FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Adjusting the depth of cut
Fig.1:

  • Lock lever
  • Adjusting hex bolt
  • Stopper  block
  • Adjusting knob
  • Depth pointer
  • Stopper pole
  • Stopper pole setting nut
  • Fast-feed button
  1. Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the router bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body.
  2. Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclock-wise. Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt. Align the depth pointer with the “0” graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by the depth pointer.
  3. While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the adjusting knob (1 mm per turn).
  4. Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by loosening the lock lever and then lowering the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.

Nylon nut
CAUTION: Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The router bit will protrude dangerously.
The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut.
Fig.2:

  • Nylon nut

Stopper block
CAUTION: Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm at a pass when cutting grooves with an 8 mm diameter bit.
CAUTION: When cutting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm at a pass.
CAUTION: For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.

As the stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn, you can easily obtain three different depths of cut without readjusting the stopper pole.
Fig.3:

  1. Stopper pole
  2. Adjusting hex bolt
  3. Stopper block

Adjust the lowest adjusting hex bolt to obtain the deep-est depth of cut, following the method of “Adjusting the depth of cut”.
Adjust the two remaining adjusting hex bolts to obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of these adjusting hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the adjusting hex bolts, turn the adjusting hex bolts with a screwdriver or wrench. The stopper block is also convenient for making three passes with progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.

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.
CAUTION: Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock button is provided.
