allow the tool to cool down by running it for

approximately 3 minutes at high speed with no

load

• Dust suction

- connect vacuum cleaner to extension K

! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with

the routing operation

• Protective cover

• Operating the tool

! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-

coloured grip area(s)

- place tool on workpiece

- switch on tool by rst pressing knob M (= safety switch

which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger L

! before the router bit reaches the workpiece, the

tool should run at full speed

- loosen locking lever H and slowly push tool down until

depth gauge D reaches depth stop turret F

- tighten locking lever H

- carry out the routing procedure with uniform feed rate

- use the tool with its base-plate at on the workpiece

- as a general rule one should pull the tool, not push it

- after nishing the work, loosen lever H and guide the

tool back into the upper starting position

- release the trigger L

• Proper guiding

- keep in mind that router bit turns clockwise

- guide tool so that bit turns into the workpiece, not away

from it

• Mounting adapter plate N (for copying with a template)

• Mounting parallel guide P

- insert parallel guide rods V through holes in base-plate

- slide parallel guide to desired width and fasten it with

2 knobs W

• Using the parallel guide as a circular guide

- fasten pin X with nut Y as illustrated

- insert rods V into base-plate Q

- pierce pin X into marked centre of circular arc

- fasten parallel guide with 2 knobs W

- guide the tool with consistent feed across the

workpiece

APPLICATION ADVICE

• For cuts parallel with the side of your workpiece use

parallel guide

• For making parallel cuts in a workpiece far from the edge

- fasten a straight piece of wood on the workpiece by

means of 2 clamps

- guide tool with base-plate along edge of wood which

now functions as a parallel guide

• When using bits with a pilot or ball bearing, the pilot or

ball bearing should slide along the edge of the workpiece

which should be perfectly smooth

• For larger routing depths, it is recommended to carry out

several repetitive cuts with lower removal rates

! ensure that router bit shaft is perfectly clean

! ensure that collet size (6 mm, 6.35 mm, 8 mm)

corresponds with shaft size of router bit

- turn tool upside down

- lock shaft by pushing shaft lock A (rotate collet nut B, if

necessary) and hold it while you

FOR MOUNTING:

- loosen collet nut B with wrench C

- insert bit with a little space x in collet

- tighten collet nut rmly with wrench C

FOR REMOVING:

- loosen collet nut B with wrench C

- remove bit

- release shaft lock A

! for loosening router bit it may be necessary to

tap at the top of the router bit, using hammer and

piece of wood to protect the bit

! never tighten collet nut, if there is no router bit in

collet; collet may be damaged

• Changing collet

! ensure that collet shaft is perfectly clean

- loosen collet nut B 2 or 3 turns

- tap collet nut B with wrench C

- remove collet nut B and collet (lock shaft)

- turn tool upside down

- insert new collet in collet shaft

- mount collet nut B (lock shaft)

! never tighten collet nut, if there is no router bit in

collet; collet may be damaged

• Adjusting routing depth

- ensure that the small rod within depth gauge D extends

approximately 2 mm (use ne-adjustment knob E)

- rotate turret F so that its lowest position clicks into

place right under depth gauge D (for zeroing)

- loosen knob G so that depth gauge D drops onto depth

stop turret F

- place tool on workpiece

- loosen locking lever H

- push tool down until router bit is in contact with

workpiece

- tighten locking lever H

- move depth visor Z to 0 mm

- raise depth gauge D as many mm as the desired

routing depth, and tighten knob G

- loosen locking lever H and guide the tool back up again

- use ne-adjustment knob E for setting the routing depth

more precisely (0..±10 mm)

- with depth stop turret F the routing depth can be

increased by steps respectively

! re-adjust the routing depth after having changed

router bits

• Speed control

For optimal routing results on dierent materials

- select routing speed with wheel J (also while tool is

running)

- use table

as reference for determining the right

routing speed

- before starting a job, nd the optimal speed by testing

out on spare material

! after longer periods of working at low speed,
