Safety instructions WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Always wear eye and ear protection and use a dust mask. Power tools • Handle router bits with care, they can be extremely sharp. • Check the bit carefully for signs of damage or cracks before use. Replace cracked or damaged bits immediately.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Assembly The GMC Electric Router is packed, fully assembled except for the dust extraction adaptor and parallel and template guide.

(8). 3. Loosen the depth lock lever (7) and lower the machine body until the router bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the depth lock lever to maintain the position of the bit just touching the flat surface.
Dust extraction There are three different ways of connecting the router to a dust extraction system or to a household vacuum cleaner nozzle allowing the dust to be efficiently removed as the tool is used.
1. First set up the work so you are ready to cut your wood. 2. Plug the router into the mains socket. 3. Press the on/off trigger switch (9) to turn on the router. 4. To switch off, just release the the On/Off switch (9).
• Connect the router to the power supply. • Turn the router on and wait for the bit to attain full speed. Please refer to the section “SWITCHING ON AND OFF”. • Feed the router so that the bit turns into the work, not away from it.
