CAUTION:
Before using the tool with the
plunge base, ensure the dust spout has been installed.
Using the Plunge Locking Lever on
the Plunge Base (Fig. 14)
• Push down on handles to reach the required depth
• Push lever down to lock
• When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should
not move in the base
• Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp
without excessive force or if the motor moves in the
base after clamping
CAUTION:
Excessive force should not be
used to clamp the locking lever. Using excessive force
may damage the base.
Centring the Sub-base of the Plunge
Base (Fig. 15)
Ensuring that the router cutter is perfectly centred in the
hole of the sub-base is key to successful routing.
• Insert the centring pin in to the collet and tighten the
collet nut.
• Place the guide bush into the recess on the underside
of the base, and secure the guide bush with the two
fixing screws
• Loosen but do not remove the 4 screws holding the
sub-base so that it moves freely from side-to-side
• Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on
the cone until it meets the guide bush. The cutter will
now be centred in the sub-base
• While holding down on the cone, tighten the sub-base
screws.
Cutting with the Plunge Base Fitted
with a Self-guided Cutter (Fig. 16)
• Plunge the router down until the cutter reaches the set
depth and lock with the plunge locking lever
• The ball bearing on a cutter acts as the guide against
the material edge.
• When cutting the edge, be sure to keep the workpiece
surface on the left side of the cutter in the feed
direction
• Perform the cut
• At the end of the cut release the plunge locking lever
and return the router to the top of its plunge travel
• Turn the router off
NOTE: Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is
recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed
speed depends on the trimmer cutter size, the kind of
EN - T1
workpiece, and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too
fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the
cutter or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may
burn and mar the cutting surface.
NOTICE: Since excessive cutting may cause overload
of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth
of cut should not be more than 3 mm at a pass when
cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more
than 3 mm deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper cutter depth settings.
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.
Assembling and Attaching the Side
Fence to the Plunge Base (Fig. 17)
• Screw the guide rods into the side fence and use the
notch on the side of the spanner to tighten
• Loosen the thumb knobs on the plunge base
• Slide the rods into the plunge base holes
• Tighten the thumb knobs to lock the fence in position
Using the Side Fence with the Plunge
Base (Fig. 18)
• Loosen the knob on the side fence and adjust the
position of the router so that the cutter is in the desired
place
• Tighten the knob to lock the side fence in that position
• Move the tool with the parallel side fence flush with the
side of the workpiece
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.
Attaching a Guide Bush to the Plunge
Base (Fig. 19)
• A guide bush allows the router to be used with jigs and
accessories
• Place the guide bush into the recess on the underside
of the base, and secure the guide bush with the two
fixing screws
Using a Guide Bush with the Plunge
Base
• Choose a cutter with a diameter which will pass
through the centre of the guide bush leaving enough
clearance
• Set cutter depth
• Locate guide bush against template, switch on
• Feed in the direction as shown
• At end of cut, switch off machine
NOTE: Always feed the router opposite to the direction
in which the cutter is rotating.
