GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
   Electrical Safety

4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Personal Safety

9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating wer tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging it in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
    Power tool use and care

16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
    SERVICE

23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.

25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

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

1. Adjusting knob
2. Lock lever
3. Stopper pole
4. Fast-feed button
5. Stopper block

Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body. Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise. Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting bolt. Align the depth pointer with the “0” graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by the depth pointer. 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 (3/64″) per turn). By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you can fasten the stopper pole firmly. 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.

Stopper block

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

The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts that raise or lower 0.8 mm (1/32″) per turn. You can easily obtain three different depths of cut using these adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole. Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of cut, following the method of “Adjusting depth of cut”. Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut. To adjust the hex bolts, turn the 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.

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 (19/32″) at a pass when cutting grooves with an 8 mm (5/16″) diameter bit.
• When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16″) diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm (3/16″) at a pass.
• For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings

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

• 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.
• To start the tool, depress the lock button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
• For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then depress the lock button further. To stop the tool, pull the switch trigger so that the lock button returns automatically. Then release the switch trigger.
• After releasing the switch trigger, the lock-off function works to prevent the switch trigger from being pulled.

CAUTION:

• Hold the tool firmly when turning off the tool, to overcome the reaction.

Electronic function

Constant speed control

• Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.
• Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect the motor from overheating.

When the load returns to admissible levels, the tool will operate as normal

Soft start feature

• Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
• Speed adjusting dial

Speed adjusting dial

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released
• The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6
• Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1.

CAUTION:

If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction. The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work

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 bit

1. Shaft lock
2. Wrench

CAUTION :

• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit can be dangerous.
• Use always a collet that is suitable for the shank diameter of the bit.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit or install small shank bits without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
• Use only router bits of which the maximum speed, as indicated on the bit, does exceed the maximum speed of the router.

Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When using router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then install the bit as described above. To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Before operation, always make sure that the tool body automatically rises to the upper limit and the bit does not protrude from the tool base when the lock lever is loosened.
• Before operation, always make sure that the chip deflector is installed properly.

Always use both grips and firmly hold the tool by both grips during operations. Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete. When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

3. View from the top of the tool
4. Feed direction

NOTE:

• 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 and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the 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.
• 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 flush with the side of the workpiece.
