Table-mounted operation
Note: Fitting and operating this router on a router table should be carried
out in accordance with the literature supplied with the router table.
Note: Whilst this product was designed for efficient and convenient operation on most router
tables, it is particularly suited for use with CMT Router Tables.
Note: Router adjustments are extremely easy using the unique features described earlier
in the manual. See 'Collet and cutter installation' and 'Cutting depth adjustment'.
IMPORTANT: The plunge spring MUST be removed before this router is fitted into a router table:
1. Set the router at the top of its plunge range and engage the Plunge Lock Lever (11)
2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring Access Cap (21) a few turns (Image O)
3. Using the palm of your hand, apply downward pressure on the Plunge Spring Access Cap
and grip the Plunge Spring Access Cap firmly with your other hand to prevent the plunge
spring from shooting upwards when released. Whilst maintaining the downward pressure
and a firm grip, twist the Plunge Spring Access Cap anti-clockwise to remove it (Image P)
WARNING: The plunge spring is tensioned with great force to enable a smooth
plunging action. The Plunge Spring Access Cap and plunge spring will shoot up quickly
with the same force once it has been unscrewed. Be careful not to release the Plunge
Spring Access Cap in an uncontrolled manor, which could cause personal injury.
4. Slowly allow the Plunge Spring Access Cap to raise upwards once released (Image Q)
5. Remove the spring and store in a safe place
6. Replace the Plunge Spring Access Cap and re-tighten the screw
WARNING: When re-inserting the plunge spring, carefully check that the Plunge
Spring Access Cap is correctly fastened. It should sit parallel with the body of
the tool with no visible gap, and the securing screw should be correctly located
to prevent the Plunge Spring Access Cap from accidently unscrewing.
NOTE: Be sure to re-fit the plunge spring before using the router freehand.
IMPORTANT: Before mounting the router under the router table, make sure the Depth Stop
Lock Knob (5) is loosened and the Plunge Lock Lever (11) is in the unlocked position.
• The Table Height Winder (25) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (14)
for quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted
Installing the No Voltage Release bypass key:
The CMT7E router has a No Voltage Release (NVR) function which prevents the motor from
automatically restarting after a power interruption. To reset the tool, the switch must be returned
to the OFF position before switching back ON. When used with CMT tables or those of another
brand, which have their own NVR protection, such as the Electrical Safety Device (999.100.11),
this function can be bypassed by inserting the NVR Bypass Key (29). Thereby enabling the ON/
OFF operation of the tool to be controlled by the ON/OFF switch on the router table.
1. Screw the NVR Bypass Key into the NVR Bypass Key Connection (22) and gently hand
tighten (image T)
2. Secure the bracket to the underside of the work centre (Image U)
3. Switch the router ON and use the router table ON/OFF switch to control the router
WARNING: ONLY use the NVR Bypass Key when the router is connected to a power source
that is itself protected by a No Voltage Release protection system, such as the Electrical Safety
Device (999.100.11). ALWAYS ensure the bracket is connected to the router table to avoid
accidentally removing the router without removing the Bypass Key.

Important

1. To mount the CMT router onto CMT Tables or those of another brand or a table of your
own construction, remove the 4 screws of the black baseplate indicated in Image S and
remove it.
2. There are 2 sets of screw threads as shown in fig. II.
• A: There are 4 x UNC screw threads (used to secure the baseplate) which are also suitable
for mounting CMT tables.
• B: set of 3 x M6 threads.
3. Use the 4 screws included (30) to install the router to CMT tables.
Note: The M6 threads are not available on earlier versions of the CMT7E (2022) router.

maintenance or cleaning.
General Inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should
be carried out by an authorised CMT service centre. This advice also applies to extension
cords used with this tool
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when
cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the device's service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient, a mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
(where applicable)
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the Motor (6) may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the two Brush Access Covers (9). Carefully remove the worn
brushes (Image R) and ensure the sockets are clean. Carefully replace with new brushes
and then replace the Brush Access Covers
• After fitting run the router without load for 2-3 minutes to help the brushes bed in. The
process of the brushes fully bedding in may take repeated uses. Motor sparking may
continue until new carbon brushes have bedded in
• Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre
