ICheck all ball bearing and blade
fixing screws before use to ensure
they are tight and secure.
Periodically check when machining
over long periods.
IWhen using a template guide bush
ensure it cannot come into contact
with collet and nut.
INoise. 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.
IEye protection. Wear safety
goggles, spectacles or visors to
protect the eyes from ejected
waste particles.
IRespiratory protection. Wear a face
or dust mask, or powered
respirator. Dust masks/filters should
be changed regularly.
IDo not switch router on with the
cutter touching the workpiece.
IThe direction of routing must
always be opposite to the cutter's
direction of rotation.
IAfter work, release the router
plunge and allow spindle to stop
rotating before putting machine
down.
ICheck 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
ICutting tools are sharp. Care
should be taken when handling
them.
IAlways use cutters with a shank
diameter corresponding to the size
of the collet installed in your tool.
IAlways 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 or cutter instructions.
IAlways 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.
INever use cutters with a diameter
exceeding the maximum diameter
indicated in the technical data of
the powertool or attachment used.
IDo not drop cutters or knock them
against hard objects. Do not use
cutters that are damaged.
ICutters should be kept clean. Resin
build up should be removed at
regular intervals. The use of a dry
lubricant will act as a preventative.
Do not use PTFE spray on plastic
parts.
ICutter shanks should be inserted
into the collet to the mark line on
the shank. This ensures that at
least 3⁄4of 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.
IObserve 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.
IIt 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.
IDo 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.
IVery small diameter cutters must
be handled and used with care.
IAlways return cutter to its
packaging after use.
IShould you experience excessive
vibration during use stop
immediately. Have the eccentricity
of the router, router cutter and
clamping system checked.
IAll 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
IAfter work, release the router
plunge to protect the cutter.
IAlways use a push-stick or push-
block for last 300mm of the cut.
IWhenever possible use a work
holding device or jig to secure
component being machined.
IEnsure attachment is securely fitted
to the workbench, with table
surface at approximately hip height.
IEnsure a No-Volt Release Switch is
fixed to or adjacent to the
attachment and that it is used
correctly.
ICheck the direction of the
workpiece is always opposite to the
cutter's direction of rotation.
IDo not use awkward or
uncomfortable hand positions.
IDo 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
IJudge 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.
ITake many light passes rather than
one deep cut to reduce the side
load applied to both router and
router cutter.
ITrial cuts should be made on waste
material before starting any project.
IWhen using some attachments
including a router table or dovetail
jig, the use of a fine height adjuster
is highly recommended.
IWhen 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
IComposite 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.
IThe design of composite tools must
not be changed in the process of
maintenance.
IReplacement parts must meet
manufacturer’s specification.
ITolerances which ensure correct
clamping by the collet shall be
maintained.
IWhen 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.

OPERATION
1. Handle
Always use both handles (1) and make sure that
you have a firm grip on the router before
proceeding with any work.
2. Speed Control
Adjust the speed control
(2) to suit different working
materials. The tool cuts
quicker and smoother at
different speeds when
working in different woods
or in plastic or aluminium.
Determine the optimum
speed by making a trial cut
in a scrap piece of
material.
Using the correct speed for the job
increases the life of the cutter.
These speeds are approximate values
(within 20%) and are for reference
purpose only.

