WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to
protect the user from shock resulting from a
break in the toolʼs internal wiring. Observe all
normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to
your nearest authorized service center for repair.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with
this tool. Any such alteration or modification
is misuse and could result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious personal
injury.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Your router should never be connected to power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing cutters, or
when not in use. Disconnecting your router will
prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
CUTTER INSTALLATION (FIG. 3 & 4)
■ UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in
accidental starting causing serious injury.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle
lock, always allow motor to come to a complete
stop before engaging spindle lock.
■ Remove chip shield (7) from router base (16).
■ Depress spindle lock (5).
■ Lay router down on workbench in order to gain easy
access to collet nut (22). Place the spanner (19)
provided through front of router base onto collet nut
ENGLISH
and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
WARNING:
If you are changing a cutter immediately after
use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet
with your hands or fingers. They will get burned
because of the heat buildup from cutting. Always
use the wrench provided.
■ Install cutter (21) once collet nut is loose. If changing
cutters, cutter will easily slip from collet (24) after
loosening collet nut. For example: The collet is
machined to precision tolerances to fit cutters with 1/2"
(12.7 mm) diameter shanks. To use cutters with 1/4"
(6.35 mm) diameter shanks, insert the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
collet adaptor(18) into the 1/2" (12.7 mm) collet.
■ Insert shank of cutter until shank bottoms out, then pull
it out 1/16" (1.6 mm) to allow for expansion when the
bit gets hot.
■ Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise
with the wrench provided.
■ Release spindle lock.
■ Replace chip shield.
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the
cutter may detach during use causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks.
Undersized shanks will not tighten properly and
could be thrown from the tool causing injury.
WARNING:
Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter
than the opening in router base. Use of such
cutters will come in contact with the router base
and damage both the cutter and router base.
This situation could also cause possible loss of
control or create other hazardous conditions that
could cause possible serious personal injury.

DEPTH OF CUT

When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in
one pass, it is best to make the cut in several passes.
We recommend that cuts be made at a depth not
exceeding 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) and that several passes be
made to reach deeper cuts.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors
