Push the switch down to start the Router. It will lock into place, allowing you to remove your finger while the Router remains in operation. Always ensure you are holding the Router properly before depressing the switch to turn the tool on. To turn the Router off, simply push the switch up. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (Fig 1) Your Router features variable speed control to greatly increase the versatility of the tool. WARNING Do not tighten the collet nut without first inserting a bit or damage to the collet cone will result. LOCK LEVER (Fig 5 & 6) The lock lever on your Router is adjustable. To place the lever in a position with which you are comfortable, remove the phillips head screw, pull the lever off its retaining shaft then place it to your preferred position and re-tighten the screw. Insert the bit into the Router as outlined previously. Loosen the wing screw retaining the depth set pole. With the Router on a flat surface, loosen the lock lever and lower the Router body until the bit just touches the surface. Lift up the depth set pole and lift and rotate the triple depth set block to a suitable position. Allow the depth set pole to rest on the threaded bolt in the triple depth set block and note the scale reading where it enters the upper housing. Add the require depth of cut to the scale reading (in mm), move the depth set ploe up to the reading and tighten the wing screw. The Router is now set for the required depth. NOTE: Always do a trial run of a new set depth on a scrap piece of material to ensure the depth of cut is exactly as required.

[. . . ] Always check that the trimming bit blade does not damage other surfaces. DIRECTION OF FEED The Router motor, and therefore the bit, revolves in a clockwise direction. This gives the tool a tendency to twist counter clockwise in your hands, particularly when starting the tool. The router bits are designed to use this clockwise rotation to assist in the cutting and clearing of the material. [. . . ]
