OPERATION

‰ WARNING! Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
5.1. INSTALLING OR REMOVING ROUTER BIT. (fig3)
NOTE: DO NOT tighten the collet nut without inserting the bit. The collet cone may break.
5.1.1. Insert the router bit all the way into the collet cone. Depress the shaft lock to engage spindle. Tighten the collet nut with the wrench or tighten the collet nut securely with the two wrenches. To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.

5.2. To turn on the tool, press the stop / start button (fig.1) To stop, push a second time.
5.3. To adjust cutting depth, open the lock lever, then move the tool base up or down by turning the adjusting screw and referring to the scale marking on the body. After adjustment, close the lock firmly. When loosening the lock lever you can also remove the base. (fig.1)
5.3.1. Set the tool base on the work piece without the router bit making any contact. Turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed.Move the tool forward over the work piece surface. Keep the tool base flush while moving the tool. When cutting the edge, be sure to  keep the work piece surface on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.
NOTE: Before cutting the actual work piece, it is recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed speed depends on the bit size, the kind of work piece,and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn the cut.
NOTE: Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm (1/8”) at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm (1/8”) deep, make several passes with  progressively deeper bit settings.
5.4. ATTACHING THE STRAIGHT GUIDE. (fig.4)

5.4.1. Assemble the straight guide with the bolt and the wing nut.
5.4.2. Attach the straight guide to the router base with the clamp screw.
5.4.3. Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the distance between the bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten the wing nut.
5.5. ATTACHING THE TEMPLATE GUIDE (fig.5)
5.5.1. The template guide allows for repetitive cut with template patterns by using a template. Loosen the screws on the base plate, and then remove the base plate from the router base. Place the template guide on the base, and then reattach the base plate by tightening  the screws.
5.5.2. Place the tool on the template and move the tool with the template guide sliding along the side of the template.
NOTE: The actual cut size on the workpiece is slightly different from the template. The difference is the distance (X) between the  router bit and the outside of the template guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the following equation: Distance (X) =  (outside diameter of template guide – router bit diameter) / 2 (fig.6)
5.6. ATTACHING THE ROUTER GUIDE (fig.6)
NOTE: The router guide allows for trimming curved side like veneers for furniture by moving the guide roller along the side of the  work piece.
5.6.1. Loosen the clamp screw, then install the router guide on the router base, and then tighten the clamp screw.
5.6.2. Loosen the clamp screw and adjust the distance between the router bit and the router guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm (3/64”) per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamp screw to secure the router guide.
5.6.3. Move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the work piece (fig.6, fig.7).

5.7.  INSTALLING THE PLUNGE BASE
5.7.1. In order to fit the plunge base you will have to remove the Tool base first see (fig.1)
5.7.2. Open the lock lever of the router base, then insert the tool into the router base aligning the groove on the tool with the protrusion on the router base.
