This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons without supervision. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

This tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 50144; therefore no earth wire is required.

Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised repair agent or a qualified electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply and remove the fuse from the plug.
- Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
- Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
- The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see above). Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
- Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
- If the plug has a fuse cover, make sure that the fuse cover is fitted. Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is missing or damaged.

Never use a light socket.

Using an extension cable

Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data). Before use, inspect the extension cable for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable if damaged or defective.

USE

Let the tool work at its own pace.
Do not overload.

• Carefully guide the cable in order to avoid accidentally cutting it.

Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. E)

The depth of cut is the distance X between the depth stop bar (9) and the depth stop (18). The depth of cut can be set in two different ways as described below.

Adjusting the depth of cut using a piece of wood (fig. A & F)

Fit the router bit as described above.
Loosen the locking screw (10).
Pull the plunge lock lever (4) up.
Plunge the router down until the router bit touches the workpiece.
Push the plunge lock lever (4) down.
Pull the depth stop bar (9) up.
- Place a piece of wood with a thickness equal to the desired depth of cut between the depth stop (18) and the depth stop bar (9).
Tighten the locking screw (10).
Remove the piece of wood.
Pull the plunge lock lever (4) up and let the router return to its original position.
After switching the router on, plunge it down and make the desired cut.

Adjusting the depth of cut using the scale (fig. A & G)

Fit the router bit as described above.

Pull the plunge lock lever (4) up and let the router return to its original position.
After switching the router on, plunge it down and make the desired cut.

Adjusting the revolver depth stop (fig. H)

After turning the revolver depth stop to the desired setting, you can fine-adjust the depth stop to be used. If you want to make several cuts with a different depth of cut, adjust each of the depth stops.

Turn the depth stop screw (19) up or down as required using a screwdriver.

Setting the speed (fig. A)

• Set the speed control knob (3) to the required speed. Use a high speed for small diameter router bits. Use a low speed for large diameter router bits.

Using a batten as a guide (fig. 1)

When it is not possible to use the edge guide, for example when routing grooves in the back panel of a bookcase to support shelves, proceed as follows:

Place a batten onto the workpiece.
Move the batten until it is in the correct position to guide the tool.
- Securely clamp the batten to the workpiece.

Using the template guide (fig. M)

The template guide can be used to make a cutout shape from a template, for instance a letter.

Secure the template over the workpiece with double-sided tape or 'G' clamps.

• The router bit must extend below the flange of the template guide, to cut the workpiece in the shape of the template.

Using the distance piece (fig. N)

The distance piece can be used for trimming wooden or laminate vertical projections.

Using the centring pin (fig. O)

The centring pin can be used to cut out circular patterns.

Drill a hole for the point of the centring pin in the centre of the circle to be cut.
Place the router on the workpiece with the point of the centring pin in the drilled hole.
Adjust the radius of the circle with the bars of the edge guide.
The router can now be moved over the workpiece to cut out the circle.

Using the copy follower (fig. P)

The copy follower helps to maintain an equal cutting distance along the edge of irregularly shaped workpieces.

Place the router on the workpiece at the desired distance from the edge to be copied.
Adjust the bars of the edge guide until the wheel is in contact with the workpiece.

Switching on and off (fig. A)

Switching on

Keep the lock-off button (2) depressed and press the on/off switch (1).
Release the lock-off button.
