Using the template guide
The template guide can be
used in various ways:
• Producing duplicates of
a particular design of an
original shape.
• In conjunction with a
template, producing
decorative features.
• Repetitive 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.
1. To attach the template
guide (16) turn the router
upside down and remove
the two fixing screws in the
centre of the router base.
2. Insert the template guide
into the base of the router
and secure using the two
fixing screws.
Maintenance
WARNING. 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 bits as they can
be very sharp.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all
times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the router. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the router.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Repairs
Only an authorised service centre should replace the
cordset or effect other repairs.
