Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Carefully guide the cable in order to avoid accidentally
N
cutting it.
Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. I, J & K)
The depth of cut is the distance X between the depth stop bar
(9) and the depth stop (29). The depth of cut can be set in two
different ways as described below.
Adjusting the depth of cut using the scale (fig. J)
Fit the router bit as described above.
N

N
Pull the plunge lock lever (5) up.
N
Plunge the router down until the router bit touches the
N
workpiece.
Push the plunge lock lever (5) down.
N
Move the depth stop bar (9) down against the depth stop
N
using the depth stop adjuster (31). Reset the scale by
aligning the zero marking (32) with the arrow (33).
Move the depth stop bar (9) to the calculated position
N
using the depth stop adjuster (31). One quarter turn
corresponds to approx. 6.25 mm.

N
Fine adjust using the adjusting knob (34). One full turn
N
corresponds to approx. 1 mm.
Pull the plunge lock lever (5) up and return the router to its
N
original position.
After switching the router on, plunge it down and make
N
the desired cut.
Adjusting the depth of cut using a piece of wood (fig. K)
Fit the router bit and plunge the router down as described
N
above.
Loosen the locking screw (30).
N
Move the depth stop bar (9) up using the depth stop
N
adjuster (31).
Place a piece of wood with a thickness equal to the
N
desired depth of cut between the depth stop (29) and the
depth stop bar (9).
Move the depth stop bar (9) down against the wood using
N
the depth stop adjuster (31).
Tighten the locking screw (30).
N
Fine adjust using the adjusting knob (34).
N
Remove the piece of wood.
N
Pull the plunge lock lever (5) up and return the router to its
N
original position.
After switching the router on, plunge it down and make
N
the desired cut.
Adjusting the revolver depth stop (fig. L)
After turning the revolver depth stop to the desired setting,
you can fine-adjust the depth stop to be used. If you want to
make several cuts with a different depth of cut, adjust each of
the depth stops.
Turn the depth stop screw (35) up or down as required
N
using a screwdriver.
Setting the speed
Set the speed control knob (4) to the required speed.
N
Use a high speed for small diameter router bits. Use a low
speed for large diameter router bits.
Using a batten as a guide (fig. M)
When it is not possible to use the edge guide, for example
when routing grooves in the back panel of a bookcase to
support shelves, proceed as follows:
Select a piece of wood with a straight edge to use as a
N
batten.
Place the batten onto the workpiece.
N
Move the batten until it is in the correct position to guide
N
the tool.
Securely clamp the batten to the workpiece.