from the base while a cutter is fitted
in the collet. Always disconnect the
router from the power supply before
separating the motor housing from the
base.
IUse the 15mm A/F spanner (17) to release
the base locking nut (11) on the base (10).
Slacken the nut off until the motor housing
slides out of the base (10).
IWhen re-fitting the motor housing ensure that
the switch (6) is facing the front of the router
so that it is accessible when plunge routing.
IEnsure that the base locking nut (11) is re-
tightened before using the router for normal
plunge cutting operations.
12. Motor Housing
The motor housing (12) when removed from the
router base (10) allows the router to be used for
carving and grinding.
Never use high speed router cutters
for carving operations.
Always unplug the machine from the
power supply before separating the
router from its plunge base.
13. Spindle
The spindle (13) has an external thread which
accepts the collet (14), collet spring (16) and
collet nut (15).
14. Collet
The collet (14) is fitted into the spindle (13) by
the collet nut (15).
15. Collet Nut
The collet nut (15) attaches the collet (14) to the
spindle. The router cutter is held secure by
tightening the collet nut (15).
16. Collet Spring
This spring (16) enables the router cutter to be
removed more easily.
17 & 18. Spanners
Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed
from the power point before making
any adjustments or maintenance
procedures. Always wear sturdy
gloves when handling or changing
cutters as they can be very sharp.
To change cutters both the spanners are used:
Ensure that the correct collet (14) is installed for
the cutter you are about to fit. Cutters with a
6.35mm shank fit into the 6.35mm collet, cutters
with a 6mm shank fit into the 6mm collet &
cutters with a 8mm shank fit into the 8mm collet.
ITo remove a collet, first release the plunge
lock lever (7) and ensure that the router body
is in its highest position.
IInsert at least
3
⁄
4 of the
shank length of the
cutter into the collet
assembly (14 & 15).
IPlace the 15mm A/F
spanner (17) onto the
flats on the spindle (13)
to lock while tightening
the collet nut (15) with the 17mm A/F

Do not fully tighten the collet nut with
the spanner unless there is a cutter in
place or you may damage the collet.
Make sure that the cutter is firmly
secured before commencing
operation.
19. Brush Cover Fixing Screw
To gain access to the carbon brush and spring
sets, unscrew the brush cover fixing screw (19).
20. Template Guide Bush
The template guide (20) can be used in various
ways:
IProducing duplicates of a particular design of
an original shape.
IIn conjunction with a template, producing
decorative features.
IRepetitive cutting shapes.
If you wish to make your own templates it is best
to use a hardwood such as plywood. Use a
piece that is just thicker than the depth of the
template guide. Allow for the thickness of the
guide in your template to ensure that the work
piece is cut to the correct size.
A cutter is chosen with a diameter which will
pass through the centre of the bush leaving
Calculations for template offset
enough clearance. The cutter can be straight or
shaped. The router can then be guided around
the template so that the shape of the template
will be replicated.
The guide bush offset needs to be allowed for
when calculating the shape of the template. The
template must be smaller by an amount equal to
the difference between the ‘outer edge of the
guide ring’ and the ‘outer edge of the cutter’.
See below for the offset calculation. The edge of
the template must be free of imperfections as
these will be replicated in the final workpiece.
21. Template Guide Bush
Fixing Screw & Nut
The template guide bush fixing screws and nuts
(21) are used to secure the template guide bush
(20) to the router base (10).
22. Dust Extraction Spout
The dust extraction spout (22) allows a dust
extraction system to be
fitted to the router
permitting the efficient
removal of dust whilst the
router is in use. The dust
extraction spout (22) is
fitted to the router base (10)
using the two screws from
the template guide bush
fixing screw and nut set

Feed Direction
When routing along an edge, the direction of the
router travel should be against that of the
rotation of the cutter. This will create the correct
cutting action and prevent the cutter ‘snatching’.
It will also pull the router towards the workpiece
and hence the side-fence or guide bearing will
be less likely to wander from the edge of the
workpiece.
Feed Speed
The speed at which the cutter is fed into the
wood must not be too fast that the motor slows
down, or too slow that the cutter leaves burn
marks on the face of the wood. Practice judging
the speed by listening to the sound of the motor
when routing.
Moulding Natural Timbers
When edge moulding natural timbers, always
mould the end grain first, followed by the long
grain. This ensures that if there is ‘breakout’, this
will be removed when the long grain is routed.
The direction of routing must always
be opposite to the cutter’s direction of
rotation, otherwise there is a risk of
kick-back.
Cutting Direction

Do not use a dust extraction system or
a vacuum cleaner when working on
metal surfaces. Sparks may ignite
