5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
Warning! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tools” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection use for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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 nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
– 6 –

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacements parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTER USE.
a) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
b) Always wear a dust mask and ear protection when using this power tool.
c) Use only bits, which are designed for this router.
d) Use only sharp bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt bits will cause stalling.
e) Secure small pieces of wood rmly before working. Never hold them in your hand.
f) Danger. Keep hands away from the cutting area.
– 7 –

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
g) Secure the workpiece by means of the clamping equipment.
h) Before staring up, check that the bit is rmly positioned and secured into the collets.
i) The maximum indicated limit rotation speed of the milling bit must not be exceeded.
j) Routing must always be carried out against the direction of rotation (bit-rotation) of the bit.
k) The bit must be running at full speed before lowering into the workpiece.
l) When operating the machine, take great care and always hold the router handles rmly
with both hands. Always provide for a secure footing when working.
m) Beware of the reaction torque of the machine, particularly if the bit becomes jammed in the
workpiece.
n) On completion of work, allow the machine to slide back to its initial position by releasing the
handle.
o) Make yourself familiar with your working area and be alert for possible hazards, which you
might not hear due to machine noise.
p) Caution: Allow for run down time of bit after turning router off. Wait for the machine to come
to a complete stop before removing from the workpiece.
q) Never slow the router down with your hands.
r) Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn
you.
s) Never stop the router by applying lateral pressure to the bit.
t) Do not force the router. Your router will do a better job if you take it slowly.
u) Avoid cutting nails and screws. Inspect timber and remove all nails and screws before
cutting.
v) In the event of an electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the router
and disconnect the power lead from the mains supply, and contact Draper for assistance.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk
which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!

3Medium speed
4
5
High speed6
MAX
Note: Cutting speed depends on material, cutter
size, cutting depth etc. Larger router bits will
require a slower speed. For more detailed
information refer to routing/woodworking reference
material.
9.3 SETTING THE CUTTING DEPTH –
FIGS. 7 – 8
− With a suitable router bit tted place the router
on to the workpiece. Rotate the turret (8) to the
lowest position. Slowly plunge the router until
the bit just touches the workpiece. Lock the
router in this position with the plunge lock lever
(3).
−Ensure the depth guide locking screw (6) is not
tight and lower the rod (6.1) until it touches the
turret. If necessary turn the ne height
adjustment control (5) to align the nearest digit
on the scale against the pointer (6.2).
−Take note of the setting before raising the rod
upward to set the plunge depth (the difference
between the two measurements) and securely
tighten the depth guide locking screw (6).
Example: The scale reads 23. After adjustment
reads 33 – the plunge depth will be 10mm.

9. BASIC ROUTER OPERATIONS
Release the plunge lock lever and raise the router
back to full height. Rotate the turret round several
positions and the router is set up ready to begin
work.
When beginning to cut, plunge the cutter slowly to
the rst depth and proceed with the cut. Take a
second pass at the next step down on the turret and
continue until the full depth is achieved.
Regulate the depth of the cut and speed of feed to
ensure no strain is put on to the cutter or motor,
however if the speed is too slow, burn marks may
appear on the workpiece.
Note: The direction of rotation is marked on the
machine housing above the spindle stop
mechanism. Travelling along a workpiece in the
wrong direction will cause the bit to pull and bounce,
leading to a poor nish and possible damage.
−If, after the full depth has been routed, further
material removal is necessary lock the router in
the plunged position.
− Rotate the ne height adjustment control (5).
− Turning the ne adjustment anti-clockwise will
increase the plunge depth. One complete turn is
equivalent to 1mm plunge depth. When set, take
another pass along the cut.
Note: Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
9.4 PARALLEL GUIDE ROUTING –
FIG. 9
Ensure the edge along which the guide is going to
travel is smooth and true as any inconsistencies will
translate into the cut.
• See section 8.1 PARALLEL GUIDE FENCE on
page 12 for assembly instructions.
When using the parallel guide an even pressure
should be applied to each face except on a leading/
trailing edge of a workpiece. When leading on to a
workpiece apply the pressure to the forward face
until both faces are on. When trailing off a workpiece apply the pressure to the rear face until the
cut is complete.
9.5 TEMPLATE FOLLOWER – FIG. 10
For detailed information on templates refer to a routing/woodworking book.
−Lay the template follower (16) into the recess. Ensure the template follower faces downward
and secure with the two countersunk screws (16.1).
Warning! Whilst this router is capable of cutting kitchen worktops, it should be noted that this is
not a professional machine and therefore its tolerances and performance are not as accurate as a
professional machine.
