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.

- 4 -
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 power 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.

- 5 -
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product(gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to router safety rules. If you use this
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3.Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

- 7 -
4.Handle the bits very carefully.
5.Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged bits immediately.

before operation.
7.Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9.Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
10.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch
for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.
11.Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction.
12.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
13.Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before
removing the tool from workpiece.
14.Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
15.Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the
like. They may cause cracks in the tool base.
16.Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter
and which are suitable for the speed of the tool.
17.Some material contains chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to
prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
18.Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and
application you are working with.

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.

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.

2. Bit revolving 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.
