish is required
•
If the Depth Turret becomes loose, tighten the screw in the centre
1)
After zeroing the router (see "Zeroing the router"), the secured Depth Stop (30)
now provides an accurate datum and the depth of cut can be set by reference to
the graduations etched into the face of each depth on the Depth Turret (31)
(Fig. IV)
2)
Rotate the Depth Turret to the required depth
Custom depth using the depth stop
•
The scale on the face of the Depth Stop (30) can be used to make adjustments to
the Depth Stop after the router has been zeroed (see "Zeroing the router")
1)
After zeroing the router on one of the turret stops, plunge the router to the zero
depth and ensure the Plunge Lock Lever (24) is engaged
2)
Loosen the Depth Stop Lock and raise the Depth Stop to required depth then
retighten the Depth Stop Lock to set the new plunge depth
Notes:
•
The exact depth required for a particular task, such as a hinge leaf, can be
achieved by placing the object/material of required plunge depth between the
Depth Stop and the Depth Turret before locking the Depth Stop Lock. The plunge
will now be the precise depth required for the object/material
•
The gap between the end of the Depth Stop and the Turret Stop (31) will be the
plunge depth
