Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble free performance. CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire owner's manual before using your router.

[. . . ] This can be used to adjust the rotational speed of the bit to its size and the material being worked on. NOTE: Select high speed for larger router bits and heavy grained timber. Use lower speed only for very small router bits and composition board. Do not overload the router as this may cause motor damage at lower speed. Speed Setting The actual speed will depend on the material and other conditions and is best determined by use on a scrap piece of material before routing the actual workpiece. NOTE: Do not run the tool at low speeds for extended periods without occasionally running at high speed with no load applied. At lower speeds the fan does not cool the motor as effectively as it does at high speed and the motor may overheat. Fig 1 Variable Speed Control On/Off Switch DUST EXTRACTION (Fig 2 ) Mount the dust port on the base with hexagon screws supplied. It is advisable to have the outlet on the opposite side from the On/Off switch on the body of the Router to allow free access to the On/Off switch. The dust port can be connected to the dust extraction channel. NOTE: Outlet is on the opposite side of the body to the On/Off switch. Fig 3 Fig 2 Spindle Lock Button INSTALLING & REMOVING ROUTER BITS (Fig 3 & 4) Ensure that the bit you wish to use is suited for your Router. It must be capable of at least 28000 r. p. m Also, ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the bit. Before use, check that the bit to be installed for any cracks or chips. If the bit shows any sign of damage do not use it. Insert the bit into the collet to a depth of at least twice its diameter. Finger tighten the collet nut until the bit is held in place. Depress spindle lock button (situated above the collet) with finger, locking spindle into place. With the spanner provided, firmly tighten the collet nut until the bit is securely held. Never tighten the collet nut without a cutter bit in the collet. Be sure to remove the spanner then plug the unit to the power supply. Turn the Router on to check for any undue vibration or wobbling which may indicate the bit is damaged or not properly WARNING Router bits are extremely sharp Take care when inserting and removing bits as they can cause serious injury. Removal is a reverse of the above procedure. [. . . ] Therefore when using the Router it should always be moved from left to right as you are facing the workpiece. When cutting edges, move the Router anti-clockwise for outside edges and clockwise when cutting inside edges. RATE OF FEED The rate at which the Router is moved through the material has a significant effect on the quality of the cut and the length of service you will get from your Router and bits. Fix the guide to the base of the Router by removing the two screws retaining the dust extraction duct, placing the guide in the recess provided in the base and replacing the screws. [. . . ]
