To install the bit, fall the tool with the offset base on its
side. Insert the hex wrench into the hole in the offset
base.
With the hex wrench held in that position, insert the bit
into the collet cone on the shaft of the offset base from
the opposite side and tighten the collet nut firmly with a
wrench.
To remove the bit at replacement, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
(2) Offset base (optional accessory) can also be
used with a trimmer base and a grip
attachment (optional accessory) for more
stability.

Loosen the screws and remove the upper section from
the offset base. Put aside the upper section of the offset
base.
Fig.31
Mount the trimmer base with four screws and the grip
attachment (optional accessory) with two screws on the
offset base plate.
Screw a bar type grip (optional accessory) onto the grip
attachment.

In another way of use, the knob type grip which is
removed from a plunge base (optional accessory) can
be installed on the grip attachment. To install the knob
type grip, place it on the grip attachment and secure it
with a screw.

When using as a router only with a plunge
base (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
When using as a router, hold the tool firmly with
•
both hands.
Fig.34
To use the tool as a router, install the tool on a plunge
base (optional accessory) by pressing it down fully.
Either knob type grip or bar type grip (optional
accessory) can be used according to your work.
Fig.35
To use the bar type grip (optional accessory), loosen the
screw and remove the knob type grip.
Fig.36
And then screw the bar type grip on the base.
Adjusting the depth of cut when using the plunge
base (optional accessory)
Fig.37
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever
and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat
surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body.
Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise. Lower
the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting
bolt. Align the depth pointer with the "0" graduation. The
depth of cut is indicated on the scale by the depth pointer.
While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper
pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute
depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the
adjusting knob (1 mm per turn).
By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you
can fasten the stopper pole firmly.
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained
by loosening the lock lever and then lowering the tool
body until the stopper pole makes contact with the
adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.
Always firmly hold the tool by both grip during operation.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit
making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the
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 bit in the feed direction.

NOTE:
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor
•
quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving
the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the
cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the 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.
