▪ After changing the bit 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; loss-rotating components will be violently thrown.
▪ Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the cutter.
▪ Always hold the tool with two hands during start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
▪ The direction of feeding the bit into the material is very important and it relates to the
direction of bit rotation. When viewing the tool form the top, the bit rotates clockwise. Feed
direction of cutting must be counter-clockwise. NOTE: inside and outside cuts will require
different feed direction; refer to section on feeding the router. Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
▪ 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.
▪ Never touch the bit during or immediately after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
▪ 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.
▪ Never use bits that have a cutting diameter greater than the opening in the base.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
− Lead form lead-based paints,
− Crystalline silica form bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
− Arsenic and chromium form chemically treated lumber.
Your risk form these exposures vary, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce you exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Router cutting fitting (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Unplug the router before service or making any adjustments.
Note: Bear in mind that the cutter shank diameter must be compatible with
both the collet size and speed.
▪ Turn the router upside down.
▪ Press in the spindle lock button (16).
▪ Undo the nut (8) using the spanner (26).
▪ Insert the cutter using the appropriate collet, 6 or 8 mm.
▪ Tighten the collet nut using the spanner.
