•
To adjust the distance between the bit and the
straight guide, loosen the fixing screw (18) and
turn the fine adjusting screw ((20) 1.5 mm
per turn).
•
At the desired distance, tighten the Fixing
screws for parallel fence (4) to secure the
straight guide in place.
Mounting the template guide

The template guide is a handy aid for cutting a
pattern.
•
Mount the template guide (23) on the router
base (3) using the screws (22).

Usage tips
•
After switching the machine on, make sure the
machine reaches full speed before using it on
the workpiece.
•
Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the
workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
•
Hold the machine firmly and move it evenly
over the workpiece. Do not force the machine.
•
Only use cutters which do not show any signs
of wear. Worn cutters have a negative effect
on the efficiency of the machine.
•
Always switch off the machine first before
removing the plug from the wall socket.
Speed Preselection
The required speed can be preselected with the
thumbwheel. Also during running the rotational
speed can be adjusted.
1 – 2 = low speed
3 – 4 = medium speed
5 – 6 = high speed
Max = maximum speed
The required speeds depends on the material and
can be determined by practical testing.
Furthermore router bits with a large diameter
need a lower rotational speed.

Height setting of the router column
Fig. A + E
• The clamping lever (11) is used to set the
maximum height of the router.
• The plunge depth is then fixed. This is usually
necessary when using the tool on a special
router table.
• Make sure the router column is not locked.
• The router can be pushed down against the
spring force.
• Lock the router column using the clamping lever
• The router is now locked and will no longer
return to its original position.
Setting the plunge depth
Fig. A + E
The plunge depth can be adjusted by using
buttons 8 and 9. If the plunge depth is set
correctly, the groove in question can be routed
accurately to within 0.1 mm.
•
Place the desired cutter in the rool. The router
can be pushed down against the spring force.
•
Push the tool down until the cutter touches the
workpiece, then lock it using the clamping lever
•
Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclock-
wise.
•
Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact
with the adjusting bolt. The depth of cut is
indicated on the scale by the depth pointer.
•
While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the
stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is
obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be
obtained by turning the adjusting knob
(1 mm per turn).
•
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be
obtained by loosening the lock lever and then
lowering the tool body until the stopper pole
