Routing Safety
■Disconnect router power tool.
When not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories
such as cutters, disconnect router
and attachment from power supply.
■Ensure router cutter has stopped
rotating before changing it. Never
use the spindle lock as a brake.
■Remove adjusting keys and
spanners. Form the habit of
checking to see that keys and
adjusting spanners are removed
from the router tool, cutter and
attachment before turning router
on. Make sure cutter can rotate
freely.
■Check all ball bearing and blade
fixing screws before use to ensure
they are tight and secure.
Periodically check when machining
over long periods.
■When using a template guide bush
ensure it cannot come into contact
with collet and nut.
■Noise. Take appropriate measures
for the protection of hearing if the
sound pressure of 85dB(A) is
exceeded. Routing sound pressure
may exceed 85dB(A), so ear
protection must be worn.
MANU-TT-650 v2 17/7/06 4:14 pm Page 2

TT/KWJ650
■Eye protection. Wear safety
goggles, spectacles or visors to
protect the eyes from ejected waste
particles.
■Respiratory protection. Wear a face
or dust mask, or powered
respirator. Dust masks/filters should
be changed regularly.
■Do not switch router on with the
cutter touching the workpiece.
■The direction of routing must
always be opposite to the cutter's
direction of rotation.
■After work, release the router
plunge and allow spindle to stop
rotating before putting machine
down.
■Check before cutting that there are
no obstructions in the path of the
router. When cutting through the full
thickness of the workpiece, ensure
there are no obstacles beneath
workpiece, and that a sacrificial
work surface is used.
Additional Safety Rules For
Router Cutters
■Cutting tools are sharp. Care
should be taken when handling
them.
■Always use cutters with a shank
diameter corresponding to the size
of the collet installed in your tool.
■Always run router cutters at the
spindle speed recommended and
marked accordingly. Ensure cutter
has reached correct speed before
entering workpiece. Recommended
speeds can be found on the
packaging, in cutter instructions or
in the Trend Routing Catalogue.
■Always use router cutters in a
router. Router cutters must not be
used in a drill. Drill and boring bits
must not be used in a router.
Router cutters must only be used
for the material cutting application
for which they are designed. Do not
use on metal or masonry.
■Never use cutters with a diameter
exceeding the maximum diameter
indicated in the technical data of
the powertool or attachment used.
■Do not drop cutters or knock them
against hard objects. Do not use
cutters that are damaged.
■Cutters should be kept clean. Resin
build up should be removed at
regular intervals with Resin
Cleaner®. The use of a dry
lubricant (Trendicote®PTFE) will
act as a preventative. Do not use
PTFE spray on plastic parts.
■Cutter shanks should be inserted
into the collet to the mark line on
the shank. This ensures that at
least 3/4 of the shank length is held
in the collet. Do not over-tighten the
collet nut as this will score the
shank and create a weakness and
fracture point.
■Observe the correct assembly
instructions in the router instruction
manual for fitting the collet and nut.
Observe the router power tool
manual instructions on fitting
cutters correctly.
■It is advisable to periodically check
the collet and collet nut. A worn,
distorted or damaged collet can
cause vibration and damage the
shank, and should be replaced.
Worn collet nuts should be
replaced.
■Do not take deep cuts in one pass;
take several shallow or light passes
to reduce the side load applied to
the cutter. Too deep a cut in one
pass can stall the router.
■Very small diameter cutters must
be handled and used with care.
■Always return cutter to its
packaging after use.
■Should you experience excessive
vibration during use stop
immediately. Have the eccentricity
of the router, router cutter and
clamping system checked.
■All fastening screws and nuts
should be tightened using the
appropriate spanner or key in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
Using Routers In A Fixed
Position
■After work, release the router
plunge to protect the cutter.
■Always use a push-stick or push-
block for last 300mm of the cut.
■Whenever possible use a work
holding device or jig to secure
component being machined.
■Ensure attachment is securely fitted
to the workbench, with table
surface at approximately hip height.
■Ensure a No-Volt Release Switch is
fixed to or adjacent to the
attachment and that it is used
correctly.
■Check the direction of the
workpiece is always opposite to the
cutter's direction of rotation.
■Do not use awkward or
uncomfortable hand positions.
■Do not reach underneath table or
put your hands or fingers at any
time in the cutting path while tool is
connected to a power supply.
Useful Advice When Routing
■Judge your feed rate by the sound
of the motor. Feed the router at a
constant feed rate. Too slow a feed
rate will result in burning.
■Take many light passes rather than
one deep cut to reduce the side
load applied to both router and
router cutter.
■Trial cuts should be made on waste
material before starting any project.
■When using some attachments
including a router table or dovetail
jig, the use of a fine height adjuster
is highly recommended.
■When using a template guide bush,
ensure there is sufficient clearance
between cutter tip and inside edge
of bush. Ensure cutter and guide
bush are concentric.
Router Cutter Maintenance
■Composite cutting tools (brazed tip)
must be maintained by a competent
person i.e. a person of training and
experience, who has knowledge of
the design requirements and
understands the levels of safety to
be achieved.
■The design of composite tools must
not be changed in the process of
maintenance.
■Replacement parts must meet
Trend specification.
■Tolerances which ensure correct
clamping by the collet shall be
maintained.
■When re-grinding the tool, care
must be taken not to cause
weakening of the body or the
connection between the cutting
edge and the body.

