it to just make contact with the depth turret stop (8).
Take note of the measurement on the depth label.
4. Raise the depth gauge
and tighten using the
depth gauge locking knob
(5). The difference in
distance between the new
measurement and the
original measurement will
be equivalent to the depth
of cut. Use the micrometer
depth adjustment (6) for
precise setting of cutting
depth.
5. Loosen the depth lock lever
(7) and lower the machine
body until the depth gauge
again just makes contact with
the depth turret stop (8).
6. The depth turret stop (8)
has eight steps. By rotating
the depth turret stop it
is possible to quickly and
easily set the depth at
eight different levels. This
procedure is particularly
useful when you wish
to make a deep cut in a
number of stages.
Variable speed control
The variable speed dial (3)
is located in the left handle
(1) for convenient speed
adjustment and improved
safety.
1. Adjust the variable speed
dial (3) to suit different
working materials. The tool
cuts quicker and smoother at different speeds when
working in different woods or in plastic or aluminium.
2. Turn the dial to a higher number for faster speed, turn
the dial to a lower number to reduce the speed.
3. Determine the optimum speed by making a trial cut in
a scrap piece of material.
NOTE. Using the correct speed for the job increases the
life of the bit.
Switching on and off
CAUTION. Before plugging in the tool always check that
the trigger switch engages and disengages properly.
1. Press the on/off trigger switch (9) to turn on the
router.
2. To turn the router off release the on/off trigger switch.
3. If you require the router to run continually without
having to continue to apply pressure to the trigger
switch, depress the lock-on button (10) to lock the
switch on.
4. The router will now run in the “locked-on” condition.
5. If the switch is in the lock-on position depress the on/
off trigger switch (9) to disengage the lock-on button
(10) and then release the switch. The router will stop.
Making a cut
Your router can be used to make specialty cuts and
shapes in the surface and on the edge of wood. It
accepts a wide range of bits that are each designed for
a specific cut or shape.
