5. Removing the spring
The springs within the column of the router
can be removed. Doing so will eliminate
spring resistance and allows easy
adjustment of cutting depth when attaching
the router stand.
(1) Loosen the 4 sub base screws, and remove
the sub base.
(2) Loosen the stopper bolt and remove it, so
the spring can be removed. (Fig. 18)
WARNING:
Remove the stopper bolt with the main unit
(router) fixed at its maximum height.
Removing the stopper bolt with the unit in
a shortened condition may cause the
stopper bolt and spring to be discharged
and cause injury.
6. Cutting
WARNING:
Wear eye protection when operating this
tool.
Keep your hands, face and other body parts
away from the bits and any other rotating
parts, while operating the tool.
(1) As shown in Fig. 19, remove the bit from
the work pieces and press the switch lever
up to the ON position. Do not start cutting
operation until the bit has reached full
rotating speed.
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction
indicated on the base). To obtain maximum
cutting effectiveness, feed the router in
conformance with the feed directions shown
in Fig. 20.
NOTE:
If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves,
a high pitched cutting noise may be
produced.
Replacing the worn bit with a new one will
eliminate the high pitched noise.
