GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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

1. Work area safety

   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

   • 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 power tools may result in serious personal injury.

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

   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
     Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

   • 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.

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

   • 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.

   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

   • 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.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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.

5. Service

   • 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.

PRECAUTION Keep children and infirm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING ROUTER

1. Single-hand operation is unstable and dangerous.
   Ensure that both handles are gripped firmly during operation.

2. The bit is very hot immediately after operation.
   Avoid bare hand contact with the bit for any reason.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS

WARNING Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.

1. Installing bits

2. Clean and insert shank of bit into the collet chuck
   until shank bottoms, then back it out approximately 2 mm.

3. With the bit inserted and pressing the lock pin holding the armature shaft, use the 23 mm wrench to firmly tighten the collet chunk in a clockwise direction (viewed from under the router). (Fig. 1)
   CAUTION Ensure that the collet chuck is firmly tightened after inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage to the collet chuck. Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the armature shaft after tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so will result in damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and armature shaft.

4. When using the 8 mm diameter shank bit, replace the equipped collet chuck with the one for 8mm diameter shank bit which is provided as the standard accessory.

5. Removing Bits When removing the bits, do so by following the steps for installing bits in reverse order.
   CAUTION Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the armature shaft after tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so will result in damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and armature shaft.

HOW TO USE THE ROUTER

1. Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 2)

2. Place the tool on a flat wood surface.

3. Turn the quick adjustment lever in a
   counterclockwise direction until the quick adjustment lever stops. (Fig. 3)

4. Turn the stopper block so that section to which the cutting depth setting screw on a stopper block is not attached comes to the bottom of the stopper pole. Loosen pole lock knob allowing the stopper pole to contact with stopper block.

5. Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever at this point. (Fig. 4)

6. Tighten pole lock knob. Align the depth indicator with the “0” graduation of scale.

7. Loosen pole lock knob, and raise until indicator aligns with the graduation representing the desired cutting depth. Tighten pole lock knob.

8. Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body down until the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting depth.
   Your router allows you to finely adjust depth of cut.

9. Attach knob to fine adjustment knob.

10. Turn the quick adjustment lever in a clockwise
    direction until the quick adjustment lever stops with the stopper screw. (Fig.

5. If the quick adjustment lever does not stop with the stopper screw, the bolt screw is not properly fitted. If this occurs, slightly loosen the lock lever and press down on the unit (router) hard from the top and turn the quick adjustment lever again after properly fitting the bolt screw.

   3. The depth of cut can be adjusted when the lock lever is loosened, by turning the fine adjustment knob. Turning the fine adjustment knob counterclockwise results in shallower cut, whereas turning it clockwise results in a deeper cut.
      CAUTION Ensure that the lock lever is tightened after finely adjusting depth of cut. Failure to do so will result in damage to the quick adjustment lever.

2. Stopper block (Fig. 6)
   The 2 cut-depth setting screws attached to the stopper block can be adjusted to simultaneously set 3 different cutting depth. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts so that the cut-depth setting screws do not come loose at this time.
   

3. Guiding the router
   WARNING Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.

4. Template guide adapter

5. Loosen the 2 template guide adapter screws, so that the template guide adapter can be moved. (Fig. 8)

6. Insert the centering gauge through the hole in the template guide adapter and into the collet chuck. (Fig. 9)

7. Tighten the collet chuck by hand.

8. Tighten the template guide adapter screws, and pull out the centering gauge.

9. Template guide
   Use the template guide when employing a template for producing a large quantity of identically shaped products. (Fig. 10) As shown in Fig. 11, to install insert template guide in center hole in template guide adapter with 2 accessory screws. A template is a profiling mold made of plywood or thin lumber. When making a template, pay particular attention to the matters described below and illustrated in Fig. 12. When using the router along the interior plane of the template, the dimensions of the finished product will be less than the dimensions of the template by an amount equal to dimension “A”, the difference between the radius of the template guide and the radius of the bit. The reverse is true when using the router along the exterior of the template.

10. Straight guide
    Use straight guide for chamfering and groove cutting along the materials side.

11. Insert the guide bar into the hole in the bar holder, then lightly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of the bar holder.

12. Insert the guide bar into the hole in the base, then firmly tighten the wing bolts (A).

13. Make minute adjustments of the dimensions between the bit and the guide surface with the feed screw, then firmly tighten the 2 wing bolt (A) on top of the bar holder and the wing bolt (B) that secures the straight guide. 4 As shown in Fig. 14, securely attach the bottom of the base to processed surface of the materials. Feed the router while keeping the guide plane on the surface of the materials.

14. Dust guide and Dust guide adapter (Fig. 15) Your router is equipped with dust guide and a dust guide adapter.

15. Match the 2 grooves on the base and insert the 2 dust guide tabs in holes located in the base side from the top. Tighten the dust guide with a screw. The dust guide diverts cutting debris away from the operator and directs the discharge in a consistent direction.

16. By fitting the dust guide adapter into the dust guide cutting debris discharge vent, the dust extractor can be attached.

17. Adjusting the rotation speed (Model M12V2 only) The M12V2 has an electronic control system that allows stepless rpm changes. As shown in Fig. 16, dial position “1” is for minimum speed, and position “6” for maximum speed.

18. Removing the spring The springs within the column of the router can be removed. Doing so will eliminate spring resistance and allows easy adjustment of cutting depth when attaching the router stand.

19. Loosen the 4 sub base screws, and remove the sub base.

20. Loosen the stopper bolt and remove it, so the spring can be removed. (Fig. 17)
    CAUTION Remove the stopper bolt with the main unit (router) fixed at its maximum height. Removing the stopper bolt with the unit in a shortened condition may cause the stopper bolt and spring to be discharged and cause injury.

21. Cutting
    CAUTION Wear eye protection when operating this tool. Keep your hands, face and other body parts away from the bits and any other rotating parts, while operating the tool.

22. As shown in Fig. 18, remove the bit from the work pieces and press the switch lever up to the ON position. Do not start cutting operation until the bit has reached full rotating speed.

23. The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated on the base). To obtain maximum cutting effectiveness, feed the router in conformance with the feed directions shown in Fig. 19.
    

NOTE If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves, a high pitched cutting noise may be produced. Replacing the worn bit with a new one will eliminate the high pitched noise.