Panel Butt Connector Bolts
Ref. TT/PC/10M (Pack of ten)
Panel butt connectors are essential for
connecting worktops. They fit into the recess on
the underside of the worktop and are tightened
with a 10mm spanner. The jig has integral bolt
recess slots to allow the bolt recess to be cut in
the underside of the worktop, using the standard
router cutter. The recess is elongated to allow
easy access for the spanner.
Biscuit Jointer for the Router
Ref. TT/48X1/2TC
Worktops with inadequate support below them
need additional stability by biscuit jointing the
edges. The T-TECH biscuit jointing set for the
router together with the No.20 biscuits will
ensure worktops do not sag or warp in time.
Whenever fast action clamps are used,
ensure they do not foul the router path
and that they are securely tightened.
Clamp
Two heavy duty quick action or gripper clamps
with throats of at least 100mm (4”) are required
to secure the jig to the worktop.
Flat Biscuit Dowels
Ref. TT/BSC/20 (Pack of 100 biscuits)
Biscuits are used to strengthen the joint. When
used with PVA glue they expand ensuring a tight
joint.

ASSEMBLY
Location Bush Identification
Three location bushes are used in different holes
in the jig to align the correct template aperture
for the application.
The holes are coded for easy identification as
follows:
F– Female Joint
M– Male Joint
B– Bolt Connector Recess
Setting out the Joints
When cutting a joint ensure location bushes
contact the postformed edge of the worktop. For
certain joints the worktop will need to be inverted
so that all cuts are made into the postformed
edge, never out through it. When routing worktop
the balancing paper on the underside may feather
edge – this feather edge should be removed with
abrasive paper.
Location bushes are held in position by ‘O’ rings.
Insert the smallest end of the bush into the hole
by lightly pushing and turning at the same time.
If the bushes are tight use a lubricant on the ‘O’
ring. Ensure bushes are fully home before use.
When using jig ensure location bushes do not
foul workbench.
Margin Distance
Allow 8.5mm when cutting joints. Measure or
use a batten of this
thickness to aid
setting out.

OPERATION
Setting the Length Stop for the
Female Cut
Carry out the setting operation first:
■With the label side uppermost fit the length
stop bush in one of the two holes
depending on the width of the worktop. If
worktop is not 400mm, 500mm, 600mm,
616mm or 650mm, a packing piece, or a
new hole to correct position will suffice.
Female Joint
■Fit two location bushes in female holes (F)
as shown. (The label must be uppermost.)
Leave the length stop bush in position.
■Place the template onto the worktop to be
cut, ensuring the location bushes are
touching the worktop. Now cramp securely
in position using two quick action clamps
(with minimum of 100mm throat) ensuring
they will not foul the router path.
■Set cutter depth.
■Plunge router and cut joint in a series of
passes, feeding left to right.
When cutting a joint, hold the router
guide bush hard against the template
and cut from left to right. It is
recommended that the depth stops of
the router are used to set the depths
of cut. Several shallow passes of the
router should be made and it is not
necessary to lean heavily on the
router or the jig. Allow the weight of
the router to rest on the part of the
template which is resting on the
worktop. Ensure router remains
parallel and upright at all times.

