ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY OF CUTTERS
–
! Remove the plug before performing any work on
the tool.
! Make sure that the cutter axis is perfectly clean.
Make sure the diameter clamp (6 mm) corresponds
to size of the cutter axis.
– Turn the tool with the base
– Hold the axis with the key
and keep it in there position, while:
TO ASSEMBLY:

on hitch.

REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES

• Replacing the carbon brushes, when the tool couldn't
run or too much sparkle.
• Carbon brushes which are worn out (burned, broken
or shorter than limited length see Fig. 19) have to be
replaced by new ones.
• Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time
and use the brush by original manufacturer..
• Turn the brush holder caps loose (2) by screw driver (1)
(figure 20). Black caps which can be found on the side
of the tool.
• Take the worn brushes out of the holder and remove
possible dust deposit with compressed air.
• Place the new carbon brushes in the reverse order.
• The brushes hove to fall in the holders easily.
• After placing the new carbon brushes, let the tool run for
some minutes so that the brusheds fit better. (see Fig. 20)

OPERATION

Use the appropriate router bits (figure 21)
Put the tool onto the work piece but the cutting bits does not
touching it. Turn on the tool. When the tool achieves the full
speed, keep it moving forward to correct direction. Make
sure to keep the base plate trimly with the working objects
and keep the tool moving with even speed. (see figure 4.)
Note:
1. Work piece
2. Rotating direction of cutting bits
3. Overlook from top
4. Cutting direction
WARNING!
If moving the tools forward too fast will cause the bad quality
of work piece, damaging the cutting bits or motor of the tool.
If moving the tools forward to slowly will cause the cutting bits
too hot and bad quality of work piece. Before starting cutting,

please try cutting firstly to some wasted work pieces. This will
tell you the cutting quality and then you could adjust the tool.
When
1. Cutting direction
2. Rotating direction of cutting bits
3. Work piece
4. Parallel guide
When using the parallel guide or guide bar, please make sure
to install it onto the right hand of feeding direction. Parallel
bar and guide are for fine cutting of the tools. (see figure 5.)
WARNING!
The maximum cutting depth of the tool is 3 mm. If you
need depth more than 3mm, you could achieve it by cutting
couple of times.
GUIDE BUSH
There is a guide bush in accessories. The cutting bit could
get through the guide bush and cutting the work piece
according to logo. (see figure 6.)
Take down the base plate by loosen the screws. Put The
guide bush onto the base plate then fix back onto the tool.
Screw it tightly. (see figure 7.)
Note:
1. Base plate
2. Screws
3. Screwdriver
Fix the logo guider onto the work piece. Put the tool onto
the guider. Move the tool forward to cutting the work piece
according to the side line of guider. (see figure 8.)
Note:
1. Cutting bit
2. Base plate
3. Logo guider
4. Work piece
5. Guide bush
PARALLEL GUIDE (accessory)
When cutting the edge or groove of work piece, the
parallel guide is quite useful. (see Fig 9.)
Use the bolt and wing nut to assemble guide bar to the
parallel guide. (see Fig 10.)
Note:
1. Bolt with flange
2. Tab bar
3. Parallel guide
4. Wing nut
Adjust the distance between the tool and the parallel guide
(2), releasing the clamp (1). When you reach the desired
distance, reattach the clamp firmly. (See Fig 11).
If the distance from the edge off the work piece to cutting line
is too far, then you could not use the parallel guide. Under
such condition, please fix a straight plate onto the work
piece tightly as a guide plate for cutting. Then move the tool
forward along the edge of this guide plate. (see Fig 12.)
CUTTING CIRCLE
If you assemble the parallel guide according to the Fig 13 and
Fig 14, then you could cut circle with the tool. The cutting radius
(the distance between cutting bits and the center of cirle):
