APPLICATIONS
Woodworking jobs centered on grooving and
chamfering.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a power receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will
start operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
4. Setting the attachment angle of the handle:
As Fig. 1 shows, the handle attachment angle can be
set in three stages. Use a Plus-head screwdriver to
loosen the machine screw attached to the handle 1 ,
adjust the handle to the desired position and re-
tighten the machine screw.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING BITS
1. Mounting Bits:
(1) Insert the bit deeply in the collet chuck hole. As shown
in Fig. 2, press the lock plate 3 , tighten the collet nut
and then use the accessory wrench 2 to firmly tighten
the collet chuck.
CAUTION
Ensure that the collet chuck is firmly tightened after
inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage to
the collet chuck.
(2) Be sure to use a chuck sleeve when using a 6 mm, 8
mm, 10 mm, 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch bit with Models

M12V(S) or M12SA(S). Also use a chuck sleeve when
using a 6 mm or 1/4 inch bit on a Model M8(S) or
M8V(S) with a collet chuck capacity of 8 mm. First
insert the chuck sleeve deeply in the collet chuck, then
insert the bit in the chuck sleeve. Tighten the collet
chuck firmly as in step (1).
2. Dismounting Bits:
When dismounting the bits, do so by following the
steps for mounting bits in reverse order.
HOW TO USE THE ROUTER
1. Setting the cutting depth:
(1) As shown in Fig. 3, turn the stopper block 6 so that the
section to which the cut depth setting screw 7 on
stopper block 6 is not attached comes to the bottom
of the stopper pole 8 . Loosen wing bolt (A) 9 and turn
knob 0 to bring stopper pole 8 in contact with
stopper block 6 .
(2) As shown in Fig. 4, loosen the lock lever and press
down the main unit until the bit comes into slight
contact with the surface of the materials. Tighten the
lock lever at this point.
(3) As shown in Fig. 5, loosen wing bolt (B) A . Turning
knob 0 while pulling it outward will cause scale C to
move. Pushing it back and turning will cause stopper
pole 8 to move. Turn knob 0 while pulling and align
the arrow on stopper pole 8 to "0" of scale C . Tighten
wing bolt (B) A . This condition is the "0" cutting
depth.
(4) As shown in Fig. 6, turn back knob 0 and then tighten
the wing bolt (A) 9 when the arrow on the stopper
pole 8 indicates the desired cutting depth.
(5) Loosen the lock lever and press the main unit down
until the stopper pole comes in contact with the
stopper block to obtain the desired cutting depth.
(6) The two cut-depth setting screws 7 attached to the
stopper block can be adjusted to simultaneously set
three different cutting depths. As shown in Fig. 7, use
a wrench to tighten the nuts so that the cut-depth
setting screws 7 do not come loose at this time.
(7) As shown in Fig. 8 (a), loosening the two nuts E on the
threaded column and moving them down will allow
you to move down to the end position of the bit when
the lock lever was loosened. This is helpful when
moving the router to align the bit with the cutting
position. As shown in Fig. 8 (b), tighten the upper and
lower nuts E to secure the cutting depth.
(8) When you are not using the scale to set the cutting
depth, push up the stopper pole so that it is not in the
way.
2. Guiding the Router
(1) Straight Guide (Model M12V(S), M12SA(S))
Use the straight guide for chamfering and groove
cutting along the materials side. First of all, as shown
in Fig. 9, attach the two wing bolts (A) (M6 × 15) 9 and
the two lock springs F (both standard accessories) to
the screw holes on the top side of the base. Use the
feed screw I and the wing bolt (C) (M6 × 10) J to
attach the bar holder H to the straight guide G . Insert
the guide bar K in the hole on the base. Attach and
tighten the two wing bolts (A) (M6 × 15) 9 in the
approximate position. Use the feed screw I to make
minute adjustments of the measurements from the bit
to the guide plane L . Tighten the wing bolt (C) (M6 ×
