Stopper block
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which
raise or lower 0.8 mm (approx. 1/32″) per turn. You can
easily obtain three different depths of cut using these
adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.

4. Adjusting hex bolt 5. Stopper block
1. Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest
depth of cut, following the method of "Adjusting the
depth of cut".
2. Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shal-
lower depths of cut. The differences in height of these
hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
3. Turn the hex bolts to adjust the depth. The stopper
block is also convenient for making three passes with
progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep
grooves.
NOTE: When using a bit having total length of 60 mm
(2-3/8″) or more, or edge length of 35 mm (1-3/8″) or
more, the depth of cut cannot be adjusted as previ-
ously mentioned. To adjust, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock lever and carefully adjust bit
protrusion below the tool base to the desired
depth of cut by moving the tool body up or
down.
2. Retighten the lock lever to lock the tool body at
that depth of cut. Keep the tool body locked at
this position during use.
Since the bit always protrudes from the tool base, be
careful when handling the tool.
Adjusting the lock lever
The locked position of the lock lever is adjustable. To
adjust it, remove the screw securing the lock lever. The
lock lever will come off. Set the lock lever at the desired
angle. After adjustment, tighten the lock lever clockwise.

Switch action
CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the router bit
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten
the collet nut securely with the two wrenches. An 8 mm
collet cone may be also provided as a standard equip-
ment (depending on the country) besides the 6 mm or
1/4″ collet cone that is factory installed on the tool. Use
the correct size collet cone for the bit which you intend
to use.
► Fig.7
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
CAUTION: Install the router bit securely.
Always use only the wrench provided with the
tool. A loose or overtightened router bit can be
dangerous.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the collet nut with-
out inserting a bit. It can lead to breakage of the
collet cone.
OPERATION
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without
the router bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on
and wait until the router bit attains full speed. Lower the
tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping the tool base ush and advancing
smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.

direction
NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the router bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn
and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on
the router bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth
of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it
is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions.
NOTE: When using the straight guide or the trimmer
guide, be sure to install it on the right side in the feed
direction. This will help to keep it ush with the side of
the workpiece.
