ADJUSTMENT OF SPINDLE ROTATIONAL SPEED
Wheel for rotational speed control (25) is located on the router body.
Select spindle speed depending on your needs (depending on the
cutter bit used, hardness of processed material, type of work etc.).
The below table is a user's guideline and shows exemplary settings.
Material Cutter size
4-15 mm
Aluminium
14-40 mm
4-15 mm
Plastics
16-40 mm
4-10 mm
Chipboard 12-20 mm
22-40 mm
4-10 mm
Soft wood, e.g.
12-20 mm
pine, spruce
22-40 mm
4-10 mm
Hard wood, e.g.
12-20 mm
oak, beech
22-40 mm
Select setting after performing practical test. It is recommended
to do a few initial try cuts on waste material before commencing
the planned work with the target material.
When working with low rotational speed for a long time it is
recommended to cool down the device. To do that, start the
power tool with no load and keep it going at full speed for
approximately 1 minute.
ROUTER PLUNGING
• Place the router on even surface.
• Unlock the plunge guide locking lever (15).
• Hold the handles with both hands and press the tool downwards,
overcoming the spring resistance.
• Release the pressure, springs will automatically return the router
body to default (upper) position.
SETTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
• Place the router on even surface.
• Unlock the plunge guide locking lever (15).
• Overcome the spring resistance and bring down the router body,
so the cutter bit touches surface the router is placed on.
• Lock the tool in the position with the plunge guide locking lever
(15).
• Loosen the depth gauge locking knob (9).
• Pull down the depth gauge (10) so it contacts one of the surfaces
of the depth gauge stepped bumper (7).
• When necessary, reset the depth gauge indicator (11) by shifting
it on the depth gauge (10).
• Put the depth gauge (10) at the height that corresponds to
required cutter bit plunging in processed material. Use the main
scale (12) on the router body. Then tighten the depth gauge
locking knob (9) to lock the setting.
You can set cutting depth precisely by turning knob for precise
depth adjustment (14). A full turn of the knob shifts the router body
vertically by 1.5 mm as shown by the precision scale (13) and scaling
every 0.1 mm. Range of depth adjustment is +/- 8 mm, which is
carried out by lifting or lowering the cutter body in relation to the
depth gauge stepped bumper (7). This causes reduction or increase
of working tool plunging depth. The shift is visible on the indicator
for precise depth adjustment (16).
Perform this action when the router is lowered to the point defined
by the depth gauge (10). Before adjustments, additionally loosen
the depth gauge locking knob (9). Only then the cutter body will be
able to shift freely during adjustments, along with the limiter. Once
the adjustments are finished, make sure the depth gauge (10) is in

depth gauge locking knob (9).

The router features depth gauge stepped bumper (7), that allows to
move (plunge) the cutter bit into material to one of eight equally
1
spaced positions (each pitch equals to approximately 3 mm).

ROUTING
1-2
Hold the router with both hands during operation!
• Install appropriate cutter bit (see above instructions).
3-6
• Put the base (5) on material that you plan to process (the cutter bit
2-4
must not touch the material at this time).
1-3
• Set routing depth.
5-6
• Switch on the router and wait until the spindle achieves the preset
3-6
idle speed.
1-3
• Start working, move the router base along the processed material
surface in desired direction.
5-6
• Move the router in steady, continuous movement, pressing the
3-4
base to the material surface all the time until you finish routing.
1-2
Too fast router advance during operation will result in low quality
of cutting and may cause damage of cutter bit or motor. Too
slow router advance may also result in low quality of cut due to
material overheating. Appropriate speed depends on size of
the cutter bit in use, type of processed material and processing
depth. It is recommended to make some tries on waste material
before commencing the planned work. During edge processing,
the processed material should be at the left side from the
cutter bit axis (looking in the direction of the router advance).
When you use linear guide for linear processing or trimming,
ensure that additional accessories are well fixed.
ROUTING DIRECTION
To avoid uneven edges and achieve best results of work, move the
router counter-clockwise for outer edges and clockwise for inner
edges (fig. H). Better control over the material and the tool itself
requires processing in the direction that is opposite to the direction
of the working tool.
INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE EDGE GUIDE
Edge guide is used for cutting at even distance from an edge of
reference. Special design allows for use at processing edges (fig. D)
or routing at a constant distance, parallel to an edge (fig. E).
• Loosen the locking knobs for edge guide bars (21) located in the
router base (5).
• Slide the edge guide bars (26) (fig. A) into the grooves for edge
guide bars (22) and set up required distance.
• Tighten the locking knobs for edge guide bars (21).
• To set up the edge guide (27) precisely, you can use the knob for
edge guide position adjustment (28). Change of the edge guide
(27) position shows with shifting of the indicator of edge guide
position (29) (fig. A).
INSTALLATION OF GUIDE SLEEVE
Guide sleeve allows for precise run of the router along a template
edge and precise copying of its shape.
• Undo the adapter fixing screws (30) to remove the dust extraction
adapter (31).
• Place the guide sleeve (35) in the router base (5) seating.
• Install the dust extraction adapter (31) and tighten two parts with
the adapter fixing screws (30) (fig. G).
Using guide sleeve limits allowable cutter bit size.