TT/KWJ650
Male Joint
Depending on accessibility lay female worktop
into position on units. Lay male worktop on top
and support other end. Using a pencil draw
round the female cut onto the male from
underside. If inaccessible lay female onto male.
Depending on a right or left hand joint, the pencil
line may need to be transferred on to the other
side. Due to the difference between the cutter
and the guide bush diameters, the cutter path
will be 8.5mm over from the edge of the
template, therefore either measure 8.5mm or
use a packing piece of this size to offset the
template by this amount to ensure the cutter cuts
along the pencil line.
The postformed edge of the worktop must
always be in contact with the location bushes,
this means that to cut a male right hand joint, the
worktop must be inverted. Remembering to cut
into the postformed edge.
■Insert two location bushes into male holes (M)
as shown, label facing down.
■Place template across the width of the
worktop and clamp securely to worktop.
■Set cutter depth. Plunge router and cut the
male joint before finally cutting the work-top to
length. A series of passes should be made
feeding from left to right.
Out-of-square Joints (max 3°)
Only the male cut needs to be adjusted if an out-
of-square joint is required. On out-of-square
joints there is a possibility of the chipboard core
of the worktop becoming exposed which will
need to be hidden with sealant.
Depending on accessibility mark out an out-of-
square joint, first lay the female board on the
cupboard carcass in position. Next lay the male
section of board on to the carcass and on top of
the female section of the board. Support other
end. Mark around the female joint onto the male
section of board.
If inaccessible lay female onto male.
■Use only the one location bush in the male
hole indicated (M).
■Swing the template to suit the angle required
and clamp down.
■Remember to allow an 8.5mm gap between
template and cutting line.

Cutting the Bolt Recesses
When the joint has been tested, proceed as
follows to cut the recess for panel butt
connectors on the underside of the worktop.
The same cutter and guide bush are retained
and used with the integral bolt recess slots in
the jig to produce the recesses for the panel butt
connectors. The bolt recess position can be
gauged approximately 150mm from the edge of
the postform edge, or where access is possible
with kitchen units. Mark with pencil both
positions on the underside of the worktop.
Insert the location bushes into the bolt recess
holes (B) as shown.
■The template may need to be inverted when
cutting some bolt recesses.
■Securely clamp jig to worktop.
■The bolt recesses should be approximately
20mm deep although this will depend upon
the thickness of worktop.
■Once one bolt recess is cut move jig over to
the remaining pencil lines and repeat.
■Repeat the procedure for the male joint.
Best results are achieved when the
centre line of the bolt corresponds to
the centre line of the worktop. Clamp
jig securely to worktop.
Strengthening the Joint
If the joint between the worktops is not supported
underneath, after some time the joint may ‘sag’
and become misaligned; to reduce this the joint
should be reinforced with a loose tongue or
biscuit dowels. The T-TECH biscuit jointing
cutter set Ref. TT/48 can be used with a portable
router. The size of biscuit used should be No.

Ref. TT/BSC/20 (100 biscuits)
A 650mm worktop should have at least 5 biscuits.

Sealing the Joint
The cut edges of the joint should be coated with
a water-resistant adhesive, or worktop sealant
before assembly, to prevent moisture seeping
into the core of the worktops, which would swell,
and disfigure the worktop.
Use a fine grit abrasive paper to clean up the
torn wood chips of both mating surfaces. Lightly
run the abrasive paper along the edges to de-nib
the cut chipboard edge. This will ensure a tidy
joint is achieved.
MAINTENANCE
The jig has been designed to operate over a
long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continual satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular
cleaning.
■Cleaning
Regularly clean the jig with a soft cloth.
■Lubrication
Your jig requires no additional lubrication.
RECYCLING
Jig, accessories and packaging should be sorted
for environmentally friendly recycling.
GUARANTEE
The jig carries a manufacturers guarantee in
accordance with the conditions on the enclosed
guarantee card.
