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
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. Unmodified 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used 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
finger 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

1850W ROUTER ENG
f) 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.
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.
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 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.
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. 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.
5) Service
a) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR POWER TOOL
1. Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety
devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
2. Wear hearing protection during extended period of operation.
3. After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing
loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
4. Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap
during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.
5. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and which are suitable for
the speed of the power tool.
6. Never tighten the collet/nut without a router bit installed in the collet /nut.
7. Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc... Protruding cutting bit may
cause power tool to jump.
8. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
7

1850W ROUTER ENG
9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
11. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting tool contacting a‘live’ wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool‘live’ and could give the operator an electric shock.
12. Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail
cancause the bit and the power tool to jump and damage the bit.
13. Always hold the power tool with two hands during start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can
cause the power tool to twist.
14. Never start the power tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the power tool.
15. Before using the power tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.
16. Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17. When routing or cutting, the direction of feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the material is
important. Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the bit. Feeding the work in the
direction will cause the workpiece to "climb" up on the bit and may lead to loss of control
operation.
18. Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload the motor.
19. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
20. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from
workpiece.
21. Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill. The spinning bit can grab
the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
22. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation. It may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
23. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
24. When an extension cord is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your
power tool and that it is in a safe electrical condition. Fully unwind extension cords to avoid potential
overheating.
DOUBLE INSULATION
The power tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated
from the main power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and
mechanical components making it unnecessary for the power tool to be earthed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The power tool is fitted with a
two-core cable and plug.
Remove the main plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Before using the power tool, read the instruction manual carefully.
1. INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for routing grooves, edges, profiles and elongated holes as well as for copy
routing in wood, plastic and light building materials, while resting firmly on the workpiece.
2. BEFORE USING YOUR TOOL
Familiarize yourself with the power tool before use.
Note: Make sure the power tool is isolated from the mains supply before fitting accessories. Before
undertaking any maintenance or operations on the power tool detach the plug from the mains socket.
3. INSTALLING OR REMOVING ROUTER BIT
1) Place the router motor upside down on its top cap with the collet nut pointing up.
2) Press and hold the spindle lock button. If required, turn the spindle by hand until the lock engages.
Actuate the spindle lock button only when at a standstill.
3) Loosen the collet nut with the spanner provided by turning in anticlockwise direction (viewed from
bottom of router) (See Fig 1).
4) Insert the shank of the bit into the collet nut as far as it will go, then back the shank out until the
cutters are approximately 3mm away from the collet nut face (See Fig 2). Refer to the manufacturer
instructions for your router bit, where this gap will be defined as the maximum free shank length. To
ensure proper gripping of cutting-bit shank and minimize run-out, the shank of the router bit must be
inserted into the collet nut at least 16mm.
5) With the bit inserted and the spindle lock engaged, use the spanner provided to firmly tighten the
collet nut in clockwise direction. Release the spindle lock button. A loose or over tightened bit can be
dangerous. A 12mm collet cone is manufacturer installed on the power tool. When using router bits with
other shank diameter, simply installing the correct size collet cone for the bit which you intend to use
into the 12mm collet cone.
6) To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
Note: Do not tighten the collet nut without a router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet cone can be
damaged.
4. ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
1) Fit the router bit.
2) Press the fast feed button, and pull up the depth stop bar (See Fig 3).
3) Loosen the lock level, and plunge your power tool down until the bit is in contact with the workpicec.
4) Press the lock level down to hold your power tool in this position.
5) Press the fast feed button, lower the depth stop until it makes contact with the triple depth stop.
6) Raise the depth stop until the desired depth of cut is obtained. The depth of cut is equal to the
distance between the depth stop and the triple depth stop. Depth stop travel can be checked with the
scale label on the power tool body.
7) Minute depth adjustment can be obtained by turning the depth tool.
8) The triple depth stop can be turned, and has three adjusting hex bolts. You can easily obtain three
different depths of cut using these adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the depth stop. To adjust the
10

1850W ROUTER ENG
hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on the hex bolts with the spanner and then turn the hex bolts. After
obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts. The triple depth stop is also convenient for making
three passes with progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
9) By turning the nylon nut, upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted when the tip of the bit is
retracted more than required in relation to the base plate surface, turn the nylon nut to lower or upper
limit
5. ON/OFF SWITCH
To start the power tool, simply move the switch lever to the ON position. To stop the power tool, simply
move the switch lever to the OFF position (See Fig 4).
Note: Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.
6. OPERATION:
Set the power tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then turn the
power tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Move the power tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping the power 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 (See
Fig 5, See Fig 6).
Note:
Before operation, always make sure that the power tool body automatically rises to the upper limit and
the bit does not protrude from the tool base when the lock level is loosened.
Moving the power tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor.
Moving the power 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, 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 (See Fig 7).
7. STRAIGHT GUIDE
1) The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering or grooving
2) To install the straight guide, insert the straight guide on the guide holder with the wing bolt. Tighten
wing bolt only tight enough to hold the straight guide temporarily. Then insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base and tighten the wing bolts. Adjust the distance between the bit and the straight
guide by turning the fine adjusting screw. At the desired distance, tighten the wing bolt to secure the
straight guide in place.
3) When cutting, move the power tool with the straight guide flush with the side of the workpiece (See
Fig 8).
8. TRIMMER GUIDE
1) Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the like can be done easily with the trimmer guide.
The guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
2) To install the trimmer guide, insert the trimmer guide on the guide holder with the wing bolt. Tighten
wing bolt only tight enough to hold the trimmer guide temporarily. Then insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base and tighten the wing bolts. Adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer
11

guide by turning the fine adjusting screw. At the desired distance, tighten the wing bolt to secure the
trimmer guide in place. When adjusting the guide roller up on down, loosen the wing bolt. After
adjusting it, tighten the wing bolt securely.
3) When cutting, move the power tool with the guide roller riding the side of the workpiece (See Fig 9.
See Fig 10).
9. TEMPLET GUIDE
1) The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the bit passes, allowing use of the power tool
with templet patterns (See Fig 11).
2) To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the power tool base, insert the templet guide and
then tighten the screws (See Fig 12).
3) Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the power tool on the templet and move the power tool
with the templet guide sliding along the side of the templet.
Note: The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the bit and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the
following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide - router bit diameter) / 2 (See Fig 13)
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR POWER TOOL
The cutter of your router rotates clockwise (viewed from top of router). For more efficient cutting, move
your router from left to right as you stand facing the workpiece.
Note: When cutting outside edges, move your router anticlockwise and clockwise when cutting inside
edges.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
1. Keep the power tool ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed
air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn when undertaking this
process).
2. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
3. Always store your power tool and cutting discs in a dry place.
4. The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush results in motor trouble. To inspecting or replacing the carbon brushes, use a screwdriver to
remove the brush holder caps (See Fig 14). Take out the carbon brushes. If it becomes worn to or near
“wear limit” (See Fig 15 ), replacing the new ones, reinstall the holder cap firmly.
Note: Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
5. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.If your power tool will not operate, check the power at the mains plug, or check the carbon brushes.
2.If bit can not be installed, check the bit and collet size. Change the bit of right size if bit size is
12
