ENGLISH
Using the template guide (fig. D)
The template guide can be used to make a cutout shape from
a template, for instance a letter.
◆ Secure the template over the workpiece with double-
sided tape or ‘G’ clamps.
◆ The router bit must extend below the flange of the
template guide, to cut the workpiece in the shape of the
template.
Using the distance piece (fig. E)
The distance piece can be used for trimming wooden or
laminate vertical projections.
Using the centring pin (fig. F)
The centring pin can be used to cut out circular patterns.
◆ Drill a hole for the point of the centring pin in the centre
of the circle to be cut.
◆ Place the router on the workpiece with the point of the
centring pin in the drilled hole.
◆ Adjust the radius of the circle with the bars of the edge
guide.
◆ The router can now be moved over the workpiece to cut
out the circle.
Using the copy follower (fig. G)
The copy follower helps to maintain an equal cutting distance
along the edge of irregularly shaped workpieces.
◆ Place the router on the workpiece at the desired distance
from the edge to be copied.
◆ Adjust the bars of the edge guide until the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.
Switching on and off
Switching on
◆ Keep the lock-off button (2) depressed and press the
on/off switch (1).
◆ Release the lock-off button.
Switching off
◆ Release the on/off switch.
Warning! Always operate the tool with both hands.
Routing
◆ Fit the router bit and adjust to the required depth of cut as
described above.
◆ Holding the tool firmly with both hands by the handles (3),
place the tool on the workpiece and switch on.
◆ Allow the tool to build up speed before plunging down
into 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
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
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
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
tool from the workpiece, switch off and the tool 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
counterclockwise (fig. N). When working on inside edges,
move the tool clockwise.
◆ Use HSS router bits for softwood.
◆ Use TCT router bits for hardwood.
◆ You can use the tool without a guide (fig. O). This is
useful for signwriting and creative work. Only make
shallow cuts.
◆ Refer to the table below for common types of router bits.
