Switching on and off
Switching on
Keep the lock-off button (2) depressed and press the
u
on/off switch (1).
Release the lock-off button.
u
Switching off
Release the on/off switch.
u
Warning! Always operate the tool with both hands.
Routing
Fit the router bit and adjust to the required depth of cut as
u
described above.
Holding the tool firmly with both hands by the handles (3),
u
place the tool on the workpiece and switch on.
Allow the tool to build up speed before plunging down into
u
the workpiece. When the depth stop bar has been
contacted, operate the plunge lock lever (5).
Carry out the operation by applying a constant force both
u
downwards and in the direction of cut. Retain a firm grip
on the handles and be prepared for a possible reaction
force if the router bit suddenly stalls e.g. following contact
with a knot.
On completion of the operation, release the plunge lock
u
lever and control the upwards movement of the tool back
to its original position. When the tool has returned to its
original position, it can be switched off. Be aware that the
base is springloaded and that the tool will jump upwards if
not controlled.
Routing speed
The operating speed of the tool can be varied to affect the
level of finish. The correct speed selection will depend upon
the level of finish required, the type of material being
machined, the diameter and shape of the router bit.
Prepare the tool to make a practice cut on a piece of scrap
u
material. Make a preliminary adjustment of the speed
control selecting a high speed for small diameter router
bits and a low speed for large diameter router bits.
When the routing operation is completed, withdraw the
u
tool from the workpiece, switch off the tool and inspect the
level of finish. Adjust the speed control knob (4) and
repeat until an optimum level of finish is obtained.
Warning! Do not release the handles to adjust the speed
when the tool is locked down and operating in the workpiece.
Hints for optimum use
When working on outside edges, move the tool
u
counterclockwise (fig. N). When working on inside edges,
move the tool clockwise.
Use HSS router bits for softwood.
u
Use TCT router bits for hardwood.
u
You can use the tool without a guide (fig. O). This is useful
u
for signwriting and creative work. Only make shallow cuts.
Refer to the table below for common types of router bits.
