OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for routing grooves,
edges, profiles and elongated holes as well as
for copy routing in wood, plastic and light building
materials, while resting firmly on the workpiece.
1. INSERT THE ROUTER BIT
Router Bit Selection
Depending on processing and application, router
bits are available in many different designs and
qualities:
Router bits made of high-speed steel (HSS) is
suitable for the machining of soft materials, e. g.
softwood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) is particularly
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g.
hard wood and aluminum.
Warning: Use only routing tools with an
allowable speed matching at least the
highest no load speed of the machine. The
shank diameter of the router bit must
correspond with the rated diameter of the
collet.
Inserting Router Bits (See Fig. A)
Before any work on the machine
itself, disconnect the mains plug. It is
recommended to wear protective gloves
when inserting or replacing router bits.
Press spindle lock button (14) and keep
depressed. If required, turn the spindle by hand
until the lock engages.
Press the spindle lock button only when at a
standstill.
Insert router bit. The shank of the router bit must
be inserted at least 20 mm (shank length).
Tighten the tightening nut (20) with the spanner
(12) . Release the spindle lock button.
Warning: Do not tighten the tightening nut
of the collet without a router bit inserted.

HOW TO FIT THE 6.35 mm COLLET (See Fig.
B)
This router is supplied with a 6.35m collet as an
accessory.
To fit the 6.35 mm collet (b) simply slide it into the
12.7mm collet (a) fitted to the collet nut.
The 6.35 mm collet has a flange coller to ensure
insertion to correct depth.
NOTE: 1. Do not attempt to remove the
12.7mm collet from the collet nut.
2. Always wear safety gloves when changing
the router bits.

2. MOUNTING THE EXTRACTION ADAPTER
(SEE FIG. C)
To connect the vacuum cleaner via a suction
hose, you must fasten dust adapter (17) to base
plate (9) with both screws and nuts (22).
Warning: When mounting the extraction
adapter, ensure correct mounting
position!
• For dust extraction, the vacuum hose can be
connected directly to the extraction adapter.
• Clean the dust adapter (17) regularly to ensure
optimum dust extraction at all times.
• The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the
material to be worked.
• When vacuuming dry dust that is especially
detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a
special vacuum cleaner.
