Speed control
• The speed of the router is set using the Variable Speed Dial (5); a higher number on the dial
corresponds to a higher motor speed
• Choosing the correct speed for the cutter and material will produce a higher quality of finish, and
prolong the service life of your router cutters
Operation
Making a cut
• Always hold the router using both hands . Use clamps as appropriate to ensure that the workpiece
will not move
• Turn on and allow the motor to reach its full operating speed as set by the Variable Speed
Control (5)
• Lower the cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly, keeping the base held flat
against the work
• If edge cutting, keep the workpiece on the left-hand side of the router, relative to the cutting
direction . Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily through the material .
Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow the rate of progress
• To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anti-clockwise for external cuts, and clockwise for internal cuts
• Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish, and overloading of the motor.
Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece
Making multiple pass cuts
• The Turret Stop (10) allows the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in up to 7 steps . Each step
of the turret is equal to approximately 3mm depth of cut. Set the desired total depth of cut using
the depth stop, to the lowest turret step
• Rotate the Turret Stop so that the depth stop will contact the highest step when the router is
plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made
• Continue to make passes, rotating the Turret Stop anti-clockwise by one step for each pass until
the full depth of cut has been achieved
Note: For total cuts of less than 21mm the number of steps will be reduced .
Using the parallel guide
• When grooving, or chamfering, use of the Parallel Guide (13) will help to ensure that accurate
cuts are made
• Position the two Guide Rods (11) into the grooves in the top of the Base Plate (17)
• Locate the Parallel Guide onto the Guide Rods, so that it extends to the correct side of the router
for the cut that you intend to make
• Slide the Parallel Guide to the required position relative to the cutter
• The Measurement Bar (21) can be clipped to one of the Guide Rods to help ensure accurate
alignment . Ensure that the plastic pads on the parallel guide are not in contact with the cutter
• Make the cut as described above, but keep the vertical edge of the Parallel Guide held against
the edge of the workpiece
• If it is necessary to follow a curved edge, remove the protective plastic pads from the Parallel
Guide and fit the Roller Guide (26) using the screws provided. Use the same cutting technique as
described above, allowing the roller to follow the edge of the workpiece
Using the circle guide
• Use the Circle Guide (25) to cut circles and arcs
• Position a Guide Rod (11) into one of the grooves in the top of the Base
• Plate (17)
• Locate the Circle Guide onto the end of the Guide Rod so that it extends to the correct side of the
router for the intended cut with the point facing downwards . Rotate the pointed screw clockwise
so that it makes contact with the workpiece . Lock the Circle Guide to the Guide Rod by tightening
the wing nut
• Slide the Circle Guide to the correct distance from the cutter for the radius of the circle or arc and
tighten the Guide Rod Locking Knob (7) to secure in position . For a more secure attachment, a
second Guide Rod Locking Knob can be used
• Make the cut, keeping the circle guide point pressed into the workpiece
Using a guide bush
• The Guide Bush (23) should be used when template cutting
• To fit the Guide Bush, first remove the protective plastic pad from underneath the Base Plate
(17) . The Guide Bush can then be attached using the same nuts and bolts that secure the Dust
Extraction Port (16)
The circular flange should face downwards
• Replace the protective plastic pad before use
Note: Only use cutters with an diameter smaller than 16mm with the supplied Guide Bush
1500W Plunge Router 1/2"

Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life . Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth .
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor 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 (4) & (20) . Remove the worn
brushes 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
