General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.

Router safety warnings

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. 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.
3. The cutter bit shank must match the designed collet chuck.
4. Only use a bit that is rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
5. Wear hearing protection during extended period of operation.
6. Handle the router bits very carefully.
7. Check the router bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.
8. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
11. Make sure the router bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. 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.
13. Be careful of the router bit rotating direction and the feed direction.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
15. Always switch off and wait for the router bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece.
16. Do not touch the router bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
17. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base.

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

Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the router bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body. While pressing the fast-feed button, move the stopper pole up or down until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm (1/16") per turn).

▶ Fig.1: 1. Nylon nut 2. Stopper pole 3. Fast-feed button 4. Adjusting hex bolt 5. Stopper block 6. Lock lever

CAUTION: The depth of cut should not be more than 20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting grooves. For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper router bit settings.

Nylon nut

For tool without the knob

The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The router bit will protrude dangerously.

For tool with the knob

By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted. When the tip of the router bit is retracted more than required in relation to the base plate surface, turn the knob to lower the upper limit.

▶ Fig.2: 1. Knob

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 20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 20 mm (13/16") deep, make several passes with progressively deeper router bit settings.

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not lower the knob too low. The router bit will protrude dangerously.

Stopper block

As the stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn, you can easily obtain three different depths of cut without readjusting the stopper pole.

▶ Fig.3: 1. Stopper pole 2. Adjusting hex bolt 3. Stopper block

Adjust the lowest adjusting hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut". Adjust the two remaining adjusting hex bolts to obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of these adjusting hex bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut. To adjust the adjusting hex bolts, turn the adjusting 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.

Switch action

⚠️CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is switched off.
⚠️ CAUTION: Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.

To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O position.

▶ Fig.4: 1. Switch lever

⚠️CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly when turning off the tool, to overcome the reaction.

Electronic function

The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for easy operation.

Indication lamp

▶ Fig.5: 1. Indication lamp

The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is plugged. If the indication lamp does not light up, the mains cord or the controller may be defective. The indication lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be defective.

Unintentional restart proof

The tool does not start with the switch lever is in the I position even when the tool is plugged.

At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows the unintentional restart proof device is on function.

To cancel the unintentional restart proof, move the switch lever to the O position.

Soft start feature

Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes the tool start smoothly.

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 router bit

Insert the router 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 router bit.

To remove the router bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.

▶ Fig.6: 1. Shaft lock 2. Wrench 3. Loosen 4. Tighten

⚠️ CAUTION: Install the router bit securely. Always use only the wrench provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened router bit can be dangerous.

NOTICE: Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a router bit or install small shank bits without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the collet cone.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Before operation, always make sure that the tool body automatically rises to the upper limit and the router bit does not protrude from the tool base when the lock lever is loosened.
CAUTION: Before operation, always make sure that the chip deflector is installed properly.
CAUTION: Always use both grips and firmly hold the tool by both grips during operations.

▶ Fig.7: 1. Chip deflector

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the router bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the router 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 router bit in the feed direction.

▶ Fig.8: 1. Workpiece 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 router bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the router 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.

NOTE: 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.
